from Toba Kerson's notes: 2nd scene in which Smerdyakov appears in Fyodor’s home with brothers. F. says he has epilepsy. He is not normal. Another scene when Smer & Ivan talk and discuss his epilepsy, S reports that he had an attack and fell down the stairs, etc. Ivan says clearly, You are an idiot. Only in this version, he feigns a seizure in the cellar to bring his father and the servant down to the cellar. In Russian version, this does not happen. Scene when priests are praying over the body of Fyodor, Smer discusses his epilepsy with his brother and leaves but says he killed his father. In this scene, he says that epilepsy is the perfect . . . . ? In court scene, servant, who is not dead after all gives testimony and includes discussion of epilepsy.
