Gide remarks on how Dostoyevsky’s intellectual characters are shadowed by characters who fawn over intellect (Ivan/ Smerdyakov) (Smerdyakov apes and shadows the intellect of Ivan but “reflects” the passions of Misha.) (Smerdyakov pretends to be what Ivan is but in fact is what Misha refrains from being.)
