Raskomysh Propagandist

🩵Smerdyakov being Patience is probably the most obvious one, so it won't need much explanation. Smerdyakov is discreet, quiet, assumed to be hard-working and honest by his master. He's a schemer waiting for the perfect moment to act, after working every day of his life.

🧡 Mitya as Bravery is another obvious one. He throws himself into everything he does, whether it leads him to shame or joy. He's frantic, going from one idea to the next and being led by his heart and his gut. He's also very easy to provoke. People around him see it as foolishness and madness, but he has immense potential to confront difficult circumstances and choose life without hesitation. He has ceased to try to "figure out" the world, what matters to him is what path to run to next.

💙 At first, I wasn't sure about Katerina as Integrity, because whether she has integrity or not is still highly debated. However, I'm not assigning the souls from personality traits, but from how they act in relation to the world. Integrity's "original style" seems to fit how Katerina seemingly tries to defy fate in order to do things her own way, to carry her own ideas of duty to their very end. On the outside, she seems like a respectable young lady, but she often defies social convention like a Romantic heroine, all in the name of sacrifice chosen by herself.

💜 Grushenka as Perseverance also relates to how she does things rather than an obvious connection to her personality traits. Grushenka has been in a precarious position in society since she was young. She has found herself impoverished, abandoned, scorned and exploited, and yet she found her ways to use the little power she found within herself to escape from being trapped by men, even if she had to harden her heart. She doesn't merely throw herself into degradation, she carries herself forward and still longs for love, becoming a refreshing presence for Alyosha and Mitya.

💚I was a bit hesitant about who to give Kindness to, but Father Zosima fits like a glove. He renounced to everything in his life to dedicate himself to caring for others and guiding them. After death, he was scorned, but his teachings live on in those he loved, and that's his "victory".

💛 Ivan as Justice is the least obvious one, but I believe it has potential to serve as good character analysis. The flavour text, while vague, reminds me of how Ivan doesn't pull any punches when it comes to exposing the dirt of what he sees as human nature and pointing out what makes him reject the world and its "mayhem". He skips all the rational steps to go straight to the suffering of children, judging and accusing Humanity as a whole. It's a reactive argument that fits this characterization of "Justice": he identifies the unwanted elements and hastens to protect himself. He doesn't run towards it or adopt a caring attitude. The flavour text is also in line with the characterization of one of his doubles, the Grand Inquisitor, who goes to the very roots of the problem of unhappiness to end a chaotic existence and closes himself off. And on top of it all, Ivan struggles with guilt over his secret parricidal desires, which culminate in a cathartic moment before a judge and a jury.
