Katya

Dmitry is totally a scoundrel. He not only spends the money Katya gave him to mail to Moscow, but spends it with the woman he loves. Dmitry isn't even man enough to tell Katya himself that he doesn't want to be with her either. He was a scoundrel when Katya came to his room for money earlier on in the novel when Katya's father was in trouble.

Katya gave 3000 roubles to Dmitry to send in the mail to Agafya Ivanovna who lived in Moscow. Instead Dmitry ended up at with Grushenka and together they went to Mokroye. Later on Dmitry had told Katya that he had raced to the capital and sent the money and would soon give her the postal receipt. It's malicious of Dmitry to spend Katya's money on the woman he loves since Katya loves him. He's turning his back to Katya and the few morals he might have had to spend time with Gruschenka. (119)

Alyosha was sent to tell some news to Katya even though he had only met her once before. Dmitry is such a baby he's making his brother tell Katya about the money and about Gruschenka. He's the one who got himself into this mess; he should be the one to get himself out. Katya also deserves to be told to her face by Dmitry how he feels about her and what he did with the money. It's a sign of respect.

Before Katya and Dmitry were engaged is when he was the most dishonorable. When Dmitry found out some inside information about the General, Katya's father, he immediately used it as a plan to get revenge against Katya. He was upset with her because she had given him the snuff at a picnic. The general was having money issues so Dmitry offered to give the family money if Katya came over to get it. It totally belittled Katya and Dmitry only did it because Katya hadn't been into him at a picnic.n(111-112)
