A priceless addition to the literature of the penal experience. . . . A master of psychological portraiture. . . . A testament to the power of the human will, the way it can marshal patience and imagination and hope against the most nightmarish assaults on human dignity.”— The New Criterion rawmeatcowboy (September 2, 2017). "Trademark update - New trademark applications from SEGA, Taito, and Sonic Powered". GoNintendo . Retrieved June 25, 2022. Aristov an exceptionally corrupt and perverted nobleman who acts as a spy and informer. Repelled by his depravity, Alexander Petrovich refuses to enter in to relations with him. He is a man utterly submitted to corporeality and the basest impulses, with a conscience guided only by cold calculation. Alexander Petrovich says of him that "if he wanted a drink of brandy, and could only have got it by killing some one, he would not have hesitated one moment if it was pretty certain the crime would not come out." All of this culminates into incredible world building, which creates the right mood while giving the reader enough information so that they can picture exactly what they are reading. In this way Dostoyevsky can challenge the reader both emotionally and intellectually which is the perfect combination for reflection.

Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit which may be developed until at last it becomes a disease. I declare that the noblest nature can become so hardened and bestial that nothing distinguishes it from that of a wild animal. Blood and power intoxicate; they help to develop callousness and debauchery. The mind then becomes capable of the most abnormal cruelty, which it regards pleasure; the man and the citizen are swallowed up in the tyrant; and the return to human dignity, repentance, moral resurrection, becomes almost impossible.” Dr. Curien, Agent G, Thomas Rogan, and Ebitan appeared as playable characters in the mobile RPG spinoff title SEGA Heroes.

Petrovitch encounters many prisoners, all of which accurately project the life inside the labor camps (as well as the broader Russia which encompasses it) and many of the characters are true to life people which Dostoyevsky himself encountered in prison. Thus, the book can also be read as a psychological case study, in which readers can analyze the effects that grief, hunger, and hard labor can have on a man’s mind, body, and soul. Nevertheless the basic line of detachment, there is an underlying sense of vastness and complexities of each destiny that only brushes against the main character as he goes on in repetitive and dull camp life. The book has the atmosphere of the life of a prisoner, somewhere between dreariness and cruelty. Often a man endures for several years, submits and suffers the cruelest punishments, and then suddenly breaks out over some minute trifle, almost nothing at all.” Fyodor Dostoevsky’s semi-autobiographical novel The House of the Dead begins as an unnamed narrator lauds the merits of living in a rural town in Siberia. In one such town, he recalls, he encountered Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov, a former convict who spent time in a labor camp for the murder of his wife. Once a nobleman, the former convict now lives a mundane life. The narrator found his story fascinating, so he sought to interview him and discover the truth of prison life. Aleksandr, however, proved uninterested in speaking with the man and rebuffed him. Eventually, the narrator learns from Aleksandr’s former landlady that the gruff man has passed on. She gives him a collection of papers and writings that Aleksandr left behind, and the narrator begins to read through them. As he does, the narration shifts to Aleksandr, speaking post-humously through the scattered papers now owned by the original narrator. Dostoevsky did five years of hard labour in a Siberian prison for being in the wrong room at the wrong time. When he was released in 1854 he had to serve time in the Siberian army and he was still banned from publishing anything. This memoir of his time in the joint finally came out in 1861 and it was a big hit. It was the first book to reveal all the horrors of life inside. Dosto said to his brother
