Dostoevsky. «Crime and Punishment» «Find out, dear Rodya, that a suitor has proposed to Dunya, and she has already given her consent, which I hasten to inform you about as soon as possible. He is already a councilor, Petr Petrovich Luzhin. He is a reliable and well-off man, serving in two positions and already has his own capital. True, he is forty-five years old, but he is quite pleasant-looking and can still attract women, and in general, he is a very respectable and decent man, just a bit stern and somewhat arrogant at first glance. But perhaps it only seems that way at first. At the very least, by many indications, Petr Petrovich is a highly respected man. On his very first visit, he announced to us that he is a positive man but shares many, as he himself expressed it, «the beliefs of the newest generations of our time» and is an enemy of all prejudices. He spoke a lot, as he is somewhat vain and likes to be listened to, but that is almost not a vice. I, of course, understood little, but Dunya explained to me that he is a man with not much education but is intelligent and, it seems, kind. You know your sister’s character, Rodya. She is a firm, sensible, patient, and generous girl, although she has a passionate heart, which I have observed in her. Of course, there is no special love from either her or him in this matter, but Dunya, besides being an intelligent girl, is also a noble creature, like an angel, and she will make it her duty to make her husband happy, who, in turn, would take care of her happiness, and in the latter, we have, for the time being, no great reason to doubt, although it quickly became apparent, I must confess. Moreover, he is a very calculating man, and he will certainly see that his own marital happiness will be all the more certain if Dunyashka is happier with him. And as for any rough spots in character, Dunyashka herself told me that she can endure a lot, on the condition that their future relationship is honest and fair. On his second visit, already having received consent, he mentioned in conversation that even before he met Dunya, he had decided to marry a virtuous girl, but one without a dowry, and preferably one who had experienced financial hardship, because, as he explained, a husband should not be indebted to his wife in any way, and it’s much better if the wife considers her husband her benefactor.»
