We should all read Brothers Karamazov at least once, but maybe once suffices. On the other hand, we can easily resort to the crux of the book: The Grand Inquisitor chapter. Here is an excerpt from the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky:
For in these three questions all of subsequent human history is as if brought together into a single whole and foretold; three images are revealed that will take in all the insoluble historical contradictions of human nature over all the earth. This could not have been seen so well at the time, for the future was unknown, but now that fifteen centuries have gone by, we can see that in these three questions everything was so precisely divined and foretold, and has proved so completely true, that to add to them or subtract anything from them is impossible.The unparagraphed text runs on for intimidating pages, but we have here the heart of the matter. Dostoevsky has the cynical Ivan confront the faithful Alyosha with a “poem” about Christ appearing in Inquisitorial Spain and being taken before the Grand Inquisitor who presents this case against him. It is the author’s great insight that the singular objection raised against God is the unbearable burden of the gift of free will. For while we know in our heads that we should always freely choose the perfect good, our fallible mortal nature leads us all too often to choose evil. This fundamental contradiction is the human dilemma and some would rather damn God for creating us creatures that have to live it out than celebrate Him for the generosity that permits the epic struggle. Nor should we overmuch blame those who curse this gift, for it took even God Himself some time to appreciate the task He had laid before us. We disappointed Him from the moment we rebelled in the Garden and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, to the point where He came close to destroying all of Creation in the Flood. Ultimately, He made the ultimate sacrifice and became Man in an attempt to understand our behavior. But then He despaired on the Cross–"Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" ("My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")--and became reconciled to us. Yet He still did not deprive us of free will, did He? He simply chose to love us despite our inability to use our freedom perfectly. He accepted our imperfection. It is we who have been unable to do so. [At the very least, watch the televised adaptation from 1975, starring John Geilgud, with its devastating final scene, which Alyosha repeats in the novel.] (Reviewed:) Grade: (A+) Tweet Websites:-Fyodor (Mikhaylovich) Dostoevsky (1821-1881) (kirjasto) -Fyodor Dostoevsky (Wes Marlan, FyodorDostoevsky.com ) -FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY (1821-1881) (Guardian) -Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881) (little blue light) -Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881) (the Internet Public Library Online Literary Criticism Collection) -Fyodor Dostoevsky (Wikipedia) -CARICATURE: Fyodor Dostoevsky (David Levine, NY Review of Books) -International Dostoevsky Society -ETEXT: Notes from the Underground -ETEXT: Crime and Punishment -ETEXTS: Works by Fyodor Dostoevsky (CCEL) -AUDIO STORY: The Dream Of A Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (read by Trey Downey, 30 June 2023, the Greeat Stories) -PODCAST: Sacred and Profane Love Episode 2: Doestoevsky and Transfiguring Love (Sacred and Profane Love, 22 April 2019) -VIDEO: The Grand Inquisitor - John Gielgud (A rare version 1975 of The Grand Inquisitor from Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov produced by the Open University.) -PODCAST: How Dostoevsky’s Exile in Siberia Led to Four of the Greatest Novels in Literature: Kevin Birmingham Guests on the Book Dreams Podcast (Book Dreams, April 14, 2022) -ESSAY: “The Crocodile,” Dostoevsky’s Weirdest Short Story: Why being eaten by a crocodile named Little Karl is really a lesson in the dangers of foreign capital.

(Mihail Neamtu, 3/03/23, Law & Liberty) The Spanish Inquisition represents the institutionalization of this perennial temptation, whereby people voluntarily surrender their real freedoms for the delusional benefits of being protected by the state. Dostoevsky is warning against the dangers of giving up one’s individual sense of freedom for the sake of social acceptance and physical security, as this can lead to the loss of one’s human dignity and the enslavement of people. -ESSAY: Dostoevsky: Freedom, Evil, and the Existence of God (Richard Cocks, 5/27/20, Voegelin View) The dignity of man and the source of his intrinsic worth is to be found in the fact that he is made in the image of God. The way in which man is an image of God is in his freedom – an unknowable infinity lying within his breast – the same infinity associated with God. This freedom is a burden that most people would rather do without. The Grand Inquisitor remonstrates with Jesus, saying that only the strong can bear the weight of freedom and thus that freedom is a most terrible thing that makes people accountable for their actions and requires too much of them. People just want bread, peaceable relations with their neighbors, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of a happy existence in this life and the next. The Grand Inquisitor offers all of that. He and his cronies will take control of the bread supplies, not baking it themselves, but distributing it equitably because he knows we are incapable of doing this ourselves. He will take our confessions and absolve us of sin to relieve our groaning consciences, and will lyingly promise an afterlife, when, of course, the Grand Inquisitor represents a complete rejection of Christianity and the dignity of man. He will enslave the population and lie to them and they will be grateful and praise him as their savior. Freedom is a burden. It is aristocratic, not democratic. -ESSAY: The Problem of Theocracy in The Brothers Karamazov (Elayne Allen, 8/15/18, Voegelin View) -REVIEW: of Giving the Devil His Due: Demonic Authority in the Fiction of Flannery O’Connor and Fyodor Dostoevsky by Jessica Hooten Wilson (Charles R.
