Devilish sons of a devilish father, the Karamazov brothers collectively express the multifaceted nature of the human soul as each of them represents one of the forces or tendencies that define it.
Thus, the schemer Ivan is the cold and emotionless logic, the hedonistic Dmitri is the unrestrained passion, the religiously obsessed Alyosha represents the unreflective surrender to the most absolute metaphysics, and the terrifying illegitimate son Smerdyakov embodies all the dark and dreadful desires that we all carry in our subconscious.
Under these circumstances, the murder of father Karamazov takes on the dimensions of a ritual execution, and although the formal murderer is only Dmitri, the knife with which he struck had been sharpened by all of them.
Therefore, the noose of the gallows that awaits him will strangle together with him all the others.
