2.9: Theyre all just hanging out at a veranda, 11PM, during what was supposed to be a getaway…Didnt have sht to do in fuedal Russia I guess

I dont understand the prince at all, I dont think its “goodness” that makes him keep entertaining awful people. You can only let in so many people until you become a doormat

I’m Lizaveta in this situation hahaha

2.6: I assume the cultural references would have hit harder for the Russians

2.5: The love-hate relationship the central rivalry has going on feels lackluster ugh. I dont even understand why Rogozhin doesnt just hate the Prince with all his might? Its not in his character

2.4: ‘Then take her, if that’s what fate decrees! She’s yours! I yield!’

And they lived happy ever after, the end? Hhahaha jk

2.3: The love triangle thing is the only thing jn Part 2 so far. kinda simplistic compared to the knotted ties that criss-crossed Part 1

2.2: Why people keep trusting this Lebedev fellow, I do not know

2.1: Its kinda sad that after that whole ordeal, the ones worst off are the middle class professional, and the sexual grooming victim, and everyone else that was rich went out and picked up their life anew and it turned out okay. Which, I think is the point? Since this is a very class forward story.

Part 1. Well, that was a very intense day for everyone involved. Topsy-turvy social hierarchy. Eccentric, varied cast. Sincerely done melodrama. I think I pity Varva and Kolya the most. Everyone else is so duplicitous, including, as far as where I am right now, the supposed “idiot” prince

1.14: Nightmare scenario
