Keri's fifth post

In the next pages of "Notes from the Underground" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the narrator shows his harsh side. He randomly meets a woman named Liza and finds himself in a room with her. He discovers that Liza may have had a detrimental childhood since she is reluctant to move back into her father's home. Sensing her reluctance, the narrator goes on with a long diatribe about loving mothers and fathers having children. What started as a seemingly innocent and loving tale quickly turns into something that is abusive. I was appalled when reading some of the things he said to her. He basically told her that if she did not live the way he thinks is right, she would die and no one would care about her death. As a girl, I could only imagine what something like that could do to Liza's self esteem. I read further to discover that I was correct in my assumptions. She almost goes crazy and in my opinion, takes it way too far by biting her hand.
Overall, I found it quite interesting that the narrator was so quick to judge this random girl when he himself is constantly looking for respect and acceptance.
