The heart of Dostoevsky's philosophy is, as pointed out by his par Louis Pareyson 'experience in conceiving of freedom as the most profound experience of man. " And also because central to the achievement of the good and the attainment of salvation not so much the experience of evil, but rather the experience of "freedom primary", which then acts as the 'condition of all others. " But what is meant by freedom in Dostoyevsky?
for freedom should mean freedom primary, namely the freedom to choose between good and evil, freedom to choose between rebellion and obedience, the freedom to reject or approve the principle of being and good [1] .
And, indeed, in all the works, Dostoyevsky revolves around this problem, creating characters that express various interpretations and understandings of freedom. Famous people, in fact, embody the conflicting ideas present in society, but also in the same author. As always says Pareyson:
Dostoevsky's novels are positions of problems and conflicts of ideas, and his heroes are real ideas personified [...] All his characters are living ideas, adhere to ideas, ideas decipher, fighting ideas [2] .
ideas of course, are either right or wrong for Dostoevsky, constructive or destructive, for both the individual and for society. The idea
Prince, the mother of all other ideas, is freedom; for Dostoevsky, then it is extremely important to clarify the true concept of freedom and free from false interpretations.
Following these guidelines, my research, will set the focus on some of these characters-heroes, in which, more and more clearly, freedom is specified as a condition of ethics, cutting a path of research that does not pretend to completely eviscerate all the vast and complex issues related to the same characters-heroes.
intentionally omit to take account of the first period of production of Dostoevsky, a period which also includes major works, poor people, Memories from the house of the dead, humiliated and offended.
In these works, You can see some issues to be dominant in the works of the second period, but still at an embryonic stage the great problems of Dostoevsky. [3]
In fact, Dostoevsky "is inspired by a secular view of life and Europeanist, philosophical form of humanitarianism, of utopian socialism, and general optimism in the brotherhood of man" [4] .
The second period begins with: Notes from the underground, in 1864, is marked by a turning point, certainly influenced by his death sentence commuted, by the Tsar to the last minute, the deportation to forced labor camps, where he spent five years on the border with Mongolia, before returning to St. Petersburg. As always Pareyson
also states, believes that the experience of the death sentence revoked and then the painful odyssey of deportation have had a profound effect on his thinking: The tragic
minutes spent waiting for the shooting, condoned, with a grisly mass desired scene in the Tsar at the last moment, they taught him to "see life from the side of death", as rightly stated Thurneysen [5] , the acute interpreter Barth Dostoevsky, and the experience of the bathroom Criminal taught him to be able to see not just, as in the socialistic philanthropy, "a brother in humans more unimportant ' [6] , but above all "an unfortunate criminal in" [7] .
However, if you can say that the death penalty certainly had an impact on turning registratasi in the formation of Dostoevsky, but it is difficult to say that was the only reason.
Dostoevsky reported within his novels, through the characters he creates, the various issues that have followed and marked during its existence, as the theme of illness: tuberculosis, mental illness, epilepsy he is sick to father's death, and that the bad luck allowed him to be able to tell the disease from the side of the patient, enabling him to describe the inner light which anticipated the seizure, a light which reward the pain of the disease. In his stories more than his life, he was able to relate the fundamental themes that fill his life, he intertwines the difficult relationships with women, in respect of whom knows only a love smothering and possessive, he masterfully reported in his novels, his relationship with the female world is always domain, clipping his jealousy all his love, transforming it into outright dominance, difficult to manage for him and for those around him. Its economic problems often created in his novels characters who live or how great principles, luxury and ostentation, most luxurious humble servants dressed in rags.
Normality is rarely used by Dostoyevsky, because as rightly said, something trivial and hardly deserves to return to normal in a novel, whose purpose is to engage a reader who is usually attracted to things that are beyond the life of all days.

"Dostoevsky's work is divided into two periods, before and after the Memoirs of the subsoil. Between these two periods in Dostoevsky was a spiritual revolution, after which he discovered new evidence in humans. Only after this began the real Dostoevsky, the author of Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The Adolescent, The Brothers Karamazov. In the first period, in which Dostoevsky wrote Poor people, Memoirs of a House of the Dead, humiliated and offended, she was still "a beautiful soul," a humanitarian and dominated by the naive sentimentality.
