This is a story by Fyodor Dostoevsky where the dominant element is the relentless satire of male marital jealousy, which leads, in our story, to incredibly comedic scenes of infinite beauty: the comical image of the jealous and betrayed husband.
His jealousy acts as the driving force of the action; the situation in which the husband seeks help, without suspecting it, from his wife's lover; the absurd situation in which he finds himself, accidentally entering a stranger's room and hiding under the bed of a married couple.
The hero of our story feels trapped in a true comedy, being aware of the absurdity of his behavior, and acting through outrageous coincidences, in some way it is as if he distances himself from the circumstances in which he lives and his life acquires a comico-tragic character.
