TRANSCRIPT

Part II: The Punishment Begins

Chapter 1: The Police Station

Superintendent: Nikodim Fomitch Asst. Superintendent: Ilya Petrovitch (“the

Explosive Lieutenant”) Head Clerk: Zametov

Chapter 2: The Rock & Razumihin

Whydunnit? (p. 112) Intro to Razumihin (“razum” = “reason”

or “good sense” Duality of human nature (116) Rask as cut off from humans (117)

Chapter 3: New Beginnings

Raskolnikov nursed back to health (4 days)

Reconciled with landlady re: debt 35 rubles from mother New clothes Awakening from delirium Reacquaintance with Razumihin

square yard of space” – p. 160 – i.e., Life at ALL costs) THIRD OPTION?

Chapter 7: Marmaledov & “The Square Yard of Space”

Marmaledov in carriage accident – recall earlier scene (116) when Rask is almost trampled

Pp. 188-190: Third option is to LIVE, to do GOOD

STRENGTH! WILL! Conversation w/ Polenka? Chapter ends with arrival of mother

(Pulcheria) & sister (Dounia) waiting at Rask’s apt …
