Event

Dmitri's Threat to Kill Fyodor

Also known as it will be murder, Beware, old man.

Dmitri tells Alyosha that if Grushenka goes to Fyodor Pavlovitch, he may not be able to endure it. He names the danger plainly as murder and says the old man, not Grushenka, would be the one he might kill. The threat is bound to jealousy, disgust, money, and Dmitri's desperate hope that a miracle will prevent anything awful.

III-IX. The Sensualists

After breaking into Fyodor Pavlovitch's House, Dmitri leaves his father bloodied and renews the threat, crying that if he has not killed him he will come again and kill him.
