Place
Mokroe
Also known as the village of Mokroe.
Mokroe is the village where Dmitri says he drove with Grushenka and spent the money entrusted to him by Katerina Ivanovna. It lies about twenty-five versts from town and is remembered at first through champagne, gypsies, peasants, and money flung away in a reckless outing. For Dmitri, the place is already tied to shame, desire, and the need to recover three thousand roubles.
VII-III. An Onion
The village returns when Grushenka receives a message from her former officer there and leaves town to meet him.
VIII-VI. “I Am Coming, Too!”
Dmitri rushes toward Mokroe at night and finds the village mostly asleep except for the bright windows of Plastunov's inn, where Grushenka's party is still awake.
VIII-VIII. Delirium
The inn becomes the stage of another crowded revel, then the place where officials enter and charge Dmitri with the murder of Fyodor Pavlovitch.
IX-VII. Mitya’s Great Secret. Received With Hisses
During the inquiry, Mokroe is reconstructed through spending, witnesses, and Dmitri's claim that his earlier visit consumed only half of Katerina's entrusted money.
XII-II. Dangerous Witnesses
At trial, the two Mokroe scenes become central evidence about Dmitri's money, his behavior after the crime, and the scale of his spending.
Epilogue II. For A Moment The Lie Becomes Truth
After the verdict, Mokroe remains the inn and village where Trifon Borissovitch searches for imagined hidden treasure from Dmitri's spending.
