Ok so late again but here is what i thought about Oats's analysis of the Brothers Karamazov... Although I had a hard time really understanding everything that she said about the development in the novel, because of course I have not read it all.(And was ridiculously wordy and i couldn't help but skipp over some parts) However, i did really like the way she mentioned how Dostoevski's writing is plain and the things that most authors usually elaborate on and "make pretty" he does not. The moral questions that Dostoevski raises seem to arouse from the simple thought of the narrator and/or the characters in their dialog. And then after he poses these questions he sort of leaves them for the reader to form an opinion on and then returns to his simple narration. This is one of the few stylistic things about Dostoevski's writing that I have noticed and appreciated so far.
