Is this a troll chart?

>>8684649
I sure hope so, the whole chart is total pleb baby crap.

>>8684655

It's in the sticky. I guess it's out dated

It's for plebs just getting into reading. That's what "starter kit" means.

>>8684621
It's a novel, not a treatise. The ideas underneath move the plot but it's still a story.

>>8684684

It's not for plebs to get into reading. If they want to read, they can just pick up whatever books they want. The chart is for getting into /lit/erature. It's supposed to be accessible stories which are complex enough to exercise your (supposedly weak, since it's for beginners) literary analysis skills. It's meant to create an introduction to reading for and thinking about themes, symbolism, character development, and style.

you are right though, those are not very 'the classics', not the very refined and dignified

Stick with it mate, there's quite a bit of exposition and the philosophical themes grow with the novel. You also have to examine them yourself in the actions of characters.

Philosophies are often in the form of soliloquies from various characters. Mostly
Raskolnikov speaking to Sonia
Porfiry(mostly in the end)
Peter
Raskolnikov's mother
Svidrigailov
Sonia's character and Razumikhin's character

Also focus on the relationship between Raskolnikov, Svidrigailov, and Peter. Now how they interact with each other, but as characters. They are reflections of each other with variations in their philosophies

Thanks man, I'll be sure to keep all this in mind while reading

>>8684621
This book saved my life.

>>8684736
I was about to get triggered but you didn't mention Lolita, Invisible Man or Siddhartha.Then I realized you probably haven't read them. Then I got triggered because you're a pleb.

>>8684621
I guess you don't understand the function of fiction.

The point in showing over telling is that expessing an idea through character interaction/reaction is much more organic than feeding you a bunch circle-jerk spoonfed ideology and exposition.
