The Grand Inquisitor is a poem that can be found in The Karamazov Brothers, a book written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. In the copy that I have the poem starts on page 269. The Karamazov Brothers is a beautifully written book. Its main story is remarkably interesting, it depicts the story of three brothers: Dmitri, Ivan and Alyosha. Their father has been violently murdered, and the reader will be wondering throughout most of the book which of the brothers is the guilty one.
The three brothers differ widely from eachother. Each of them has a vastly different character and differ in their religious and philosophical viewpoints. Dmitri is passionate and impulsive, Ivan is intellectual and sceptic, and Alyosha is a deeply religious monk. These varying viewpoints lead to interesting conversations between the brothers throughout the book. The Grand Inquisitor is a poem written by Ivan, who tells it to Alyosha, who is the first person to hear the poem.
