In the course of the conversation, Peter reveals his father’s comments about Stavrogin’s indiscretions, causing Varvara to banish Stepan from her home. He wins Varvara’s trust by assuring her that her son is acting nobly toward Marya. Stavrogin offers to take Marya away without clarifying their relationship while Peter promises to explain everything. When both Stavrogin, Peter, and Lebyadkin arrive, the scene descends into chaos. One day, Varvara takes Marya back to her home and asks her about Stavrogin.
Marya and her brother are recent arrivals in the town. Stavrogin is also alleged to have been romantically involved with a woman with a disability named Marya, who is the sister of a former army officer with alcoholism named Lebyadkin. He writes letters, complaining that he is marrying Dasha to cover up Stavrogin’s indiscretions.
The marriage allows him to settle a delicate financial issue with his estranged son, Peter. Worried also that Stavrogin may be embroiled in an affair with her protégé, Dasha, Varvara tries to organize a marriage between Dasha and Stepan, much to Stepan’s distress.
He allegedly had a relationship with a young woman named Liza, who is set to return to the local town with her family. After a trip to Switzerland, Varvara is concerned about scandalous rumors surrounding her son’s behavior. He was originally a tutor to her son, Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin. Stepan is in love with Varvara after spending 20 years in her employ. Now, he is employed by a wealthy widow named Varvara Petrovna Stavrogina.
