And then there is also the sort that will come to this same Sonechka Marmeladova, will tell her all sorts of taradiddles, describe all kinds of horrors to her, butt into her soul, until he brings her to tears; and right off will start in crying himself and begin to console her, embrace her, pat her on the head, kiss her at first on the cheek, then on the lips; well, and everybody knows what happens next!
And it is entirely an untruth. Underneath the coarse and obscene profession, underneath the foulest oaths about one's mother underneath the drunken, hideous exterior Sonechka Marmeladova still lives! The fate of the Russian prostitute oh, what a tragic, piteous, bloody, ludicrous and stupid path it is!
I ask you: what has Russian literature extracted out of all the nightmare of prostitution? Sonechka Marmeladova alone. What has it given us about the moujik save odious, false, nationalistic pastorals? One, altogether but one, but then, in truth, the greatest work in all the world a staggering tragedy, the truthfulness of which takes the breath away and makes the hair stand on end.
