Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the theme of alienation in three works by F. M. Dostoevsky, Notes from the Underground (1864), Crime and Punishment (1866), and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877). This article will argue that despite the overall different set of circumstances, Dostoevsky’s literary works nevertheless provide some insight into thecoping mechanisms we can utilize when dealing with loneliness and alienation-related problems during social isolation.
