What leads us forward is the firm question - Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov"

The book "The Brothers Karamazov" is not easy to read, Toshi's wordy style is no small challenge to the impetuous heart, and the Irish film "National Guard" also warned -

"Don't read Russian stuff, they always go around half a day without focus."

"Wouldn't Dostoevsky do the same?"

"Yes, he's the worst."

Dostoevsky's novels, like those of other Russian writers, are very complex in content, and there is so much in them. It is not a simple novel, there is no rigorous story structure, and the author always expresses his views wantonly. From Turgenev and Tolstoy to Dostoevs and even Solzhenitsyn.

The same is true of "The Brothers Karamazov", which is a huge volume of more than a thousand pages in the above two volumes to dissect a vendetta within the family, which is Dostoevsky's favorite subject, starting from a social news that can be clearly explained by a newspaper that only needs hundreds of words, digging deep into the rich social and religious connotations of the story, and analyzing the psychology of the relevant characters in the story in detail, so as to express the author's own thoughts.

In the novel, the story, although quite attractive, becomes no longer important, but becomes a carrier for the author to expound his ideas, and the social background in the story and the ideas of its characters are the focus of the author's attention.

In the book, Toshi describes the interrelationship between the various characters in great detail, quite delicately depicts the psychology of several major characters, and shows what people think and think at that time through their mouths. In the portrayal of the character, the book is not very successful, and the personality of each character seems to be somewhat convergent.

In Toshi's pen, it seems that everyone is busy walking around, and everyone is in a state of hysteria. In particular, the youngest of them, Alyosha, is always running around among several characters, both as a microphone between the characters and like the eyes of the author, leading the reader to observe everything he wants to show.

The three Brothers Karamazov represent the human body, reason and spirit, respectively.

The spirit is like a lotus out of the mud, giving people a glimmer of hope and warmth in the thick darkness of the whole work, but in fact, in the whole process of the brewing, evolution and outbreak of the tragedy, this holy spiritual representative does not have any substantive deeds, I do not know whether this is the author's intentional hint, or the projection of reality in the work, in any case, this shows the powerlessness of the human spirit.

The representative of reason is clever and outstanding, but there are dirty fathers' genes, surrounded by rudeness, stupidity and treachery, and reason flows into the ditch of selfishness and eventually leads to madness.

The flesh, the most real existence, the strongest contradiction, in the representative of the flesh, the boss of the three brothers, people see a strong sense of sublime, blinding evil desires.

It is said that one can read Russians by reading Dostoevsky, and this work is Also Dostoevsky's most painstaking work. Russian culture often refers to itself as a two-headed eagle, which is full of conflicts between good and evil in people's hearts, and also faces the contradictions between Eastern and Western cultures, and the people in the works also experience the game of Christian doctrine and science and humanities.

The work is full of psychological situations such as masochism, "punishment as a means of escaping guilt", split personality, and it seems to be deliberately nested in a contrast, the lonely retired captain earns the old Karamazov's money and suffers shame, while his son looks at it, physically and mentally traumatized, and turns to hate and hurt others.

The various temperaments and behaviors of the Karamazov brothers today are largely attributable to the strange interactions with their fathers in childhood.

Finally the captain's son died in the care of those who loved him, and the retired captain showed intense grief; and the old Karamazov died in a strange struggle with his son.

The book leaves too many unfinished clues, fluttering, leading people to pursue, and there is nowhere to be traced. All that was not completed, with the death of Tovon, became a pity.

And the stories of these people who do not know the future are not only the stories of people, in this context, but also the stories of religion. They have different religious views, these different views, and they also guide their future directions.
