My essay below is my commentary piece on The Brothers Karamazov’s chapter 5, “The Grand Inquisitor” written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I chose this particular piece because despite it being another old, huge book, it caught my attention. The book answers what the author believes human nature to be which is good. I am skeptical of human nature, but want to be enlightened like him.
Dr. Mester was a guest speaker for the class, he touched important aspects that stuck to me like human nature and the importance of curiosity. He believes that all humans are naturally good people with good intentions, but are just fragile. His methods do not involve punishment, but building people up. I plan on contacting him soon to learn more.
Overall, this class has been my favorite by far. I love the discussions and just listening to new ideas. Professor Soder's class has taught me that learning is not about rushing, about the grade and to be informed. We learned about what counsel to take in, what to be aware of, and how important words are when approaching an audience.
