Typology of female images in the works of F.M. Dostoevsky

the article is devoted to the analysis of the typology of female images in the works of F.M. Dostoevsky. The research focuses on the division of female characters into three main typological groups: "fools", "proud" and "humble". Through the analysis of the motives of the "fallen woman" and the "doppelganger woman", the Christian concept of spiritual transformation through suffering is realized, which serves as an important element of F.M. Dostoevsky's philosophical anthropology and proves that female characters are not only a reflection of the social and psychological conflicts of the era. The work offers a synthesis of Christian anthropology and literary analysis, revealing how female images embody Dostoevsky's key ideas about sin, redemption, and salvation.
