A Structural Analysis of The Brothers Karamazov

Bruckner, Karen Lindsey 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to reveal the structural unity of The Brothers Karamazov through the isolation and analyzation of the various techniques used by Dostoyevsky to unify the novel. In order to retain more than a few impressions and remembrances of outstanding events, in order to retain the novel itself, the reader needs to be aware of the structure of the work. If the fullest realization of the novel depends upon the reader's perception of its structure, the structure becomes the important critical element.

Revolutionary self-fulfilment? : individual radicalisation and terrorism in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from underground, Crime and punishment and The devils

Ceccarelli, Marco January 2009 (has links)
This thesis analyses Fyodor Dostoyevsky's discussion of individual radicalisation and terrorism in three of his major novels: Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment and The Devils. Whilst the issues of radical ideology and terrorism have often been independently discussed by Dostoyevsky scholars, little attention has been devoted to the study of the process of radicalisation undergone by Dostoyevsky's protagonists, whereby the extreme fulfilment of radical ideals culminates in political violence. This investigation traces the evolution of Dostoyevsky's individual in the context of the radically changing socio-political environment of nineteenth-century Russia. The development of this individual will be examined throughout the novels as he initially questions, and is hostile to, radical ideology, gradually embraces its tenets and tests its validity through the use of violence and eventually engages in terrorist activity. Dostoyevsky felt himself impotent in the face of the gradual assimilation of utilitarian, materialistic and nihilist ideals by the new generation of Russian intellectuals. In the emulation of Western revolutionary culture, he came to see a threat to Russian nationhood, to true Russian identity and to traditional Russian values such as Orthodox Christianity. In his novels he sought to examine and question the ideologies of leading theorists influenced by Western radical thought; ideologies that he believed were flawed, deceptive and contradictory. This study focuses on the development of the themes of radicalisation and terrorism in the three chosen novels. Emphasis is laid on the devastating impact of radical ideology and terrorist activity on the individual.

Du désespoir au prêche : parcours ridicule d'un homme repentant : l'existentialisme chrétien chez Fédor Dostoïevski : lecture du Rêve d'un homme ridicule

Chevrette, Éric January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Le présent mémoire propose de se pencher sur une nouvelle peu étudiée du romancier russe Fédor Dostoïevski, Le rêve d'un homme ridicule, publiée en 1877 soit quatre ans avant sa mort. Même si les théoriciens et critiques ont souvent passé ce récit sous silence, nous croyons fermement que cette nouvelle présente des aspects non-négligeables pour la compréhension des développements de l'oeuvre dostoïevskienne. Le personnage principal (lequel joue également le rôle de narrateur) y arbore en effet de nombreux traits de caractères qui représentent autant de figures phares de l'architecture romanesque de l'auteur: l'orgueil et la folie des grandeurs, mais aussi le besoin de l'autre et la soif de repentir. Ces différents traits de caractères ont certes été mis en scène dans ses grands romans, mais nulle part autant qu'ici se trouvent-ils aussi concentrés dans un seul personnage. Notre travail s'articulera autour des deux pôles que sont le désespoir (manifesté par l'orgueil et le nihilisme) et la béatification (présentée sous forme de prêche salvateur). Le passage de l'un à l'autre nous sera particulièrement intéressant, puisque malgré tous les changements montrés en apparence, l'homme ridicule demeure profondément le même, fidèle à sa vraie nature. Et cette transformation de la surface s'effectuera grâce à une prise en charge de son potentiel de parole -lui qui jadis se confinait à un mutisme quasi complet. Les oeuvres des philosophes Søren Kierkegaard et Friedrich Nietzsche seront particulièrement utiles dans l'élaboration de notre réflexion. Elles permettront en effet de donner une teneur théorique solide à notre analyse, le premier par son questionnement sur le désespoir et le second par sa conception du surhomme (et son pendant négatif le sous-homme). Ce sont là les deux points majeurs de la dualité qui habite le personnage. Nous tenterons essentiellement de montrer que, malgré tous ces changements apparents, celui-ci demeure ridicule. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Dostoïevski, Péché, Ridicule, Désespoir, Surhomme.
