WHY TO WRITE YOUR THESIS ON бесы
A full summary, why to watch, why to read
________________
Key themes: love’s brutality, insanity, sin, revolution
Some notable quotes:
“The ceiling is painted there and they are all quarreling. It was strange.”
“There is no isolated sin.”
“It must be true that the whole second half of a man's life is most often made up only of habits accumulated during the first half.”
“Full freedom will come only when it makes no difference whether to live or not to live. That’s the goal for everyone.”
1. Nikolai Stavrogin
Easily one of the most controversial characters in history. His sins are, in short, so ugly that they are almost unbelievable. His mind often betrays him, and though he puts on a visage of collectedness he’s really completely lost. Need I say that Maxim could not have portrayed Nikolai better — his acting is impeccable.
2. Pyotr Stepanich
Such a beautifully horrific example of what becomes of the abused. That’s all I need to say.
3. Alexey Kirrilov
What one dies for will die with them. Such a beautiful soul, lost in the light, corrupted by malice and the need to prove a point.
4. Ivan Shatov
An epitome of mixed feelings, wasted potential, a good heart gone to depths too deep. The themes which go along with Shatov are betrayal, what happens if one does not speak their mind, loyalty, dedication, and wanting to escape one’s demons — i.e. how those demons continue to pull you back.
—————————
These are just the four mains. Dostoevsky touches on every possible subject concerning the heart and mind and how internal force either corrupts or saves the external. I could go on for centuries about how beautifully sinister this story is — how symbolic or pointless death can be, how love serves as something blatantly evil the majority of the time, and how catastrophic one idea can be. A revolution is never bloodless.
Here’s the link to watch the series (4 episodes, brilliantly done, although many have argued it’s not accurate to the book idc. I’m a pure a Dostoevsky fan and I think it’s a fantastic series.) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHQ6WQpa85Hc9SREL7P-qucP0GrLY9p9H

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.
I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.
These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.
I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.
My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️
