At this point in the novel, Crime and Punishment, has seized to bring action and the thoughts of Rodya into play and introduces our new villian, Luzhin. He is confined by the hatred that Rodya has brought upon him and the story begins to foreshadow his actions against Rodya. What I noticed in the book and how Luzhin would obviously dislike Nietzsche, is the idea of Nihilism. He felt as if it was just a mere battle of children going crazy. "younger generation." But what actually profound me into the chapters were the conversation between Luzhin and Sonya. I had a strange thought, why would Luzhin request for her approach to him when he despises Rodya and having relations with Sonya. I began to think ahead. He might be using Sonya to get revenge for what Rodya had done to him. By making a fool out of himself in front of Dunya and his mother and getting kicked out of his own interview. I knew something was wrong. And suddenly it struck me. To relinquish a girl of her destitute relative and giving her ten roubles was to make her look bad. I thought I read the text wrong when I saw ten roubles. I mean why a wealthy being like him would, goes to a funeral and not attend the lunch and spoke privately to a girl and give her only ten rouble? And yet, something did go wrong. It also struck me that Sonya's stepmother would uphold such invitation and dramatic lunch and constantly berates her guests. She used all the money Rodya gave her for the funeral for some lunch, where those who attended were low class including Rodya-a former student of a university..(educated)
Though, Luzhin leaves with embarrassment, I think he might try to imply another act of revenge against Rodya and maybe this time, Lebezyatnikov. Oh, and another thing. I have noticed that both Royda and Lebezyatnikov hold similar names that end with nikov and the idea of them being atheist when Luzhin insults them during his departure.
