‘The Brothers Karamazov‘ is Dostoevsky’s last
novel, and possibly his best. Representing a
culmination of his thoughts and ideas in their
most mature and final form, Dostoevsky weaves a
complex web of themes based around patricide,
with four children at the center of the drama. It
explores issues like passion, responsibility, the
justice of God, suffering, nihilism, and
many others. Dostoevsky spent nearly two years
writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was
published as a serial in The Russian Messenger
from January 1879 to November 1880.
The main character of the novel, Fyodor
Karamazov has a vulgar lifestyle. He had three
sons from different marriages. They reason of
their father’s heritage, while he is intended to
get married for the third time to a young fatal
beauty. By the morning, Fyodor Pavlovich was
found with his head fractured. The
investigation begins, and while it is on, a lot of
family secrets are being exposed

The main idea of the novel
The main idea of the novel “The brothers Karamazov” lies
in the fact, that despite all the depravity of the main
characters, the author believes that they can change. In
the author’s opinion, that only getting over one’s passions
and coming to a righteous life in harmony with The God
can help a person change.
The main idea of the novel becomes a phrase
by Ivan Karamazov “Happiness of the whole
world is not worthy of single a tear of an
innocent child”

Apart from it, Dostoyevsky
shows that despite all the
depravity and injustice of the
world, one can return to light
thanks to love and belief.
Another idea of the novel lies
in the fact, that there is no an
absolute evil, and there is
always something good to be
found in every person’s soul.

My favourite part of the books tells that people can’t comprehend freedom and always try to
escape it…
-The dialogue between The Pope and Jesus Christ takes place in
prison, the Pope says to Jesus Christ that people are not ready to
accept freedom.
-The Pope says that people are not able to
comprehend freedom, that people are afraid of
freedom. He says that there is nothing more
unbearable for people and society than freedom.
-The Pope says that he denies the idea of
freedom for the sake oh people’s happiness,
additionally, he says that people eagerly do it
themselves.

Personally, I like the novel, to my mind it is rife with wise thoughts and
ideas. It reveals both disgrace, despair, vulgarity, vulnerability and
depravity of people. Apart from it, it reveals people’s deeper feelings,
sadness, anxieties and disappointments…
I like the idea, that all people have chance to change and live
happily, Dostoyevsky believes that everyone has a right for
love and forgiveness
