Was fyodor karamozov really all that bad? It seems to me that

Yes, he raped a retarded girl who then died giving birth to his child.

His character is solipsistically egoistic and self-indulgent, in fact he's such a cancer on his family that only one out of his four children does not want him dead. He's hurt and rightly so, if he's not a bad character then bad characters don't exist.

Bad people can be hurt too

Smerdiakov was the true villiain

Not really. He was a bastard son and his dad didn't even openly acknowledge him. Plus the fact that he hung himself was also redeeming.

He's pretty self-aware at least, and not such a buffoon as he lets on. He's still an awful man though, the circumstances of Smerdyakov's birth being a pretty obvious example as the poster above mentioned.

Like killing animals, narcissistic, hate people, sly. He is bad and it's a sociopath
