Everybody seems to be affected by Myshkin. After their first impression of him being what he is, they come to him saying that he's the only TRUE person that they met at that time. They want to be friends with him, seeking his relation as someone whom they will entrust with their individual affairs.
However, every since Myshkin talked to Rogozhin and told him about what he feels for Nastasya Filippovna, I couldn't help but think about his insincerity about this declaration. Given the circumstances at the time of the revelation, what he said might not be truly what he feels.
He has been spending some time with Aglaia and he feels different every time. Like the one we feels when we are with someone that truly interests us. Someone we truly like but not necessarily love. But still, I don't believe about what he feels for Nastasya. Well, he truly might be an idiot for saying that. A martyr? Nah... I don't think so. It's probably the fact that he knows that he and Nastasya can't be. Under any circumstance.
With Aglaia, on the other hand, there is a possiblity. But considering the culture, there are some obstacles. Aglaia seems to be trying to find a way to be with him. But it is still too early to tell of her intentions. Could it be that she is really in love with Myshkin? Or is it possbile that she's just overwhelmed with Myshkin being the kind of person that he is? As in those times and as they say, you cannot find someone like Myshkin in their society.
