Simply perfection in every use of the word. Dostoevsky is a genius and a master of literature.
Favourite characters:
1. Ivan - one of the most complex and interesting characters oat.
2. Alyosha- a Christlike, beautiful figure to love and look up to.
3. Mitya- a relatable, lustful character who wants to change but doesn’t have the strength to do so.
4. Father Zossima- a wise monk who serves as a mentor to Alyosha and to us as well.
5.a. Smerdyakov- a hateful bastard of Fyodor Pavlovitch (don’t want to say anymore without spoiling)
5.b. Kolya- an impressionable young boy who seeks to be respected, and needs a figure such as Alyosha in his life.
