My comments:

(1) is an example of a paper that doesn't go beyond high-school level. The problem isn't that this says anything incorrect - it shows a knowledge of what happens in the novel, and the most basic differences between the characters. However, there is nothing here that you couldn't lean about the novel from reading Spark Notes. The lesson that is drawn from the novel is very simple and straightforward - a writer like Dostoyevsky is capable of conveying so much more than this simple lesson. Your papers should show some appreciation of what it is that makes Dostoyevsky a great writer - you should probe what is happening under the surface with his characters. This is the kind of paper that works at high-school level, but not in a university.

(2) shows an awareness that the novel is complex, but as a final paragraph it is an admission of failure. It is true that different people will interpret a novel in different ways, and that philosophers are not on the point of arriving at an agreed answer to the problem of evil. However, this is used as an excuse for reaching stating any kind of conclusion. Different people will draw different interpretations of the novel: so what is your interpretation? You don't need to present a conclusion that will compell agreement from anyone who reads it, but you need to present a conclusion that is yours.

(3) In this case,  the student recognizes that it isn't possible to say very much in such a short essay. Lots of interesting questions are left unresolved. But he has selected one question, examined it at length, so that he is entitled to express an opinion. This concluding paragraph probably won't mean very much to most of you because you haven't read the essay that precedes it, which explained the difference between moral and intellectual virtue. This is written by a student who has bitten off one small subject, and earned the right to express an opinion of his own.
