Fyodor:
Fyodor is the father of Alyosha, Ivan, and Dmitry. He is not affectionate, not only towards them, but towards most things, often forgetting what child belongs to which mother. Fyodor seems out to get what he wants and will not stop pursuing what he wants despite the outcome. Fyodor in addition to being selfish seems unsophisticated, and it would seem unwholesome. His only aspiration is to be successful thus resulting in greediness.
Dmitry:
Dmitry is a very easily swayed person. He is the eldest son of Fyodor and is carried away by his passions. Once, not caring about Fyodor, he now assumes that he owes him a significant amount of money. He seems to go where he can make things easier on himself and get what he wants, or at least try, faster.
Ivan:
Ivan is the middle son and seems to completlely contrats his brothers. He is the extreme of what they are not. He is very intelligent and loving. He finds pleasure in doing good. Ivan seems to know there is more to life that what appears on the surface and he is eager to find out what.
Alyosha:
Alyosha is the younger of his three brothers and has a love for God which cannot be matched within his family. This love translates into loving other people as well. He seems to take time to understand and love others. Thus, he is the exact opposite of his vulgar dad.
Interaction with a character:
If I met with Alyosha my experience would be interesting, to say the least. I would be most eager to meet with Alyosha because he seems to be the type of person one should want to be! I think this would be interesting because Alyosha and I are not alike in anyway, except one, we both share a passion for God. However, Alyosha's love for people are "man-kind," if you will, seems to be too large and too frustrating to have. I would like to understand his mindset and understand where Alyosha is coming from.
