A glimpse into the lives of several characters in St. Petersburg. The narrative focuses on Raskolnikov's murder of an elderly pawnbroker and its repercussions, exploring themes of poverty, guilt, and redemption. We see the desperate circumstances of Marmeladov's family and the self-sacrificing Sonia. Raskolnikov's interactions with various individuals, including the calculating Luzhin and the enigmatic Svidrigailov, further complicate his psychological state. The excerpts also highlight the societal injustices and moral ambiguities prevalent in 19th-century Russia.
