"That it Should Come to This..."
By the way, it would be really very dreadful if I went on DF as Ivan's devil. Yes. Which is why I won't.
Bed!
...Ivan's devil would be such a glorious contrast to all the other demons there, though. He's so--well, as I told Kali, he's like Stock and Florian combined, he's magnificent.
On the other hand, the fact that I can write neither Stock nor Florian ought to be adequate justification for not taking him. La. There we go.
BED.

But, you know, I really don't agree with that. I think Ivan's devil can't be Smerdyakov because he's just at an entirely different place. Perhaps Ivan has conjured him (although I'd like to think he was real enough, in a way), but I suppose at most I would think he was vaguely influenced by Smerdyakov--but he's really more Ivan that Smerdyakov. He's Ivan's devil, and he's like Ivan, just as Ivan says.
*blushes and ducks* I mean, that's what I think.

I can totally see all the logic in what you're say. I do love Ivan's devil and Ivan's reactions to him so much. If there was only one possibly interpretation of this, The Brothers Karamazov would be a pretty boring book.

^_^ That's very true!
