The Karamazov Brothers
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I love this novel so much. I love the way Dostoevsky created a complex and interesting character. Let's say like Dmitri, the oldest, who is the same as his father, as a sensualist. He copied his father in order to be a hedonist. He seems a pure evil character who is arrogant and reckless. Ivan, the middle son, who has deep philosophical thoughts and questions about morality and the existence of God. Lastly, Alyosha, the youngest who became a monk. He was a good, pure, and naive one.
It was written in a beautiful way. It showed the complexity of humans. The characters are not just between good and evil or black and white, but grey ones. Even Alyosha can also be tempted by sin.
Then, my unpopular opinion about this book: none of the characters are the main characters. I think the novel has multiple main characters who have their part in the story. They are interesting in their own ways. I can say that this novel is centered on the Karamazov family with various characters. At first, I thought Alyosha was the main character. But, when it turned to the second half, Dmitri became the most interesting one.
