Karamazov

Throughout Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Eastern versus Western ideas are constantly being introduced and in turn debated, sometimes violently. This being the case, it would be uncharacteristic of Dostoevsky to include such an extensive account, The Grand Inquisitor, against Christ and there not to be an East versus West theme. Eastern versus Western may be understood as Orthodox versus Roman Catholic although it is not to be restricted only within the scope of religious debates. The

Out of the characters in the book, The Brothers Karamazov, I would have to agree that Alyosha. The reason I picked this brother is because he has a sense of passionate and emotion toward problems and he encourages others. Alyosha loves to help and he seems to have an all-pervading mind that lingers to others needs. He is always trying to see how he can help others.

Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov I took sometime over the last couple of days to contemplate the question posed and that question was; which of the brothers did we most relate to? This was a difficult process for me because when thinking back over my life in parts, each part would reflect a different brother. After some extensive thought I chose Alexei because in my current state of life our experiences are very similar and in our early years we have a similar incident that took place. Even though

given in The Bible is clearly positive; we understand that God - a perfect being - has created the universe and has seen that it is, 'very good'. However, Dostoevsky presents us with a wholly different outlook on the world in his book, The Brothers Karamazov, 'At that moment a Turk points a pistol four inches from the baby’s face.

The novel Brothers Karamazov represents parricide, and how did direct and indirect circumstances lead to the murder of Fyodor Pavlovich. Then again, the book develops from a crime novel into a deep understanding of the human psyche and soul.
