lausein tämän sankarittaren luonteen: »Epätoivo varhaisella iällä,
varhain koettu petos ja lankeemus, hänet hylänneen sulhasen
uskottomuus, sen jälkeen köyhyys, rehellisen perheen kirous ja
viimein erään rikkaan ukon suojelus, ukon, jota hän muuten vielä
nytkin pitää hyväntekijänään. Nuoreen sydämeen, jossa kenties piili
paljon hyvää, pesiytyi viha jo liian varhain. Luonne muodostui
laskelmia tekeväksi, rahaa kokoavaksi. Kehittyi ivallisuutta ja halua
kostaa yhteiskunnalle.» Tämän karakteristiikan jälkeen
ymmärrämme, että hän saattoi pitää pilanaan kumpaakin,
ainoastaan leikkiäkseen ilkeätä leikkiä. Ja tuon kuukauden aikana,
johon sisältyy toivotonta rakkautta, siveellisiä lankeemuksia, oman
morsiamen pettämistä, vieraitten, hänen kunniallisuutensa varaan
uskottujen rahojen anastamista, — syytetty kaiken lisäksi joutuu
miltei raivon ja vimmastuksen valtaan ainaisesta
mustasukkaisuudesta, ja ketä kohtaan, — omaa isäänsä kohtaan! Ja
pääasia on, että mieletön ukko koettaa houkutella ja viekoitella
hänen intohimonsa esinettä niillä samoilla kolmellatuhannella, joita
poika pitää äidinperintönään ja joiden anastamisesta hän soimaa
isää. Niin, minä myönnän, että tämä oli raskasta kantaa! Tässä
saattoi todella sairastua maniaan. Ei ollut kysymys rahoista, vaan
siitä, että juuri noilla rahoilla niin inhoittavan kyynillisesti tahdottiin

Tutkielma Smerdjakovista
— Mistä ensiksikin on johtunut se, että tuollainen epäluulo
ollenkaan on voinut syntyä? — tällä kysymyksellä Ippolit Kirillovitš
aloitti. — Ensimmäinen, joka huudahti, että Smerdjakov oli murhaaja,
oli syytetty itse vangitsemisensa hetkellä, mutta hän ei ole
kuitenkaan tuosta ensimmäisestä huudostaan lähtien aina tähän
hetkeen asti esittänyt syytöksensä tueksi ainoatakaan tosiasiaa, —
eipä edes jossakin määrin inhimillisen järjen mukaista viittaustakaan
johonkin tosiasiaan. Sitten on tämän syytöksen esittänyt ainoastaan
kolme henkilöä: syytetyn molemmat veljet ja rouva Svetlov. Mutta
syytetyn vanhempi veli esitti epäluulonsa vasta tänään, sairaana,
kiistämättömän mielenhäiriön ja kuumeen vallassa, kun taas tätä
ennen koko kahden kuukauden ajan, kuten varmasti tiedämme, hän
on täydelleen ollut vakuutettu veljensä syyllisyydestä eikä ole
koettanutkaan väittää mitään tätä ajatusta vastaan. Mutta tästä
puhumme erikseen myöhemmin. Sitten ilmoitti syytetyn nuorempi
veli meille äsken itse, ettei hänellä ole mitään tosiasioita esitettävänä
sen ajatuksensa tueksi, että Smerdjakov on syyllinen, ei
pienimpiäkään, ja että hän on saanut tämän käsityksensä
ainoastaan syytetyn sanoista ja »hänen kasvojensa ilmeestä», —
niin, tämän suurenmoisen todistuksen lausui hänen veljensä äsken
kahdesti. Rouva Svetlov taas lausui kenties vieläkin
suurenmoisemmin: »Mitä syytetty teille sanoo, sitä uskokaa, hän ei
ole niitä miehiä, että valehtelisi.» Tässä ovat noiden kolmen
henkilön, joita syytetyn kohtalo perin läheisesti koskee, kaikki
tosiasialliset todistukset Smerdjakovia vastaan. Ja kuitenkin syytös
Smerdjakovia vastaan on pysynyt vireillä ja levinnyt ja elää yhä, —
voiko sitä uskoa, onko se ajateltavissa? —
