The Idiot/YMMV
- Jerkass Woobie: Nastasya Filippovna, full stop.
- Moe: Prince Myshkin has a lot of these traits, being a virginal ill guy who gives off an air of child-like innocence and trust. Needless to say, this being Dostoevsky, things do not go well (see the Purity Sue entry below). Could possibly count as a deconstruction for this reason.
- Purity Sue: Deconstructed; Prince Myshkin is a model of Christ-like purity, which simply leads the rest of Russian society to take advantage of him.
- The Woobie: Prince Myshkin.
