The whole Grand Inquisitor passage feels really profane to me.

Is Father Zossima ever gonna die? Totally kidding but seriously he’s been dying for almost half the book.

Alyosha, you poor, sweet child.

I love how Dostoevsky pulls off both being a genuine Christian but also subjecting its practices to scrutiny. Seems like he really wrestled with his faith in a quest for truth.

Interesting how Fyodor, one of the most repugnant characters in all literature, shares a first name with the author.

The whole Russian Elders thing is a fascinating study in mob-religious psychology.

Wow, this family hella messed up.
