Critical ReadingSelect an Answer

Alyosha had been struck by Katerina Ivanovna'sbeauty when, three weeks

before, Dmitri had firstbrought him, at Katerina Ivanovna's specialrequest, to

be introduced to her. There had been noconversation between them at that

interview, however. Supposing Alyosha to be very shy, Katerina Ivanovna had

talked all the time to Dmitrito spare him. Alyosha had been silent, but he had

seen a great deal very clearly. He was struckby the imperiousness, proud ease,

and self-confidence of the haughty girl. And all that wascertain, Alyosha felt

that he was not exaggerating it. He thought her great glowing black eyeswere

very fine, especially with her pale, even rather sallow, longish face. But in

those eyes andin the lines of her exquisite lips there was something with which

his brother might well bepassionately in love, but which perhaps could not be

loved for long. He expressed this thoughtalmost plainly to Dmitri when, after

the visit, his brother besought and insisted that he shouldnot conceal his

impressions on seeing his betrothed.

"You'll be very happy with her, but perhaps—not tranquilly happy."

"Quite so, brother. Such people remain always the same. They don't yield to

fate. So you thinkI shan't love her for ever."

"No; perhaps you will love her for ever. But perhaps you won't always be

happy with her."

Alyosha had given his opinion at the time, blushing, and angry with himself

for having yieldedto his brother's entreaties and put such "foolish" ideas into

words. For his opinion had struckhim as awfully foolish immediately after he had

uttered it. He felt ashamed too of having givenso confident an opinion about a

woman.

______
