Its pretty funny how inept Underground man is. Pacing a room for 3 hours! His awkward conversation with Liza. Funny stuff boys.

damn, she just hit him with "its as if you... its as if it's from a book" after he gave a little speech about love and marriage and happiness. She fucking killed him.

Tragedy and exaggeration go together, Anon. You are supossed to also laugh with the histrionism of Dostoevsky's characters. TBK has those moments too.

I thought that the "something" the Underground Man pressed into Liza's hand as she was leaving was his cock instead of a ruble when I first read it lol

That's fine anon. The underground man was pacing in a room with 4 acquaintances without speaking to them and sweating through his clothes while they were just drinking and chilling.

If you didn't find the dinner conversation with the elder and Fyodor and the before/after funny, I don't know what to tell you, other than it's just not for you.

I assume you haven’t read it in a long time so you don’t remember. The scene where Luzhin visits Dunya and her mother while Razumkhin and Raskolnikov are present? The ridiculous passive-aggressive tension between Luzhin and Lebezianikov? The scene when some German lady is baiting “Gunpowder” Petrovich to verbally abuse her at the police station because she secretly enjoys it? Those are just off the top of my head.

>> No.17570330

Of course most of his works are funny. It comes with writing socially inept main characters.

>> No.17570352

>>17570314
You're right, I can't even remember some of those scenes. It has been a long time, yeah. The horse dream and the confrontation and the widow's death while she beats her children and marmadelov's death, I remember all of those horrific scenes but not the funny ones it seems. I think that book has a lot of tension that masks the funny parts, unlike the idiot

That cracked me up

>pace out of view to deprive them of my company
>get upset when the dont notice i’m not there

Also getting to the restaurant super early and not knowing what to do.

>you changed the time!!
>yes, but we didn’t know where to find you. You just showed up yesterday out if the blue and left
