Fyodor Karamazov is a greedy and dissolute father to three very different sons: the passionate Dmitri, the intellectual Ivan and the novice monk Alyosha. When the father is murdered, suspicion falls on Dmitri, and the trial forces each brother to account for what he believes.
Dostoyevsky’s last and largest novel contains the Grand Inquisitor chapter, often read on its own as one of the most searching passages ever written on freedom, authority and belief.
- How the three brothers embody competing answers, appetite, intellect and faith, to the same inherited problem.
- What the Grand Inquisitor argues about freedom, and why people might prefer authority to it.
- Ivan’s case against a world that permits the suffering of children, stated at full strength.
- Why the question of who killed the father is less important than who is responsible.
- How Zosima’s teaching answers Ivan, not by argument but by a different way of living.
- Why Dostoyevsky gives the strongest objections to belief to his unbeliever.
