I’m like a child now, you must forgive me everything.’
I should probably try and say something about all the emphasis on her childlike nature but честно гоорят, I am stuck at that too. I don’t think it is possible to divine the meaning at this point of the novel, and it is unfortunate because it will never be settled. My best guess is that, like the Brothers Karamazov (this is Dostoyevsky’s first tale f the suffering of children), Alexandra M. is the ‘second party’ of suffering children. She is the party of overgrown children.
