The Issues of Self-Awareness in Dostoyevsky's Works

         It seems like Dostoyevsky Is busy trying to mess with the readers by constantly starting a thought and then never finishing the thought, almost intentionally most of the time. This actually seems to be related to the central theme of the story of ends and how certanty, once acquired, often leads to the knowledge of the self and ends up with the realization of more pain before. This brings the story back to the idea presented earlier, the concept that sometimes it is better to be ignorant than to actually have knowledge of what is going on around you. The narrator seems to be implying the fact that he has reached some sort of self realization and is commenting on this realization and what it means to how pain and suffering have very different meanings because of the extra knowledge that certain people, or "mice" have and I feel this idea is going to have a large amount of meaning throughout this book and almost any of Dostoyevsky's writings.
