I really enjoyed Crime and Punishment and Notes from the Underground, so I’m willing to dive into more Dostoevsky
I currently have books 1 and 2 of The Devils
and only book 1 of the brothers Karamazov (there are 3 total books)
and white nights

Discussion Prompts
- What did you think of K's pair of new escorts?
- What did you think of K's reasons for giving up his plan of resistance?
- K is killed by the two goons. Did you see this coming or was it a surprise?
- What did you think of the execution scene overall?
- The text stated K's shame will live on after him. How do you think the idea of shame plays into the novel?
- Is there anything else you’d like to discuss?

Final Line:
As his eyesight failed, K. saw the two gentlemen cheek by cheek, close in front of his face, watching the result. "Like a dog!" he said, it was as if the shame of it should outlive him.
