Why is Totsky afraid of Nastasya? Why does he want her to marry someone before he does?

Just finished Magarshack's translation of The Idiot. Pic related. I like Dosty but I really struggled with this, especially the final third or so.

A lot of it seems to drag on with little interest, though I really liked Ippolit, Lebedev and General Ivolgin - and the stories of death and sacrifice that were present particularly in the beginning.

I really think I'm missing something since the last 200 pages or so seemed like a slog to get through. Am I a big pleb?

What books must I read before pic related? I'm a newfam when it comes to literature, only read the House of the Dead and some story-based novels before with a few classic 20th century novels.

Who is the most beautiful character ever written? What makes him or her beautiful?

Want to read this but is it worth reading the Constance Garnett translation or should I seek out another one?

Yeah, unfair. My body wasn't ready for this after War and Peace, where we could say characters have a good ending.

Now i want to continue with "Demons", what should i expect?
