How far would you go to escape the ghost of your past?

In The Permanent Husband, Fyodor Dostoevsky presents a deeply psychological and morally complex narrative about a man consumed by jealousy, regret, and the inability to move forward. Pavel Pavlovich, upon learning of his wife's infidelity, becomes fixated on the man she truly loved. Fueled by his wounded pride and an overwhelming desire for revenge, he sets out on a course that will only deepen his own suffering.

As his obsession takes hold, Pavel finds himself trapped between hatred and self-pity, unable to break free from the past that haunts him. Through his journey, Dostoevsky explores the destructiveness of resentment, the pain of lost love, and the tragic consequences of clinging to old wounds.
