And I ac-\ncept itall, not with contempt, but with humility. So be it! So\nbe it! 'Behold the man!' Excuse me, young man, can you. . . .\nNo, to put it more strongly and more distnctly; not can you but\ndare you, looking upon me, assert that I am not a pig?\"\nThe young man did not answer a word.\n\"Well,\" the orator began again stolidly and with even in-\ncreased dignity, after waiting for the laughter in the room to\nsubside. \"Well, so be it, I am a pig, but she is a lady! I have the\nsemblance of a beast, but Katerina Ivanovna, my spouse, is a\nperson of education and an ofiicer's daughter. Granted, granted,\nI am a scoundrel, but she is a woman of a noble heart, full of\nsentiments, refined by education. And yet . . . oh, if only she\nfelt for me! Honoured sir, honoured sir, you know every man\nought to have at least one place where people feel for him!! But\nKaterina Ivanovna, though she is magnanimous, she is unjust.\n. . . And yet, although I realise that when she pulls my hair she\nonly does it out of pity — for I repeat without- being ashamed,\nshe pulls my hair, young man,\" he declared with redoubled dig-\nnity, hearing the sniggering again — \"but, my God, if she would\nbut once. . . . But no, no! It's all in vain and it's no use talking!\nNo use talking! For more than once, my wish did come true and\nmore than once she has felt for me but . . . such is my fate and\nI am a beast by nature!\"\n\"Rather!\" assented the innkeeper yawning. Marmeladov\nstruck his fist resolutely on the table.\n\"Such is my fate! Do you know, sir, do you know, I have\nsold her very stockings for drink? Not her shoes — that would\nbe more or less in the order of things, but her stockings, her\nstockings I have sold for drink! Her mohair shawl I sold for\ndrink, a present to her long ago, her own property, not mine;\nand we live in a cold room and she caught cold this winter and\nhas begun coughing and spitting blood too. We have three little\nchildren and Katerina Ivanovna is at work from morning till\nnight; she is scrubbing and cleaning and washing the children.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:39.371Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFCZZ05FKVDDMJJV3YE9Q4WH","peer_label":"crimepunishment00dostiala.pdf","peer_type":"file","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KESYJX0Z6XE0HWTS5N3SDG0B","peer_label":"The Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-20T15:28:41.614Z","ts":"2026-01-20T15:28:42.682Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFCZWTBNJH4WFMS8354919KY"}}
