Analysis of "Notes From Underground"

Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground embraces the concept of existentialism, through surreal imaginative thoughts. The protagonists remains unknown through out the novel,and thus reflecting his desire to isolate himself from society. At times, the protagonist becomes quite hysterical at his lack of decisive action. Ignoring love, and driven by self-disgust, the protagonist questions the purpose of life and the existence of God. Apparently, divulging between faith and reasoning, without the attachments of emotion.

This book was deep in thematic ideas and pleasant to read, due to its originality.

Does the absence of the protagonist name, give a sense of no life and identity?
