Dostoevsky is considered one of the greatest writers of the novel, as his works are characterized by the ability to narrate that attracts the reader and its strong expression of the insides of the human soul, and he expressed this in the titles of his novels that describe a person in his various attitudes and behaviors: The Gambler - The Teenager - The Humiliated and Humiliated - Crime and Punishment - The Idiot.. In this novel, Dostoevsky presents a description of the gambler's soul and feelings, and his frantic drift to the point that he becomes unable to leave the gambling game, unless the game ends, or he loses every penny in his pocket. Dostoevsky does not present the gambler as a reprehensible figure, but portrays him with a kind of fascination, a kind of magic, unconscious drift, or a challenge to circumstances. Dostoevsky depicts, as usual in his novels, the depths of his characters' secrets. Alexei Ivanovich, who loves the cruel, stubborn, and strange Pauline, submits to her and her whims and says: In humiliation and downfall there is great pleasure.
