    "The Last Unicorn" by Peter S. Beagle

    A Timeless fantasy.
    A unicorn quests to find her lost kin.
    Enchanting prose weaves magic, loss, and love.
    A cult classic, cherished by generations.
    Inspired a beloved 1982 animated film, of the same title.

    VI - VII
    00:28 VI Schmendrick’s magic misfires, enchanting a tree to love him. The unicorn frees him. Molly Grue, awestruck, joins their quest. Revitalized, she guides them to cursed Hagsgate, near King Haggard’s doomed castle.
    22:45 VII In thriving Hagsgate, Drinn reveals a curse tying the town to Haggard’s castle. A foundling, now Prince Lír, may doom both. Schmendrick is paid to poison Lír but won’t. The Red Bull charges.

    Main Characters
    The Unicorn - Immortal and beautiful, albeit a little vain, she leaves the safety of her forest upon learning that she is the last unicorn in the world, with information about the Red Bull as her only clue.
    The Butterfly - Eccentric being, speaks in riddles and songs, he provides vital information about the fate of other unicorns, mentioning the Red Bull.
    Mommy Fortuna - Wicked old witch, runs a sideshow carnival for profit. The carnival features what appear to be mythical creatures, but are actually enchanted normal animals, with the exception of Harpy and Unicorn.
    Schmendrick - A bumbling magician, works at Mommy Fortuna’s carnival, craving real magical power; recognizing the captured Unicorn’s true nature, he frees her and joins her quest.
    Captain Cully - Leader of a mediocre outlaw band opposing King Haggard, strives to be charming but succumbs to jealousy when Schmendrick’s magic accidentally summons a Robin Hood illusion, overshadowing him.
    Molly Grue - Captain Cully’s common-law wife, eloped with him as a young woman, drawn to his outlaw allure, but ended up cooking for his ragged band, her romantic dreams unfulfilled.

A peasant jury listens. Finely dressed, Dmitri admits to debauchery but denies murder, despite strong evidence against him. 16:49 2 Fetyukovich, a brilliant trial lawyer, masterfully discredits witnesses like Grigory, Rakitin, Captain Snegiryov, and the Mokroe innkeeper, exposing inconsistencies and questioning their motives, weakening the case against Dmitri. 39:32 3 Three medical experts offer conflicting views on Dmitri’s mental state, providing no clear support for prosecution or defense. Dr. Herzenstube’s tales of Dmitri’s childhood stir sympathy among the courtroom listeners. 52:22 4 Alyosha’s testimony, recalling Dmitri’s money before the murder, sways the courtroom against theft accusations. Katerina’s story of Dmitri’s honor humiliates her. Grushenka passionately defends Dmitri but adds little evidence. 1:14:20 5 Ivan, ill, testifies incoherently, showing Smerdyakov’s 3,000 rubles, claiming he’s the murderer, citing a devil. He’s dragged out. Katerina reveals Dmitri’s confession letter. Grushenka calls her a serpent, sparking uproar. 1:36:18 6 Prosecutor Kirillovitch details the murder, analyzing the Karamazovs, focusing on Dmitri’s passionate, undisciplined nature and his actions before the crime, arguing his violent disposition led him to murder. 1:59:27 7 Prosecutor Kirillovitch details Dmitri’s passionate, undisciplined nature and pre-murder actions, arguing his violent disposition drove him to commit the crime, analyzing the Karamazov family’s role. 2:10:45 8 Kirillovitch dismisses Ivan’s claim that Smerdyakov murdered, citing his lack of motive and incapacity. Dmitri’s hatred, need for money, and letter to Katerina prove his premeditated crime. 2:32:49 9 Prosecutor concludes by making a stirring appeal to the jury to uphold the sacred principles of justice and the moral foundation on which Russian civilization is built by punishing this most horrible of crimes, parricide. 2:58:39 10 Fetyukovitch begins his defense by emphasizing that all evidence against Dmitri is circumstantial. No fact withstands objective criticism if examined separately. 3:08:17 11 Fetyukovich argues no proof of robbery exists, Fyodor’s 3,000 rubles is hearsay, Dmitri’s money explanation is credible, and his drunken letter to Katerina doesn’t prove premeditated murder. 3:23:40 12 Fetyukovich doubts the pestle proves premeditation, dismisses Dmitri’s threats as idle talk, questions Grigory’s testimony, and suggests Smerdyakov, envious and ambitious, had motive to kill Fyodor for the money. 3:43:00 13 Fetyukovich argues Fyodor wasn’t a true father, only biologically, neglecting and mistreating Dmitri, urging the jury for mercy to allow Dmitri’s redemption, as Russian justice seeks salvation, not punishment. 4:01:35 14 The audience, moved by sympathy, applauds, expecting Dmitri’s acquittal. However, the jury finds him guilty on all counts after retiring, delivering a shocking verdict. 4:16:26 E1 Five days after Dmitri’s trial, Alyosha visits Katerina, where Ivan lies gravely ill. Regretting her betrayal, she reveals Ivan’s escape plan for Dmitri and agrees to visit him in prison. 4:28:34 E2 Alyosha informs Dmitri of Katerina’s visit and escape plans. Dmitri seeks repentance but insists Grushenka joins him. Katerina and Dmitri reconcile, but Grushenka, bitter, rejects Katerina’s plea for forgiveness. 4:45:41 E3 Alyosha attends Ilusha’s funeral, speaks to his school friends, urging them to cherish their friendship forever, promising to remember them. The boys, moved, cheer for Karamazov. Main Characters Fyodor Karamazov- Patriarch, wealthy, selfish, lecherous; murdered, sparking the story’s central conflict Dmitri (Mitya) Karamazov- Eldest son, passionate, reckless, accused of Fyodor’s murder Ivan Karamazov- Middle son, intellectual, nihilistic, struggles with guilt and philosophy Alyosha Karamazov- Youngest son, kind, spiritual, seeks to help others Smerdyakov- Illegitimate son, cunning, resentful, implicated in murder Katerina Ivanovna- Dmitri’s fiancée, proud, conflicted, pivotal in trial Grushenka- Dmitri’s lover, seductive, complex, influences family tensions Zossima- Elder monk, wise, spiritual, guides Alyosha’s faith Ilyusha ...
