Ok. I had from everyone that Ivan's "The Grand Inquisitor" was gonna be intense but the lead up in this last chapter ('Rebellion") was intense enough. He has a lot of grievance with the world and now he will lay his whole polemic out. Credit to Alyosha to bearing it all so well for a novice monk. I was going to recap each chapter shortly but this chapter has me ready to finish the conversation between the brothers.

My God, what a way to end a novel. Well time to take a deep breath and say a few words on this masterpiece.

Okay so that is the prosecutions final statement. Note to self, Read Gogol's Dead Souls, It has been referenced more than any other book and Gogol more than any other author in this book. That is amazing considering F.D. tried mention everyone even Tolstoy! Oh now we move to the defense closing argument and I will start from reading from Chapter 11 and than skip to Chapter 14 and continue to the end.

Well you maybe in trouble when on trial your newly-deranged brother goes before the judge and tries to use the devil as a character witness to prove your innocence. It's like the story from this point is in a dramatic free fall of the absurd (and it is awesome).

Well I see where this case is headed. So right after the testimony by the two women fighting over you goes bad, the next person to testify is your brother who not only hates you, but is also in total psychosis and has no grip on reality as a whole. I see why the this new chapter is called 'A Sudden Catastrophe,' that's what I was thinking of the judicial system in this crazy village.

I am a little late. Well to update: Ivan has finally lost the last of his secular marbles, Alyosha is still the last sane man in town the actual murderer is dead, and Dimitri's trial begins. Keeping up With The Karamazovs.

Wow this part is just flying like crazy! Everything at once, I'm definitely got to remember all of this for the review. This book is judt so revelatory in a way (I do remeber at this point that the Greek word for revelation is apocalypse and this whole arc of this book from the time Aloyshna showed up through now with Ivan has been just that for me.

Wait…Leo Tolstoy was just mentioned by name. I don't know what to say about that and it is especially unfortunate that I can't mention the context as it is definitely spoiler material.
