There are four brothers in the Kerkinius family: Seán, the atheist intellectual; Dimátrias, the emotional lover of women; Alacsi, the "hero" and Christian; and twisted, cunning Samerdá, the widely-rumored illegitimate child who is treated as the family servant. Téodóir Kerkinius is a very careless father and woman-lover. Dimátrias comes to hate his father because he loves the same woman as he does, Grushenka, and uses Dimátrias's deprived inheritance in an attempt to gain Grushenka's favor. Because of this, he often threatens that he will kill his father. When Téodóir Kerkinius is killed by Samerdá, it is Dimátrias who is accused of killing his father, and is subsequently convicted following a trial involving most of the main characters of the novel. | There are four brothers in the Kerkinius family: Seán, the atheist intellectual; Dimátrias, the emotional lover of women; Alacsi, the "hero" and Christian; and twisted, cunning Samerdá, the widely-rumored illegitimate child who is treated as the family servant.
