My nym is the name of the protagonist of the novel "The Idiot", Prince Myshkin. He's a naive, not articulated, child-like russian guy that, despite being not very clever, triggers a lot of empaty in the reader. He turns out to be a better person than who's around him, despite his low intelligence.
He embodies the idea whereby sometimes The Good is not explainable. He's not articulate at all, but he's a better person than anyone else in the novel. Kind of precursor of Alyosha Karamazov' naivety.
