Tolstoy is better than Dostoevsky

This.

memes that come out of twitter are fucking garbage

the whole website is garbage and you have to be genuinely mentally ill to be "good at it"

Nietzsche and Stirner don't really have that much in common.

What's a corncobber.

Nobody knows. It's just a meme word all the cool kids on Veeky Forums use.

If there is no order and only inanity, and all preferences are equal, what's the purpose of discussing it at all except to upset other people?

Are you just trying to upset me? Are you just an upsetter?

Why, I am now quite upset. Gosh.

No? It's the criticism (corncobby chronicles) Nabokov used on Faulkner. Corncobby refers to the provincial writing.
Being ignorant doesn't make you better than other people.

Well someone has to be better, or else what's the point of knowing anything? Just prolonging existence.

you need to go back

Would you have bothered to post the explanation if he hadn't posted the incorrect one?

Gogol>Tolstoy>>>>>>>Dostoevsky

Dostoievsky wrote the sickest dialogues, but Tolstoy didn't use the same characters in all of his books.

Raskolnikov=Ivan Karamazov
Marmeladov=Theodore Karamazov
Myshkin= Alexei Karamasov

You know it's true

>Theodore

>Fyodor

It still amuses me that people think that they're similar. They only appear similar at the surface level. They're polar opposites when you dig down to the root of it. Stirner embraces Nihilism while Nietzsche rejects it.

Tolstoy is far better because he recognized the problem with atheism [nihilism] and followed through on Christian convictions where Dostoevsky just whined about the problems atheism would cause.

>He thinks Stirner embraces nihilism

thats because all preferences are equal and only ones triggered by that fact are the pseudointellectuals who only read """real literature"""

heh kid

Does Tolstoy also start his books with 200 pages of introductions and exposition? That's why I hate Dostoevsky personally; it's boring as fuck.

That's a pretty facile comparison
Who would Shatov be? The underground man?
Ivan and raskolnikov aren't even that similar

what is it about a closed fist that encapsulates all of our hate, anger and frsutration, primal contraction of wrath

trying too hard to look smart there laddie

Both represent the 'intelligentsia' at the time and are portrayed as misanthropists with revolutionary ideals. Though Rodia got his redemption in the end, whereas Ivan most likely died. Maybe it would have been better to say Fyodor uses archetypes

You mean why it is the crystalization of those things, or why should it be?

raskolnikov is far different from Ivan. He's in complete hysterics for the first half of the book. I havent read TBK in awhile but i rememer Ivan being rather cool-headed and calculating.

>Raskolnikov = Ivan K.
No. Raskolnikov was a young idealistic law student, who had high dreams and therefore killed someone because he felt it was an easy way out. Ivan was a successful writer influenced by the European ideals who happened to be mentally ill and started to feel guilty of a crime he didn't commit due to his "encounters" with the "Devil". Both are completely different and only share one trait: ambition. Ivan was cool headed, intelligent, pretentious and well-mannered. Raskolnikov was a epileptic, desperate and a weak coward.

>Marmeladov = Fyodor Karamazov
I'm not going to put much effort on this comparison because it's obviously bs. One is a drunkard who never managed to be successful in life while the other married many pretty cutes and got wealthy af.

>Myshkin = Alyosha
They're pretty close but I wouldn't say that they're the same. Myshkin is way more active and better than Alyosha, desu.

P.S: Don't comment if you haven't read the books, poser

they both suck and tell it rather than show it

desu they both suck- bulgavok and pushkin have more challenging/beautiful prose

that is why there's fewer translations of their work

If you're reading translations forget about prose

>Stirner embraces Nihilism
Nice spooks.

not critiquing the authors regarding their translations- thankfully i don't have to resort to them :^)

kys, pleb- etc.

This is why Putin wants Ukraine

>Does Tolstoy also start his books with 200 pages of introductions and exposition?
Uh, yeah; moreso than Dostoyevsky does

>about prose
Poetry, you mean

There's nothing except bears, vodka and shitty authors, yap.

he is tho

OK fuck that shit lol

Haven't you read any Dostoievsky? Rodia, Ivan, or Kirilov are the atheist thoughts he tries to concile. Anastasia and Grushenka, modeled after his waifu Polina Suslova. Marmeladov, Fyodor Karamazov, Gania's father are sad old drunkards, product of Dosto's self awareness.

My favorite is Ragojine, actually

Nobody says this
