Note 106 — THE UNFULFILLED IDEA INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO THE LIFE OF A GREAT SINNER
S. S. (Samuel Solomonovitch) Koteliansky translation
The original draft gives the following characteristics of the hero:
—No authority.
—Germs of the most violent physical passions.
—Inclinations towards boundless power and unshakable belief in his authority. To move mountains. And is glad to test his power.
—Struggle—his second nature. But quiet, not stormy.
—Despises falsehood with all his strength.
