Everyone Goes Bad (C&P)

In this part of the novel, we are introduced to Luzhin's roommate Andrey Semenovich Lebezyatnikov (who is a younger man than him) and finds out that they live in the same building as the Marmeladovs. One thing after another happens leaving Luzhin with an unpleasant morning. He is particularly irritated that he is unable to receive any refund for the house and furniture he bought for him and Dunya after their supposed marriage. I start to get a sense of Luzhin's more materialistic (money hungry) side after reading about his belief that if he were to spoil them a bit more, he would have still been engaged to Dunya. I feel as though Part V of Crime and Punishment revealed every one's negative side. Peter Petrovich and Lebezyatnikov bashes on Katerina for "throwing away" all her money on the funeral that she got from Raskolnikov (the other fool). Kind of hypocritical to me if you think about it because Peter Petrovich gives Sonya a ten-rouble bank-note as if that weren't throwing away money.

Chapter 2 of Part V focuses more on Katerina and her reasons for spending such a large amount of money on the funeral. I can safely conclude that it was because of 'pride of the poor'. It is obvious at the funeral that her health was deteriorating. I mean, "intolerable coughing" "drops of sweat on her forehead" "blood on her handkerchief" ... Yeah somethings not right. I wonder what's going on with her? The fact that she insulted her low-class guests goes back to show you how highly  characters in this novel think of themselves. As the novel progresses, Katerina and her landlady gets into yet again another argument. It was shocking to me how Amalia brought up the "yellow card". Low blow man! In this mist of all this commotion, Luzhin enters the room and Katerina runs towards him. Uh, why?? She thinks that he will protect her from the "stupid creature" but he just brushes her away. What a naive widow she is.

Luzhin attempts to accuse Sonya of stealing a 100 ruble note which he gave to her earlier. He's setting her up! Of course Katerina (being a mother and all) defends Sonya, but come to find out that she did indeed have a 100 ruble note. She balled it up and threw it at Luzhin's face ending up with him calling her a "mad women". Lebezyatnikov comes out of nowhere and defends Sonya proving her innocence. Where did he come from though, like really? You gave everyone good timing Dostoevesky! I feel as though everyone will end up hating Luzhin because one by one he begins to lose/hate all his friends. Anyways, the Marmeladovs end up evicted. They now lost a family member AND a home. Great going Katerina. I mean, who argues with their landlady?
