Essay Question for All Students Who Select This Option:
In a coherent, detailed, persuasive analytical essay citing specific passages in the novel, assess whether Fyodor Dostoevsky’s innovative use of the “polyphonic” structure for his last novel, The Brothers Karamazov, facilitated or hindered his presentation of these three “antinomies” or “meta-themes” in the novel:
1. Human freedom vs. human happiness
2. Good vs. evil
3. Universal forgiveness vs. non-forgiveness
Be sure to focus on how Dostoevsky expressed his personal religious views (i.e., Russian Orthodox Christianity) through the setting, major characters, plot, and the three “meta-themes” above in this polyphonic novel.
