La mujer ajena y el marido debajo de la cama escrito en 1848 antes de su arresto y exilio, formando parte de sus primeros relatos cómicos y de crítica social, cuando Fiódor Dostoyevski experimentaba con el relato breve humorístico dentro de la tradición satírica rusa del siglo XIX. Aunque no posee la profundidad estructural de sus grandes novelas, anticipa rasgos esenciales de su obra: la atención a la conciencia alterada, el análisis del autoengaño y la exposición pública de la vergüenza. El espacio físico reducido —debajo de la cama— funciona como símbolo de una conciencia atrapada.
