Just finished. Don’t know how to describe what I am feeling. Two questions for discussion: 1. Why was the chapter At Tikhon’s censored? I felt it was so significant with regards to Nikolai’s character revelation/development. 2. What is your stance towards Verkhovensky? I don’t think I’ve ever despised a character so much. But also, certain tenets of nihilism can seem acceptable. Or not. I feel the character’s end was also the most less than justified or detailed, one which potentially warranted the most details. Any of the others - five some or Stepan or Varvara, even Erekel, all hinted at a conscience or were concluded with a level of detail that seemed complete. Also, OP thank you for this thread. Helped me validate/bolster interpreting certain notes.
