:::I also have doubts on ''The Brothers Karamazov''. Why can it be labeled as conservative? Isn't it almost blasphemous in some parts? It is a very vast, philosophical work which deals with many issues - there's faith, yes, but there's also doubt, folly, lust, hate... arguably Alexei is the best character in the novel, but can we really say that as a work, it promotes conservative, Christian ideas? In all his folly, Ivan's arguments do make sense, sometimes!

:::Thank you in advance if you will take the time to explain to me (and to everyone else who has doubts) your point of view. Everyone has a different brain and a different way of using it, and what seems "self-evident" to someone may seem untrue to someone else. Sharing ideas in a completely relaxed way, without any bias or hostility, is a very good way to progress on the path to truth! --[[User:MarcoT2|MarcoT2]] 14:29, 26 July 2010 (EDT)

I'm really not sure about this one. It's a great read, but I'm not sure about how a novel about a promiscuous mercenary assassin trying to kill a decorated war hero is a conservative novel. I could be wrong, but I always found it a fairly subversive book. --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 23:02, 21 September 2011 (EDT)
