PokhomT Deserve To Die By Leo Tolstoy Analysis

Plus he does not want to share his wealth with anyone just like when a poor woman asks to have a little money to buy her husband a head stone he just passes her like it is nothing. He shows no regard for human life and that is why he needs to die. He rides his carriage through the streets fast so he can see the peasants run and avoid being hit, and because he was doing this he ran over a child. He acted like the child’s life meant nothing and threw the father a few coins and kept going. The cruelty and evil he delivered would die with him, and for the good of the people in the town his death was an example how good triumphed over evil.

In Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, Rakitin responds to a central question throughout the novel, “What is permitted?” when he proudly states to Dmitry that “An intelligent man can do anything he likes as long as he’s clever enough to get away with it” (788). While Rakitin has found his answer to this question, multiple characters in the novel are still stuck on that question. Throughout the novel, Dostoevsky seems to separate these characters into two groups: the characters like Dmitry who wonder if all actions are permitted and the characters like Ivan who wonder if all thoughts are permitted. These groups seem completely separate until Book 10 when a boy named Koyla Krasotkin comes onto the scene who seems to be in both groups at once as he tests for himself exactly what thoughts and actions are permitted. In Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky uses Book 10 and Kolya to introduce the idea that the “free thinkers” and the “free doers” are one in the same in that they are wondering who will punish those who go beyond “what is permitted” and by extension sets up an argument between moral and legal punishment throughout the rest of the novel.

Tolstoy uses characters to show varying degrees of manipulation. Today’s society also displays many instances of manipulation, primarily in entertainment.

Ivan the 5th, who is also heavily known as Ivan the Terrible was the first Tsar to rule over Russia. Ivan the Terrible, was known for his violent and ruthless outbreaks. He was feared greatly and this led to the fleeing of Prince Krubsky. Prince Krubsky was the leading general of the Tsar when he fled and deserted his lead for the Polish- Lithuanian forces in Livonia. Prince Krubsky who was also a member of the select council, did not want to adopt the dislike of Ivan the Terrible.

The Tatars also known as the Mongols invaded Russia and forced the Russian princes to send tribute to the Tartar state or the Empire of the Golden Horde. During this time there were attempted invasions from the Swedes and the Livonian Brothers of the Sword. Both were defeated by Alexander Nevsky, a prince and a warrior from Novgorod. A century later the Tatars went southwest and the northeastern cities of Russia gained significance. One city was Moscow. Moscow had gained enough power to challenge the Tatars and in 1380 a Muscovite prince attacked. The Muscovite prince succeeded but the Tartars maintained their rule over the city. In 1480, Moscow was finally strong enough to throw off Tartar rule for good. Ivan the Great gained control over Moscow’s rival

Tolstoy did not believe that human life was futile. In his later years he came to believe that the best life was one of Christian humility and simplicity. His story "How Much Land Does a Man Require" shows the futility of human greed. The protagonist is to gain possession of all the land he can walk around in one day. His greed for land lures him into walking farther and farther in order to encompass desirable woods, pastures, and other attractive areas. Because of his greediness he finds himself too far away from the point that would represent the enclosure of all the land he was attempting to encircle in one day. His anxiety and exertion kill him and he is buried in just six feet of earth. The whole story illustrates how foolish people

“How should life be lived?” This is a question that people repeatedly ask themselves during their life. Outside influences, such as the media, celebrities, and peer pressure force people to search for the answer to this question. As a result, many books have been written about how life should be lived, one of these being The Death of Ivan Ilych. In this novella, Leo Tolstoy tells the reader how to live a good life by describing the life and death of someone who lived “the simplest, the most ordinary, and the most awful” kind of life (95). Tolstoy achieves his purpose by using different figures of speech; specifically, he uses irony to demonstrate how Ivan, the main character, lived a bad life, personification to show why he lived a bad life, and rhetorical questions to explain how life should be lived.

In the contemporary Lithuanian historical research majority of these Soviet trials are often analyzed from a very one-sided perspective. In Lithuania these trials are usually defined as an instrument of the Soviet regime to legitimize its own crimes against humanity and are perceived solely as Soviet political tools against local resistance fighters. These judicial proceedings are usually closely linked with the trials organized against the anti-Soviet partisans and their supporters, who fought for the re-establishment of the Lithuanian independence, and with the mass deportations, conducted by the Soviet authorities. During the period between 1940 and 1953, some 300,000 Lithuanians were deported to the remotest parts of the USSR and sent to the Gulag lagers. Most of these people were deported after the official verdicts of the courts. Therefore, in Lithuania the Soviet legal order is defined as the system of terror and is an emotionally charged historical experience. The

Russia had been an autocratic government for 300 years under the Romanov Dynasty before the revolution of 1917. When problems started in the early 1900’s most people were serfs that had been freed about 20 years before. In 1914 during World War One, Czar Nicholas II decided to stay in war with Germany despite what the rest of his country thought. Nicholas posed a distraction from the countries problems. His plan was to keep his soldiers minds off of the horrible living conditions of Russia by staying in war with Germany and starting a war with Japan in hope that he would lead his country to a victory; both wars were lost, giving Russian citizens more to be upset about. Russia’s Army was extremely weak, made mainly of peasants, and the cost

Leo Tolstoy was an author, anarchist, critic, pioneer, visionary, and a world changer. He wrote many great novels and various other literary works in his time, but that only scratches the surface of how and what he did to change the world. Leo Tolstoy changed the world by starting schools which allowed peasants to get an education, influencing leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and changed the world through his writings.

A double standard is a rule or principle that is applied to different groups or people in unfair ways, being widely used as discriminatory, and to put down others in order to gain personal benefits. In the novels of Flaubert and Tolstoy the double standard is mainly applied to separate women from men, but also to separate social groups, in ranks and beliefs. In Tolstoy’s novel, the women especially upper class, “had to speak French and English on alternate days”, as said by Levin (1.6.21), to whom it also seemed that “the female side … had no defects in them, … possible perfection.” (1.6.21). During the time this novel was being written the feminist movement had started to gain some popularity among women, who wanted to have equal opportunities

“Nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom.” –The Grand Inquisitor” “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” - Father Zosima. These two quotes voice the polarized philosophies that impregnate the book, The Brothers Karamazov. Ivan, the second of the three sons, and Zosima, the old monk, are huge commentators on the question, “Is the burden of free will to much for a human to bear?”
