The Pink Ribbon

Also known as a piece of narrow pink ribbon, the narrow pink ribbon.

The pink ribbon is found on the floor in Fyodor Pavlovitch's room near the opened empty envelope. It had tied the envelope prepared as a present for Grushenka. At its first appearance, it is a small physical trace in the murder inquiry, linking the missing money to the room's disorder.

XI-VIII. The Third And Last Interview With Smerdyakov

Smerdyakov says he took the notes from the envelope and threw the envelope and ribbon down beside it. The little object becomes part of the staging he describes to Ivan.

XII-I. The Fatal Day

At the trial, the ribbon lies among the material proofs with the envelope, bloody clothes, pestle, and other objects. Its softness makes it stand out among the hard evidence of violence.
