Even before he reaches home he meets the dark Rogozhin, arich merchant's son whose obsession with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna eventually draws all three of them into atragic denouement. In Petersburg the prince finds himself astranger in asociety obsessed with money, power, and manipulation. Scandal escalates to murder as Dostoevsky traces the surprising effect of this "positively beautiful man" on the people around him, leading to afinal scene that is one of the most powerful in all of world literature.
