"I fratelli Karamazov sono il romanzo più grandioso che mai sia stato scritto, (...) Non è certo un caso che tre capolavori di tutti i tempi trattino lo stesso tema, il parricidio: alludiamo all'Edipo re di Sofocle, all'Amleto di Shakespeare e ai Fratelli Karamazov di Dostoevskij. In tutte e tre le opere è messo a nudo anche il motivo del misfatto: la rivalità sessuale per il possesso della donna." (Sigmund Freud)

"Kara, in russo, significa 'castigo', 'punizione'; nelle lingue turco-tatare ha invece il significato di 'nero': un cuore oscuro, appesantito dalla colpa, che appartiene a tutti noi, costituisce il nucleo centrale dei Fratelli Karamazov, una delle opere fondamentali della letteratura moderna, un'opera a noi contemporanea nel senso più stretto della parola, perché Dostoevskij vi ha saputo raggiungere le profondità più intime della psiche umana, al di là degli impianti ideologici e degli intenti moraleggianti".
