Paper Idea

For my final paper, I want to write about the character Ivan Karamazov. I haven't devised an exact theseis, but I know that I want to examine Ivan's views about God, and look more into the chapter where he speaks about the torture of children and it's relation to his beliefs. Also, I want to examine how these beliefs affect him later on in the book when he goes insane and how that relates to his tragic downfall.
