Often times it's when expectations don't align with reality. Disillusionment stems from having been sold an idea that turns out to either be unachievable or a lie. One such example is a middle-aged man who believes being a man mea

His words and actions show he is incapable of viewing things from others' perspectives, as demonstrated by trying to marry Nastasya. He may be aware of his own motives but he is very unaware of how the motives of others contrast.

Doesn't the word 'savant' imply wisdom? Prince Myshkin is as naive as they come. I would think someone in his shoes wouldn't mind being walked all over like he is in the book. "Do not give what is holy to the dogs;
