Abstract:The search foraspiritualFather in the novel The Brothers Karamazov confirms the need of aFather for the whole society. In a broader sense, Father refers to a kind of spiritual belief and a sort of constraint from external social relationships and traditional moral standards. Dostoevsky peeps at the whole Russian society through the window of a small family. From Dmitri's final redemption to Ivan's conversion and to Alexei's religious belief, we have seen that the three brothers have all reached the same destination in different ways on the road of searching for aFather.
