Three brothers, the soldier Dimitri, the novice Alexej and the intellectual Ivan are in a quarrel with their immoral father Fyodor. Another possible brother, Smerdyakov, is employed by the father as a servant. Dimitri is at odds with his father over an inheritance he is entitled to and the rivalry over Gruschenka. Dimitri assaults his father, and when Fyodor Karamazov is found murdered shortly afterwards and 3,000 rubles have been stolen, Dimitri is suspected. In the trial, all evidence speaks against him and he is sentenced to deportation to Siberia. However, the act was committed by Smerdjakov, who wanted to win the affection of Ivan with it.
