‘I told you my general knowledge is poor.’ ‘What have you got if you haven’t got that?
sonya
i feel like this is subtextually saying something about their relationship but idk how. she loves him, partly because though he is an idiot in some regards, she still thinks ‘half of his brain is superior to all the others’ (3.8, i think), but does she still want and expect from him at least some more ‘worldly’ knowledge? at this point, i think he’s learned a lot from their lot. but her wording is interesting, ‘if not that, then what do you have?’ it makes sense for her to value ‘worldly’ knowledge, because she (and the rest of the cast) is a materialist.
