From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Hearing of his wife’s death, Fyodor Pavlovitch either shouts for joy or weeps “like a little child,” and the narrator thinks both may be true. People, even the wicked, he says, are “much more naïve and simple-hearted than we suppose.” Does the chapter bear that out for Fyodor? Bracket the harshest words about him, and read the last sentence against them.
