In Part 5, Chapter 1 of Crime and Punishment, Luzhin is staying with Lebeziatnikov, the
Marmoladov's socialist neighbor.
Luzhin obsesses over his broken engagement and is angry about the money he lost on it.
He wants revenge against Raskolnikov.
Lebeziatnikov, meanwhile, takes pride in spouting his socialist views.
Luzhin mentions Sonya's bad reputation.
As a socialist, Lebeziatnikov claims to respect Sonya's role as a prostitute because she's
protesting the rules of society.
But Lugin accuses him of having Sonia
kicked out of the boarding house.
Lebeziatnikov is defensive, but admits to doing this.
Later, he criticizes Lugin's opinion of Sonia
because Lugin refuses to take a humane view
of a fellow creature.
Lugin counts his money and laughs
at Lebeziatnikov's political opinions.
Luzhin gets Lebeziatnikov to introduce him to Sonia,
saying he wants to start a collection for her family.
Luzhin gives Sonia a 10-ruble bill.
Lebeziatnikov says he saw everything,
calling Luzhin's act honorable and humane.
In part five, chapter two of Crime and Punishment,
Raskolnikov attends the funeral dinner
organized by Katerina Ivanovna,
which is not as successful or dignified as she had hoped.
In fact, the scene is darkly comic.
Most of the dinner guests have not even gone to the funeral, and some are complete strangers.
Katarina Ivanovna mistakenly believes Lugin can help her get a government pension,
but he doesn't even attend the dinner.
Her neighbors avoid the event because of Sonia's reputation,
and those who have come are a motley bunch with poor manners
who seem only to be there for the free food and drink and may even make off with the silverware.
In their rush, they show no respect for the dead man or his family.
Katarina Ivanovna introduces Raskolnikov as an educated,
who will, in two years, take a professorship in the university.
She makes delusional plans to start a high-class school for girls.
She mocks her guests and antagonizes her landlady,
but, weeping, defends and praises Sonia.
In Part 5, Chapter 3 of Crime and Punishment,
Lugin arrives at the funeral dinner to enact his plan.
He accuses Sonia of stealing a hundred rubles from his table when they met.
Sonia meekly protests her innocence.
Katerina Ivanovna, in a frenzy,
turns out Sonia's pockets to prove her innocence,
but a hundred-ruble note falls out.
Among calls to send Sonia to Siberia,
Lebeziatnikov arrives, announcing he saw Luzhin
secretly slip the money into Sonia's pocket
during their meeting.
Raskolnikov reveals Luzhin's motives to the crowd.
