* [[Author Tract]] Noticeably averted -- the author's opinions fell just about opposite of the Underground Man's. Dostoevsky was actually using the character as an example of what he saw as the degradation of the human condition.
* [[Big Ham]]: The thing with a lot of Dostoevsky's characters is that they work on extremes. They not always be in your face bombastic and they may not be loud, but they take whatever trait they have to (or past)its logical extreme to the point of ridiculous, [[Rule of Symbolism|but it serves a purpose]].▼
* [[Downer Ending]]
* [[Foregone Conclusion]] A minor case, since the second half of the book is a flashback.
Line 16 ⟶ 29:
* [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold]] Liza.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] Debatable on the "heart of gold" part, but he does seem to regret everything he's done.

* [[Loners Are Freaks]] The narrator is really terrible at making friends, partly because he's abrasive and rude, and partly because he has major social anxiety.
* [[Mind Screw]]
