“...Here we have a different psychology. I have purposely resorted to this method, gentlemen of the jury, to show that you can prove anything by it. It all depends on who makes use of it. Psychology lures even most serious people into romancing, and quite unconsciously. I am speaking of the abuse of psychology, gentlemen.”

In all seriousness tho, I like that it was written dramatically, theatrically(?) even like a telenovela but was not reduced into pure melodrama (where sudden outbursts, etc. are for shock vaue). Also appreciates how Dostoevsky plants emotional and philosophical undercurrents before the plot fully develops more.

A wise woman once said, “Andito na tayo sa exciting part”. Lol. The suspense leading up to the murder(?) is making my head ache. So many things happening at the same time frame and everyone is just so dramatic af and I live for it. Haha!

@Pamela Worth the headache ang mga ganap haha. Pero if literal, depends on the translation. McDuff mas layman's term. Garnett- flowery words, poetic at times. Garnett's my kind of writing style. But that one chapter, Grand Inquisitor, I had to switch to McDuff cuz nosebleed.
