pg 118

At first I folded down this page because at the top it tells the reader to underline in earnest. But now that I read the page over again it outlines the plan that Fyodor has of sending Ivan to Tchermashnya so that he can wait for Grushenka to visit him. It also tells what Dmitry is thinking and Alyosha is clearly upset by the way that his brother is acting. I wonder if Alyosha had expected Dmitry to barge into their father's house to beat Fyodor. Dmitry does certainly let on that something of that sort might happen, but Alyosha does nothing to stop it. Since everybody is to blame for Fyodor's death, I think that Alyosha is somewhat to blame for Dmitry beating Fyodor up as well.
