A quarter of an hour later I was rushing up and down the room in frenzied1 impatience2, from minute to minute I went up to the screen and peeped through the crack at Liza. She was sitting on the ground with her head leaning against the bed, and must have been crying. But she did not go away, and that irritated me. This time she understood it all. I had insulted her finally, but . . . there’s no need to describe it. She realised that my outburst of passion had been simply revenge, a fresh humiliation3, and that to my earlier, almost causeless hatred4 was added now a PERSONAL HATRED, born of envy . . . . Though I do not maintain positively5 that she understood all this distinctly; but she certainly did fully6 understand that I was a despicable man, and what was worse, incapable7 of loving her. I know I shall be told that this is incredible — but it is incredible to be as spiteful and stupid as I was; it may be added that it was strange I should not love her, or at any rate, appreciate her love. Why is it strange? In the first place, by then I was incapable of love, for I repeat, with me loving meant tyrannising and showing my moral superiority. I have never in my life been able to imagine any other sort of love, and have nowadays come to the point of sometimes thinking that love really consists in the right — freely given by the beloved object — to tyrannise over her.
Even in my underground dreams I did not imagine love except as a struggle. I began it always with hatred and ended it with moral subjugation8, and afterwards I never knew what to do with the subjugated9 object. And what is there to wonder at in that, since I had succeeded in so
