Poverty and Love Cannot Bind Two People Together

“Oh literature is a wonderful thing, Varenka, a very wonderful thing: I discovered that from being with those people the day before yesterday. It is a profound thing. It strengthens people’s hearts and instructs them, … Literature is a picture, or rather in a certain sense both a picture and a mirror; it is an expression of emotion, a subtle form of criticism, a didactic lesson and a document…” - Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Poor Folk

Varvara Dobroselova and Makar Devushkin are two very poor neighbors. They are in love with each other and write letters to one another. They also exchange books but their condition cannot allow them to marry. Makar is determined to change this and starts saving money. Will he succeed?
