We're still not done with this novel?!Oh how...nice

     The more I read this book, the more I get depressed.When you first start reading the book,you think that the evil person is R-cubed and that the novel would center on his crime.These past couple of chapters showcases someone even more evil:Paris Hilton.Just kidding...not really.Luzhin really is the biggest jerk I've ever met..er..read.First off,he thinks that Dunya rejected him based on material reasons which is just ridiculous.I mean, what women rejects a guy because of money?Oh...wait. Then he tries to sabotage Sonya and ruin her reputation.Sorry honey, but I think prostitution did it first.What's sad is that yes, R-cubed killed two people and that's horrible, but this guy has and will spend his whole life hurting people.Not that that I'm condoning R-cubed's actions, but how many people does one have to seriously hurt for it to equal a murder?If there is a higher being, who will he sentence to a harsher punishment?I'm glad Luzhin's plan didn't work.It  felt very sitcom-y;a bad person tries to do something,almost gets away with it,then a Russian comes in and defeats him.Good riddance!
     Now to the other horrible person of the moment:Katerina.She spends so much of R-cubed's gift on the memorial service.I mean,what woman spends so much money on a single event?Oh...wait.We tend think of pride as a good thing but in Katerina's case,it caused her to make foolish decisions.I have a feeling she's going to die.Remember what happened the last time we read about someone coughing a lot?
     Anyway,I liked these chapters because they were interesting and at times funny.It was nice to get away from R-cubed and focus on the other people in the novel.Dostoevsky shows us that no matter how bad someone is in a certain context, there is always someone worse in another way.Katerina and Luzhin give us a better sense of the world that R-cubed lives in,one that is filled with pride,poverty,and unnecessary cruelty.HA!JUST KIDDING!No, I liked these chapters because it means we are one step closer to finishing the novel.Praise da lord!
