 | | The double (who was subsequently being referred as the Golyadkin junior and the adversary), with bold effrontery, went out his own way to show Golyadkin impudence, insulted Golyadkin, and purloined Golyadkin's papers in order to win approbation of the double's superiors at work. |
 | | Regardless of the existence of the double, the imposter has simply trampled Golyadkin in the mire, perfidiously intruded him, and showed clearly that the senior and also the genuine Golyadkin is not genuine at all but a counterfeit, and that Golyadkin junior himself is the real one. |
 | | The novel is influenced by Gogol and this explains the Fantasy elements of 'The Double' The novel is not so flamboyant like the works he wrote later like 'The Idiot' or 'Crime and Punishment', but if you are interested in the novels of the young Dostoyevsky, 'The Double' is strongly recommended. |
