The main character in "The Idiot" is not so much stupid as naive. He is trusting and unaware of social mores. This in combination with his wealth is what gets him into and out of situations.
I did not really like the book until the very end when the climax occurs. There were many parts where it was difficult to continue because of not really caring about all the aristocratic gossip and psuedo troubles.
