Main Characters (order by mention)
Bilbo Baggins - Frodo’s older cousin and former Ring-bearer. Now aged and reflective. Composes songs and poetry, unaware of the full danger his “magic ring” once held.
Frodo Baggins - Bearer of the Ring, reluctantly brave, chosen to undertake the perilous task of destroying it. Now fully aware of the Ring's danger and central role in the fate of Middle-earth.
Sam Gamgee - Loyal servant and friend to Frodo. Devoted and brave, he insists on following Frodo no matter the cost. His presence is now accepted as essential to the journey.
Gandalf - A powerful wizard and key strategist. After disappearing earlier, he returns with grave knowledge of the Ring’s origin and Sauron’s movements. He explains the history and warns of the stakes involved.
Merry Brandybuck - Clever and practical. Close friend of Frodo and cousin. More mature and observant than Pippin, often the first to sense danger or think tactically.
Gollum - Once a bearer of the Ring, corrupted and obsessed with it. Captured and interrogated by Elves, later escaped. His fate deeply concerns Gandalf and others.
Pippin Took - Youngest of the hobbits, curious and impulsive. His youthful energy and naivety contrast with the others, though he’s loyal and growing through the journey.
Saruman the White - Head of the wizards. Wise but proud and obsessed with power, knows all about magic rings
Sauron the Great - Dark Lord and maker of the Ring. Regaining strength in Mordor. Seeks the Ring again
Aragorn - Strider. Heir of Isildur and wielder of the broken sword Narsil. A capable ranger and leader with deep knowledge of the enemy. Respected but feared by some due to his lineage.
Elrond - Lord of Rivendell. Wise and ancient, hosts the Council. Reveals the deep history of the Ring and helps guide the decision to destroy it.
Arwen - Elrond’s daughter, Half-elven. Graceful and wise, betrothed to Aragorn. Though her role in the Council is minimal, she symbolizes the Elves’ connection to Men.
Gimli - A sturdy Dwarf warrior, son of Glóin. Initially skeptical of Elves but fierce in loyalty. Represents the Dwarves at the Council and is eager for action.
Legolas - Elven prince of Mirkwood. Speaks on behalf of his father, brings news of Gollum’s escape. Agile, perceptive, and calm in demeanor, he soon joins the Fellowship.
Boromir - Son of the Steward of Gondor. Proud and valiant but wary of the Ring’s influence. Attends the Council seeking aid and dreams of using the Ring for Gondor’s defense.

Costa's Wordbook
Pomatum n a scented ointment or oil applied to the hair; pomade (poe May tum)
Sine qua non n latin a necessary condition without which something is not possible (Sin ne kwa non)
Teucer, Dardanus, Ilius and Tros - figures in Greek mythology, particularly associated with the founding and early history of Troy (also known as Ilium or Dardania). Dardanus, son of Zeus and Electra, is the progenitor of the Trojans. Teucer, a king of the Teucrians, is an ancestor of the Trojans and father of Bateia, who married Dardanus. Ilus, son of Dardanus and Bateia, founded the city of Ilium (Troy). Tros, son of Erichthonius and grandson of Dardanus, renamed the land Troy after himself.

Candide - a French satire written by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment, first published in 1759. The novella has been widely translated. A young man, Candide, lives a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise, being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. This lifestyle is abruptly ended, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world.
Belinsky - a Russian literary critic of Westernizing tendency, he played one of the key roles in the career of poet and publisher Nikolay Nekrasov and his popular magazine Sovremennik. He was the most influential of the Westernizers, especially among the younger generation.
Onegin - In Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin," Tatyana and Onegin are central characters whose complex relationship unfolds throughout the narrative. Tatyana, a young, romantic girl, falls deeply in love with the sophisticated and worldly Onegin. He initially rejects her love, but years later, when Tatyana is married, Onegin realizes his true feelings for her and attempts to rekindle their relationship. Tatyana, however, remains faithful to her marriage, rejecting Onegin despite still loving him.
Les femmes tricottent - a French phrase that translates to "the women are knitting" in English. It's also famously associated with the historical figure of the tricoteuse, a woman who would sit knitting while attending public executions during the French Revolution. The phrase is sometimes used to indicate a passive or even callous attitude towards important events, as the tricoteuses were seen as seemingly indifferent to the bloodshed while continuing their knitting

0:00:26 1 Perhotin, suspicious of Dmitri, investigates his story. He questions Grushenka’s maid about the pestle and Madame Hohlakov, who denies giving Dmitri money, despite her annoyance at the late visit.
0:15:43 2 Perkhotin goes to tell the police about his fear, but he finds that the station is already a hubbub of activity. Grigory’s wife has made another report to the police. Fyodor Pavlovich has been murdered.
0:31:27 3 Dmitri is arrested for Fyodor’s murder, pleads innocence, but admits hating him. Grushenka, blaming herself, vows love. His confessions about the 3,000 roubles deepen suspicions.
0:51:07 4 Dmitri confesses to hating Fyodor but denies murder, admits knowing about the 3,000 roubles, and needing it for debt. He’s open about his actions, including taking the pestle, but hides the money’s origin. He’s searched.
1:07:18 5 Dmitri admits hating Fyodor but denies murdering him, confesses knowing about the 3,000 roubles, needing it for debt, and taking the pestle. He’s open, except about the money’s origin, tightening suspicions.
1:33:00 6 Dmitri is ordered to undress and submit to a thorough search. The officers go through his clothes, searching for more money, and find additional bloodstains; they decide to retain his clothing as evidence. 
1:50:39 7 Dmitri, realizing his dire situation, admits the 3,000 roubles came from Katerina, half spent on Grushenka’s orgy, half saved. Planning suicide, he spent the rest for a final fling.
2:13:21 8 Witnesses confirm Dmitri spent 3,000 roubles on the orgy, needing to replace it. Grushenka testifies, supporting Dmitri’s innocence, but officials doubt her, as he swears he didn’t murder Fyodor.
