Comparison Of Zosima And Alyosha In The Brothers Karamazov

In some ways both short stories were written with some similarities in mind. In both of the short stories that were told there was a death taken place which is a sad thing in stories that could affect the mood of the reader. After the death there is someone to clean it up and keep it secret so no one would know In both of the stories there is unique writing styles used to add effect to the story. These are some of the things that were used in both stories that kind of put them together as

Two people can be similar in many ways, but they may not know this. Sometimes the two people don't even know each other. Two people wrote two different short stories about two characters that went through different things but were a lot alike. In Richard Connell's short story “The Most Dangerous Game” and Saki’s short story “The Interlopers,” the main characters General Zaroff and Ulrich von Gradwitz are alike in the following ways: both men hunted on their own land, both men hunted humans, and both men died. Out of all the places in the world both men choose to hunt on their own land.

The two text are similar for various reasons. They are generally similar because they both have someone attempting to deny or rebel against society or government and they both get are unsuccessful and killed in the end. As seen in Harrison Bergeron this conflict occurs when Harrison

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

Another similarity between these two stories is that both of the characters have husbands who take

A very important similarity between the stories, is that they both are in the view point of a Union soldier in the nineteenth century, during the civil war. The similarities between these two books combine the ideals of battle and war, also the resemblances show how alike the two protagonists of the stories are.

The main similarity is the character's feeling that they can say or do whatever they are thinking in the moment. In “The Count of Monte Cristo”, “He saw but one means of restoring lucidity and clearness to his judgement.” “He soon felt that his ideas became again collected ------ he could think, and strengthen his thoughts by reasoning.” He was able to think clearly and have peace of mind. He could make good judgement and continue out his plans. He banged the stone and he knew that no one was coming to set him free.

Similarities between these stories are that there are two young boys having a conflict with their family, and they both were caused by a misunderstanding. Another example is that both of these misunderstandings happened in the author's childhood. They both

I suspect the similarities are easier to find by reading the play because the movie really shows their contrasts. There is one similarity in that when they really believe something, they are passionate about their cause.

Both pieces share many similarities that are obvious from the beginning. In both stories the protagonist is a girl around the age of twelve who faces many hardships that she must learn to cope with. While on the surface the tragedies these characters must face may seem entirely different, they actually are quite comparable, and both eventually lead the character to escape from them into fantasy.

While the pair serves as functional opposites when it comes to emotional involvement, the lives of the two individuals are strangely similar. For instance, take the fact that the two come from very different walks of life, yet they both show the same want, the same craving for isolation from society. Raskolnikov wishes nothing more to be left alone by the people he sees as lesser than him. Meursault is simply so detached from the world, there is no way to describe him other than isolated. While the reasoning behind the isolated behavior is different, the need for both is still clearly displayed and relevant to both stories. Raskolnikov's causes him to push the ones he loves away in order to suffer alone, while Meursault's causes him to lose

Ivan, brother to Alyosha and Dmitri, also speaks to Alyosha on his beliefs in the existence of God. Ivan, being a scholar and intellectual of sorts, is by far the most skeptical and critical of the brothers in his assessment of the question. He claims initially that no natural law that made humans love each

Both of these works have very similar narrators. By just reading the works, they seem very different because of who they killed and why, where and with whom they lived, and how they murdered their victims. But, by analyzing the two men, they become more and more alike. They both tell their stories in the first person and write from their jail cells. Each chose to reference an animal in their stories. The two men, both hide the corpses in the structures of the homes. Likewise, the narrators try to defend their sanity by logically justifying their horrific actions based on their mental states throughout the flashbacks of the events.

     Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “Dostoevsky, the only one who has taught me anything about psychology.” The two writers share many similarities and differences. Dostoevsky clearly had an effect on the thinking of Nietzsche. The two would be considered both philosophers and psychologists. Both writers became prominent in the late 19th century in Germany and Russia respectively. Dostoevsky was noted for his Russian literary classics and would be responsible for a flowering of late 19th century Russian literary culture. His Russian contemporaries include Leo Tostoy and Anton Chekov. Dostoevsky’s most famous works include The Brothers Karamozov, The Idiot, and Crime and Punishment.

The strongest point of comparison between the two characters in question is their mutual descent into mental instability and the degree to which this influences their behavior. Indeed, the common ground in the two stories is at the outset, when an ailing ruler is manipulated into divided his kingdom amongst his children. This division of territories, an event stimulated by individual vanity and infirmity, would have consequences kingdom-wide. The unraveling of civility and familial bonds which would occur thereafter is common to both tellings.
