Shrnutí The Possessed: Chapter 7

Co se stane

1. Guests assemble at Virginsky’s house, where a secret five-member group expects information from Verhovensky.
2. Arguments about conventions, family, and religion give way to confused voting that establishes a meeting with Virginsky as chairman.
3. Shigalov presents an unfinished social system that grants freedom to one-tenth of humanity and subjects the rest.
4. Verhovensky dismisses theoretical discussion and draws broad agreement for rapid action without specifying its demands.
5. He asks whether anyone would report a planned political murder, and the responding guests reject informing.
6. Shatov leaves after denouncing Verhovensky; Stavrogin refuses to answer and departs with Kirillov, while Verhovensky follows them.
