Event
Ivan's Nightmare Also known as The Devil. Ivan's Nightmare.
Ivan's nightmare is the hallucinatory conversation in which Ivan , on the eve of brain fever, argues with a shabby gentlemanly devil on his sofa. The visitor is both vulgar and intimate, repeating Ivan's own discarded ideas while claiming an irritating independence. Ivan knows enough to call him illness and fantasy, but he still debates him, throws a glass at him, and cannot fully master the vision.
XI-X. “It Was He Who Said That”
When Alyosha arrives with news of Smerdyakov's suicide , Ivan insists the visitor had just been present and vanished only when Alyosha came.
XI-X. “It Was He Who Said That”
Ivan explains the nightmare as the voice of his own basest thoughts about conscience, pride, cowardice, and the testimony he means to give.
XII-V. A Sudden Catastrophe
In court, Ivan's references to the devil, the quadrillion, and the witness with a tail make the nightmare part of the public collapse that destroys the force of his confession.
