First of all, this book is extremely boring. It sounds like one big rant.I did not care for how the book opens up and how the characters are developed. So hard to read because it's so boring!!! If you dont think its boring, please tell me why.
Fyodor - Obviously, he is an idiot and a little screwed up in the head. Marries someone he doesnt love, probably for money, and then b*tches and moans to her at every chance he gets. Orgies, making fun of himself, and drunken laughter? Not caring for his little son. People like this should be DENIED the right to have children. Then remarries...and, you all know the rest. TOTAL LOSER!
Mitya/Dimitry - Totally my favorite brother. Starts off with a ruff childhood, ignored by his father, dead mother. Moves around alot, joins military. Gets demoted for fighting/dueling, gets promoted for gallantry. Lives a reckless, irressonsible, violent, passionate, impatient life. Assumes that he is going to get a huge inheritance ((pretty much gain power)), then gets blindsided by the fact he's barely getting squat.
Ivan - Supposedly smart, intelligent, and hard working. Writes books...obviously the smart brother.
Alexei/alyosha - dont like him, unlike most of you, who love him the most. He doesnt talk much, and he doesnt take chances. He also doesnt judge others or condemn others. He places too much trust in human beings and fails to realize some things that people do deserve condemntion. He can't handle simple language that might be obscene. Money is meaningless to him, which is foolish and proves he knows nothing of the real world, only some fairytail reality he is living in. Decides to be a monk, guess that suites him. Sorry i dont like him yet..lol.
