Alyosha


My favorite character in the Brothers Karamazov is Alyosha I think. Alyosha is potrayed in a way that makes him look like somewhat of a pushover and somewhat of a generally good guy. He seems to have the ability to read people (somewhat) and counsel them in their times of need. A great example of this is when he talks to Koyla in a manner that is neither condescending nor lofty. In all of the scenarios throughout the novel in which Alyosha is providing counseling he appears to be genuine in his concern, however in some ways I feel as though he almost gets taken advantage of.
