Reply to comment by edgelordjones in Is Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky a good read for someone who loves philosophy? by thePian0Star

You mean he is full of hatred towards nothing of value? Basically like the title of Shakespeare's work, Much Ado about Nothing, maybe?

Astute. His entire existence is centered around being angry at imagined slights.

So he basically creates things to be angry at them? His entires existence revolves around being revolted about things and when he sees that said things do not really exist, he imagines them so that he can continue to be angry, however they are unimportant at best? Is that an accurate description?

Took me a few days with a whole schedule but if you sit down early and don’t do anything else you could do it.
