Epilogue
Love?
Nice shot, Svid Vicious
Wow, that section of freaky Svid was cool. Kinda sick and twisted, specially when he was having that crazy nightmare where his perversion turned up to 11. I was so glad the 5 year old was part of his nightmare. The imagery of the flies and the mouse really adds to the decay. Why do you think Svid kills himself? Interesting comparison to Rasko, who doesn't kill himself.

Sonya
Rasko is gettin mean.
Wait, Sonya's a hooker
was Rasko's sister a hooker or just a promiscuous girl?
Sonya thinks Lisaveta was cool.
Why does Rasko make her read Lazarus out loud?
So Rasko thinks he and Sonya should go on a road trip. Is this going to turn into Natural Born Killers? I sure hope so.
Wait, Rasko's leaving and when he comes back, he'll tell who killed Lisaveta--never tell on yourself, dude.
Egat!!!!
Pyotr failed

Pyotr Petrovich Luzhin part 2 chapter5
Rodya gets to meet is soon to brother-in-law. The dude is not liked. He comes across as pompous and he's dressed really well, but Rodya's mom and sister are being put up in the cheaapest dwelling, stingy Luzhin.
Let's rap about this scene.
there is some hints at killing being okay to get by in such hard times. The start of this discussion.
we also find out that everyone who had a pledge (or pawning) with Alyona Ivanovna is being questioned by the investigator, Porfiry.
Uh-oh...shoulda take care of that Rodan...I mean Rodya.

what a dream
That poor horse. "Whip the eyes!" What a horrible dream.
The drunk girl on the bench
What a scene. I love the way it is written. The narrative is smooth, but there is still great description. When you read the scene, pay attention to the style. Why do you think it works so well without being verbose? I find my question is the thing to look at here. AT a time of romantic language, Dostoyevsky is to the purpose in his writing, but there is still a voice there. It will be important to pay attention to that voice.

Crime and Punishment so far
I started reading this beast last night, and I feel you guys should enjoy it. It really gets going right away. The guy we’re following around is Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov (the main character who is alternately called Rodya, Rodenka, and Rodka). The dude is freaked out constantly. He’s poor in a poor part of town where everyone’s drunk all the time. He always has to dodge his landlady because he owes her money. Oh yeah, and he wants to do something terrible to the moneylender or pawn shop owner Alyona Ivanovna.
cool words:
proclivity
natural or habitual inclination or tendency; propensity; predisposition.
Marmeladov is probably putting some ideas in Rodya’s head. Marmeladov is getting more and more drunk. BTW the yellow card that Marmeladov keeps talking about is like a passport for a prostitute, so his daughter had to become a prostitute. And, Mr. Marmeladov stays drunk because he feels he must be as miserable as his wife and children. And he stole some money from the moneylender. Egat. This is depressing. What are your thoughts guys?
I hope that was the last of him. What a creep. And what a depressing chapter. It may rain all summer because of this book. The kids crying in the corner, and one kid wakes up and starts crying. And Marmaledov drank all the money away, and he enjoys the beatings he gets because he feels he deserves the misery. WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU GUYS?
