Question 2 The message Dostoevsky is making about family and sacrafice is that sometimes to help your family you have to do what you have to do in order to survive. Examples of such are Dunia getting married to a rich man and sofia selling her body in order to buy her father drinks.

Question 3 The struggle between good and evila has been around since the begining of time. There is good and evil in all of us whether we dont show one more than the other they are both there. So this is very realistic this exist because you will always have to deal with your conscience and you heart no matter what your mind is set on.
