• Avdotya Romanovna : Why would he murder?

  Svidrigaylov : it's a long story. He has a sort of theory that a crime is justified, if the final goal is beneficial. Then there is the irritation of being hungry, of living in a cramped flat, wearing rags, and the plight of his family, but above all there is his vanity. His pride and his vanity.

  Avdotya Romanovna : And his conscience? Do you deny him his moral feeling?

  Svidrigaylov : Oh, Avdotya Romanovna, everything is upside down. Though l suppose things never were in better order than they are now. Russians have big ideas, Avdotya Romanovna, as large as their country. And we've always been disposed to chaos and fantasy.
