The Study Of Relationship Between Theodicy Paradox And Problem Of Desire In Dostoevsky’s Novels

Dostoevsky is a great writer who involved himself in dealing with the soul division of individuals. Human’s soul became the most thrilling battle field of God and Devil in his novels. Surrounding the value and destiny of human, the paradox of being trampled personality had experienced the evolution from moral dilemma to theodicy dilemma in Dostoevsky’s novels. Notes from the Underground was an important turning point. In this novel, the "underground man" was facing the paradox of absolute personality:trying to break the rational rule by using absolute personality, but at the same time facing nothingness while crossing the bound of rationality. This means that the human soul had become the abyss of the dual nature-the abyss of faith and the abyss of blasphemy. And so Berdyaev believed there was an "Apocalypse structure" in Dostoevsky’s novels. And the paradox ended until the fate of human soul was entrusted to God. But the "Apocalypse structure" was actually a vicious circular. Double abyss of the human soul led to the dual nature of suffering, which was as a salvation in the sense of ontology, and also as a fact of being as the result of soul instinct of injustices. As a result, the "underground man" was under the effect of inertia. But The Meek One revealed the possibility to reverse the inertia effect that the independent personality of the individual (especially female independent personality) and the suffering in the sense of ontology presented in the form of "inner meditation". And this means that we can return to the "inner meditation" mode which was as the cultural symbolism from the "Apocalypse structure" mode which was as an ontological status, to seek a possibility to overcome the soul division in Dostoevsky’s novels.
