She is surprised and scared by the sudden visit. They discuss Katerina Ivanovna, whom Sonya defends as kind, fiercely proud, and childish, though she admits that misfortune has more or less deranged Katerina. Sonya clearly cares deeply for her stepmother and is troubled to think that she might soon pass away from her illness, leaving her children defenseless. She clings to the belief that God will provide for the family and take care of them. Sonya also reveals that she was a friend of Lizaveta. She actually gave Sonya a copy of the Gospels and a crucifix. Raskolnikov orders Sonya to read him the story of Lazarus. Sonya, after struggling to start, eventually overcomes her fear and reads the story to him. The passage clearly holds some significance for her. Raskolnikov shares his resolution to separate himself from his family to her and asks her to go away with him. He sees her as very similar to him, someone who, because of her work, has also transgressed moral law and "destroyed a life - her very own." He tells her that he knows who murdered Lizaveta, and says he will tell her who did it the next time they see each other. Meanwhile, in the room next door, Svidrigailov eavesdrops on the two of them.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this incredible literary classic.
