Ivan is so appalled by the injustice of our suffering world that he offers an alternative through the Legend of the Grand Inquisitor.  How does Ivan suggest that the problem of suffering could be alleviated through the Grand Inquisitor and the priests of the church?
That people shouldn't have a choice and to give them security and freedom instead.

The Grand Inquisitor believes that Jesus does not understand human  beings.  Explain Jesus'  "misunderstanding."
That he gives them the wrong freedoms. Instead of letting them choose basically they should be given no choice.

How does the Grand Inquisitor suggest that the church can relieve the human's "burden of freedom"? By changing their choice of freedom.

 Why is suffering the price of freedom?  Because you have to go through many trials or troubles sometimes to gain what you want or to be able to do what you want.
