    Default Brothers Karamazov + Crime & Punishment (characters' types)

    Has anyone read these books (by Dostoevsky) recently enough to type the characters in them? I've found Dostoevsky was very consistent with most of his characters and he seemed to develop certain 'archetypes' throughout his works (i.e. Ivan and Raskolnikov were both based on the same archetype) This is what I've made of it:

    BROTHERS KARAMAZOV
    -----------------------
    Alyosha (Alexei Karamazov), the mystic: INFp
    Vanya (Ivan Karamazov), the intellectual: INTp
    Mitya (Dmitry Karamazov), the sensualist: ExFp
    Smerdyakov, the cunning bastard child: ISTp
    (lol I stole those descriptions from the back of the book)
    Mr. Karamazov: ENFp ?
    Gregory: ISFj
    Katerina: ESTx
    Grushenka: ESTp
    Kalganov: INFp
    Kolya: ENTj
    Perkhotin: ESTj/ISTj
    Zosima: INFj


    CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
    --------------------------
    Raskolnikov: INTp
    Raskolnikov's sister: INFp
    Sonia: ISFj
    Razumihin: ESFp/ESTp
    Marmeladov: ESFp
    Katerina: ESTp
    Svidrigailov: ENFp
    Luzchin: ESTj
    Pulcheria: ISFp
    Porfiry: ENTj
    Lizaveta: INFj

    notes:

    Ep+Ep relationships seem to happen a lot (Grushenka+Dmitry, Katerina+Marmeladov) and always crash causing heavy damage

    Raskolnikov was unimpressed by his sister's ESTj suitor(Luszkin, his supervisee) and ended up hooking up his sister(INFp) with his best friend Razumihin (ESTp) lol, and it worked
