Dostoevsky entered the list of world writers with his weighty works illuminating the human psyche. All his works celebrating universal human values have already been collected on a real reader's shelf. By illuminating the life and lifestyle of a particular people, the sage exalts above himself the spiritual qualities inherent in all peoples equally -love, loyalty, economy, hard work. The novel “The Poor”is one of such works, glorifying feelings and feelings. This article presents an analysis of the images of an old and impoverished official – Makar Alekseevich Devushkin and the orphan girl Varvara Alekseevna Dobroselova, taken as the main characters in Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s novel The Beggars. And also that Dostoevsky creatively borrowed from Goethe the method of revealing the human soul through the “writing” of its spiritual expressions, which was reflected in the educational novel “The Poor”.
