Fyodor Dostoevsky’s appearance, mainly his majestic beard, resembles both the title character of his novel, The Idiot, as well as Nietzsche’s prophet who exclaimed that God was dead. It comes before its time to a world that was neither ready nor justified in acknowledging the difficult truths it poses.
Also, his coat is worn a bit loosely, just like the moral tendencies of the Brothers Karamazov.
