The Relation between Dostoevsky and the Characters of The Brothers Kara

The Relation between Dostoevsky and the Characters ofThe Brothers KaramazovId break in happy if I could finish this final novel, for I would have verbalised myself completely. This statement from the author of The Brothers Karamazov helps elucidate the underlying purpose and theme of one(a) of the greatest masterpieces of world literature. Superficially, the novel deals with a horrifying parricide and how the supporting characters devised civilize and indirect circumstances leading to the murder. Yet, the book delves deep into the hu macrocosm somebody and the soul--notably that of the author himself. The novel, as inferred from the aforementioned personal statement, may best be described as an autobiography of Dostoevsky filled with his beliefs, values, theories, and insights on a sottish world. Through the main characters-Ivan, Alyosha, Dmitri, Father Zosima, and Smerdyakov--one can perceive the different sides of Dostoevsky himself, well behaved and evil. Not only does one see his characteristics through the protagonists and antagonists of the novel, but in addition his beliefs concerning life, religion, and delight. Among his personal beliefs integrated with his fictitious characters include faith in love over faith in miracles, the importance of suffering as a means of salvation, and the importance of the Russian folk and children in the coming twentieth century. But despite Dostoevskys overbearing presence in his masterpiece, one inconstant inevitably affects all of his characters as well as the entire documentation world--death. Thus, through the novel, he introduces us into his tormented mind and soul, hoping to influence future tense generations in his beliefs of a better homo, unafraid of the spectre of death that impart crush the cowardly but unharm the s... ... see the soul of a humanness who carried vengeance in his heart, yet maintained a love for mankind characteristic of the biblical Job, whose suffering only brought more sympath y and blessings in the eyes of God. On an juiceless note, Dostoevsky presented Alyosha Karamazov as a young man who would instill the love and spirituality to the innocent children needed to turn the backswept country of Russia into a global power. These children did indeed change Russia 30 long time later, not as spiritual lovers but as violent rebels in a communist revolution. They sought to free the peasants and laborers by theory, but in reality created a totalitarian state more powerful than even up Peter the Great could have imagined. Now, the once powerful Russia lies wasted amidst the corresponding poverty it dwelled in one hundred years earlier. Truly an ironic twist to the beliefs of a prophetic man.
