The father counters, alleging Dmitri deceived another woman, Katerina, and is only interested in Grushenka's affections. Tensions rise as both father and son vie for Grushenka. Dmitri, angered, attacks his father, threatening him. Brothers Ivan and Alyosha intervene. Ivan, an intellectual nihilist, opposes their father but rejects violence.
