"This literary dialogue encapsulates the broader ideological conflict in nineteenth-century Russia between Western rationalism and Orthodox spiritual depth."
This reminds me of Ivan from the brothers Karamazov and it's a theme I've seen often in Dostoevsky's works, although I think it was internalised in Ivan's case and the conflict eventually concluded with his insanity. Possibly indicating that a resolution is unattainable? That would then be similar to Camus' tension between the yearning for reason and the irrational universe which, irreconcilable, creates the absurd. Just a thought I could be very wrong
resolution often then not looks like to me a compromise on situation rather then solution that leaves everyone happy, so u may not be wrong in that assumption
notes from underground is definitely one of my favourites too, but i could never dare to analyze it cuz it’s so vast and subjective for me, means so many things. but i must say you’ve captured it very beautifully! loved it!!

So my destiny lies in eventually going insane
one must find a balance between attainable happiness and reality (unless ofcourse, insanity sound more appealing to you)
Why wouldn't it ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
