i’ve been waiting for mityas trial forever, BUT, “the devil” chapter is genius. ivan is just so interesting (it’s always interesting to talk with an intelligent man!) like this whole chapter is just him wrestling with his subconscious. it reminds me of that young sheldon episode when sheldon’s getting a tooth pulled and solves the unified field theory and wakes up and doesn’t remember how he did it.

finally getting to the good stuff. i think ivan is my favorite brother so far. mitya’s going insane & alyosha is kind—he reminds me of pierre from war & peace. the grand inquisitor was food for thought. i liked that bit.

on my russian lit grind i guess. about a quarter of the way through and im liking it so far. not quite sure how to feel about the characters yet but i like alexei and grigory.
