Children In “The Brothers Karamazov Children in the Brothers Karamazov Children are portrayed in “The Brothers Karamazov” as being mistreated by adults and by God. Ivan, who is the most troubled by children’s sufferings, doesn’t want to forget them so he keeps articles about the misfortunes dealt upon children. The story also incorporates tales of children that are in the town, and surrounding areas, who become important to the plot of the story. By the end of the book Dostoevsky wants you to feel such grief and sadness for the children that it might even challenge your faith to God. The first child I will mention is discussed in the “Peasant Women Who Have Faith” chapter. A peasant woman goes to see Father Zosima because she has lost her son. The woman is very distraught and says that she left her husband and the rest of her family because she couldn’t take it anymore. This woman had already lost three other sons and just couldn’t stand to lose another. Father Zosima tells her a story about a saint who comforts a grieving mother, like herself, who had lost her only child. “Knowest thou not,” said the saint children, ivan, god, alyosha, should, child, father, little, zosima, it’s, suffering, says, doesn’t, because, understand, out, one, harmony, boy, tells, tears, story, again, suffer, life, just, he’s, good, cannot, book, about, woman, know, even, dmitri
