The Marmeladovs' Lodging

Also known as Marmeladov's lodging, Kozel's house, the Marmeladovs' room.

The rented room where Katerina Ivanovna, the children, and Marmeladov live under Amalia Lippevechsel's authority. It is never fully private: neighbours, debt, illness, noise, and humiliation keep entering with every opened door.

Part II, Chapter VI

Marmeladov is carried back here to die, turning the poor room into a crowded deathbed.

Part V, Chapter II

The memorial dinner turns the lodging into a grotesque social stage for Katerina's pride and Amalia's resentment.

Part V, Chapter V

After eviction, the family's misery spills out of the room and into the street.
