  Article:   THEATRICALITY IN DOSTOEVSKY’S DEMONS.

Authors:  SABIN SABADOS. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The concept of theatricality initiated in the theatre performance extended its influence over most different creations. Among these, there is the novel and, subsequently, Dostoevsky’s work. In The Demons theatricality is deeply related to freedom, the way the human beings assert themselves using theatre-like means. The exposure, the exhibition, the public assumption of some major desiderates offer Dostoevsky’s hero the opportunity to exercise the attributes of freedom. The present study is but an attempt to bring to light the “theatricality” in the reactions of Dostoevsky’s characters.

Keywords: theatricality, Dostoevsky, novel, freedom, character
