The aim of this thesis is to present the concept of freedom in the novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. First, the discussion focuses on the author himself, one of the greatest writers of all time, and his body of work. Through the portrayal of freedom, it is explored how certain philosophers perceive freedom, and how for Dostoevsky, freedom is a central theme closely tied to the theme of evil. Good and evil are considered to be the offspring of freedom, as people are free to make their own choices. Without choice, there would be no freedom. Freedom can be seen as negative and positive. Freedom understood as a burden, obligation, the inability to deal with our choices, represents the negative concept of freedom. On the other hand, the positive concept of freedom is the conscius acceptance of one’s choices and decisions. This type of freedom is directed towards certain values and includes the knowledge of good. Ivan Karamazov can be considered a representative of the negative view of freedom, as this kind of freedom leads him to evil and crime. His brother, Alyosha Karamazov, is aware that freedom is necessary for human dignity and acts accordingly, directing himself toward values that lead to good. It is throught the conversation between these two, who represent opposites, that the topic of suffering, freedom, and God are brought into discussion.
