Ilusha's Funeral Dinner

Also known as his funeral dinner.

Ilusha's funeral dinner is the customary meal awaiting the mourners after Ilusha's funeral. The boys speak uneasily about eating pancakes after such sorrow, but Alyosha tells them not to be ashamed of the old custom. Coming just after Alyosha's speech at the stone, the meal becomes the ordinary human act that carries their compact back indoors.
