Our prince
Idk how I haven't mentioned it before but the Narrator calling Nikolay 'the prince' alludes further than just Shakespeare. Satan was called the prince of this world.
But anyway it dos perfectly align with the whole vib of high society that Part I keeps up. Similar to 'our prince' Myshkin, 'our prince' Nicolas is detached, delirious, and idealogically different from their society. But their difference is that in all the places our prince Myshkin is vulnerable and good-hearted; we have no idea what our prince Nicolas does believe in, his 'delirium' is kept incredibly vague to the reader, and he remains somehow unknown to us as a person despite being a main subject of the narration.
I couldn't help but bring up Myshkin when he was the prince and metaphorically the 'Christ-like man,' and Nikolay is the prince in a book called Devils.
