  • Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov (Russian: Алёша Карамазов), usually referred to simply as Alyosha, is the protagonist in the 1880 novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. He is the youngest of the Karamazov brothers, being nineteen years old at the start of the novel. The preface and the opening chapter proclaim him as the hero. Dostoevsky intended to write a sequel, which would detail the rest of Alyosha's life, but died shortly after the publication of The Brothers Karamazov. At the outset of the story Alyosha is a novice in the local monastery. In this way Alyosha's beliefs act as a counterbalance to his brother Ivan's atheism. He is sent out into the world by his Elder and subsequently becomes embroiled in the sordid details of his family's life. He becomes involved with, and later engaged to, a young girl named Liza (or Lise) Khokhlakov, daughter to a confidante of Katerina Ivanovna's. Later on in the novel, Lise sinks into depression and self-hatred, spurning her lover and crushing her finger in a door. Alyosha is also involved in a side story in which he befriends a group of school boys whose fate adds a hopeful message to the conclusion of an otherwise tragic novel. Alyosha's place in the novel is usually that of a messenger or witness to the actions of his brothers and others. He is very close to Dmitri. Alyosha is depicted as a positive character, kind, loving and sensitive. Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka states that Alyosha, like Prince Myshkin, the protagonist in another Dostoyevsky novel, The Idiot, are almost Jesus-like characters, who are nevertheless unable to prevent the suffering of those around them. She suggests that as a witness or messenger, Alyosha is not a true moral agent, playing a passive role in the events of the novel. states that Alyosha Karamazov is a more robust positive hero than Prince Myshkin. He describes Alyosha as relying on forgiveness, kindness and natural justice, rather than attempting to change the social order. (en)
  • Alexeï Karamazov ou Alexeï Fiodorovitch Karamazov (diminutifs : Aliocha, Aliochka, Aliochenka, Alexis) (en russe : : Алексе́й Фёдорович Карама́зов) est un personnage du roman de Fiodor Dostoïevski, Les Frères Karamazov. C'est le fils de Fiodor Karamazov, le frère cadet de Dmitri Karamazov et d'Ivan Karamazov. Dans la préface du roman Les Frères Karamazov, Dostoïevski écrit qu'il commence la biographie du plus jeune des frères Karamazov, et en parle comme d'un protagoniste , d'un héros. Mais il n'est pas seul. Le père Zosime est aussi un héros. Dostoïevski avait l'intention d'écrire une suite à ce roman, dans laquelle Alexeï deviendrait le personnage principal. Il n'en a pas eu le temps, puisqu'il meurt peu après avoir achevé le premier roman. (fr)
