The brothers Karamazov, 4 parts - Dostoevsky

The story is about a father who is excessive in drinking, well-off, and a wicked person who mocks everything noble. He engages in inappropriate actions at every opportunity. And when his children were infants, he neglected them not intentionally, but because he forgot them, and forgot their existence due to his chaotic life. His eldest son Demetri is an emotional man capable of sincere love for two women at the same time, and you will get to know them in the novel and the story behind them. This son often argues with his father over money, and competes with him for a woman they both fell in love with. As for the youngest son, his name is Elisha, and he is one of Dostoevsky's attempts to create a purely and innocently Christian character. Alyosha is considered the wise and handsome monk, trying to implement Christian love. The narrator declares him as the true hero of the work, but everyone is more interested in the educated middle brother Ivan, and in my opinion, he is also the true hero of the work and the most important character in the novel. Like Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. Ivan Karamazov is considered very intellectual, non-religious, and considers himself an atheist, arguing that if there is no God and no immortality, then everything is permissible. And even if not everyone permits it, a person bears responsibility only for his actions, not for his desires. In the novel, it can be observed how the monk Alyosha clearly tries to approach his atheist brother Ivan, and attempts to engage with him in spiritual, religious, and philosophical discussions to understand what is going on inside his brother's mind and his way of thinking.
