Why didn't Rogozhin simply frame prince Myshkin?

Frame him for what?

for killing what's her face

bumpp

Wasn't he too busy having a breakdown? It's been a while since I read the book, but I do remember it being depressing as hell.

Because he’s a good person at heart :)

it wasn’t the prince who killed Nastasia. Did you mean why didn’t Muishkin frame Rogojin? If yes then I think the prince went mad when he noticed that she was dead, he just froze basically and couldn’t leave the room, dude was kinda insane beforehand

I thought for 90% of the book that it was going to be the /one/ dostoevsky book with a happy ending. I would have been genuinely surprised by the ending, except I was reading it with my mom and she finished it a day or two before me and made a comment about how depressing the end was. I was like wtf mom, fucking spoilers?

"frame" means to make it look like someone committed a crime that they didn't actually commit. Rogozhin actually committed the crime, so Myshkin couldn't have framed him. OP is asking why Rogozhin (the murderer) didn't make it look like Myshkin (the not-murderer) killed her.

What an idiot!

What really got me was Nastasya's reaction to her wedding approaching and how it was described. iirc she was puking from the stress-induced guilt at the prospect of marrying a good man like the prince and couldn't accept herself as worthy of him, how convinced she was that she deserved to be damned and that's eventually what happened.

ohh I see, not a native speaker my bad. That’s a good question tho. I guess Rogojin didn’t have anything else to live for so it didn’t matter to him what happened after Nastasia dies

ok so rp me here. was Nastasya slutting around? or was she just a tease? the answer determines whether I'm sad that she and Myshkin didn't get together

>wtf mom, fucking spoilers? 

Cute story ^.^

I don't remember details about her sleeping with men other than you know when, but iirc the prince found her dead in a bed, so maybe it was implied she got killed during the act or Rogozhin just arranged the scene, I can't remember.

>other than you know when

it's been a long time since I read it so I actually don't know which part you're talking about

>maybe it was implied

yeh that's where my confusion comes in. There were lots of places where I felt it was implied, but I'm not sure whether we're supposed to assume she actually was the town bicycle or whether she just makes some questionable choices

The epilogue made me so depressed, hearing that when Myshkin's influence left everyone quickly went back to their old ways. If Myshkin is supposed to be a Christ level of good character, Dostoevksy seems to be implying the same about the world once Christ left it
