Brothers Karamazov, which character are you?

Which character are you?

I swing between Alyosha or Alexei and Ivanya.

Who remembers Fyodor wrote an entire book, in Brothers, called Lacerations?

The Grand Inquisitor Book is actually quite interesting though.

Quote:

"Take it as the last," said Ivan, laughing, "if you are so
corrupted by modern realism and can't stand anything fantastic. If you
like it to be a case of mistaken identity, let it be so. It is
true," he went on, laughing, "the old man was ninety, and he might
well be crazy over his set idea. He might have been struck by the
appearance of the Prisoner. It might, in fact, be simply his
ravings, the delusion of an old man of ninety, over-excited by the
auto da fe of a hundred heretics the day before. But does it matter to
us after all whether it was a mistake of identity or a wild fantasy?
All that matters is that the old man should speak out, that he
should speak openly of what he has thought in silence for ninety
years."

I had a BYU prof who made us read Brothers Karamoazov as part of our Book of Mormon class. Sadly, I don't remember much from it.

You can read a version online.

A cliff's notes version? That's what I need.

here's the version, I'm reading again.
