i'm pretty sure there are articles/essays written about this already, but i really want to write about and touch on the "fatherless" motif (whether that be in the form of loss from death, negligence, absence, etc.) that dostoevsky uses for most of his characters with some elements of astrology (because i've seen dostoevsky's chart)

#like... i just girlmathed all four charts of the karamazov brothers #one way or another they have some kind of father wound existing in their charts #also stavrogin and freaking VERKHOVENSKY #and of course... my favorite princess with 50 mental illnesses...#raskolnikov <33 #shut up rin #fyodor dostoevsky #crime and punishment #rodion romanovich raskolnikov #the brothers karamazov #dmitri fyodorovich karamazov #ivan fyodorovich karamazov #alexei fyodorovich karamazov #pavel fyodorovich smerdyakov #demons #the possessed #nikolai vsevolodovich stavrogin #pyotr stepanovich verkhovensky
