To recapitulate on the events that have occurred in the novel Crime and Punishment I would note that at the moment The marriage between Dunechka and Luzhin has been call off for good, Raskolnikov decides to separate from his family now that they are in the hands of Razumikhin, Razumikhin realizes that Raskolnikov is the murderer, Raskolnikov speaks with Sonya and asks her to leave with him and then later telling her Lizaveta's killer, Svidrigaylov lurks in the shadows and listens to Raskolnikov and Sonya's conversation, and Raskolnikov is driven to the brink of almost confessing his crime, but due to a  fortunate occurrence is saved.
    The events of part 5 chapters 1-3 are very important. The events serve as a turning point in the novel. The Part begins with Luzhin in his room with a new character Lebezyatnikov sobering over the events that had occurred before at the dinner. He is very sad and knows that his marriage with Dunechka could now just be dust in the air. Luzhin comes to this realization but still has hopes in winning Dunechka back. The only problem is that his rationalization of his ruined relationship with Dunechka is rooted more in material failures than anything. He is quoted as saying" Another mistake I made was in not giving them any money" (Dostoevsky, 305). The quote shows him being oblivious to the truth. He is in denial about the events and blames the ill will on Raskolnikov and money; instead he should look inwards at himself and the way in which he acted at the dinner. We truly get to see how evil Luzhin is in these three chapters. Luzhin and Lebezyatnikov are invited to Katerina's dinner in which she spends over half the money Raskolnikov gave her on. At the dinner He devises a plan. He first invites Sonya into his room and through a seemingly benevolent act gives her ten roubles. Later on we know the true motives of his deeds. He bursts in and accuses Sonya of stealing one-hundred roubles from him. Katerina is shocked by his claims and knows that her step daughter Sonya would never do such an act and to prove it she checks Sonya's pockets. In doing so she is equally as perplexed when she sees the one-hundred roubles fall from Sonya's pocket. Luzhin as evil as he is filled with joy that his plans are going well, though he is foiled when Lebezyatnikov comes to the "rescue" and says that he saw Luzhin put the one-hundred roubles in Sonya's pocket. Luzhin is embarrassed to know that his attempt to make Raskolnikov look bad fails and thus leaves. Another thing that happens in the Part is that we see Katerina's sense on pride. We see that in the way she splurges on the memorial dinner though the family could be plunged even more into poverty. Her pride leads her to argue intensely with the landlady which ends ultimately with the Marmeladovs eviction.
