Superfluous, indeed...

I might be too used to a nice, clean, Hollywood ending, but this seemed to end abruptly. Many questions unanswered. What was Tchulkaturin’s illness? Why did Liza marry Bizmyonkov? Did she need to marry to cover up some disgrace? (Like carrying the Prince’s child?) The weather mentioned at the beginning of each diary entry did foretell the mood of the entry to follow and of what must’ve been going on in Tchulkaturin’s heart. Good read, but a bit superfluous...
