Crimes of Passion in Russian Literature (19-21 centuries)

[Sara Stefani]

Also for Zamyatin, see his "The Islanders" (Ostrovitjane). The same theme
appears in his short story "Alatyr'" although the rival isn't killed, but just
threatened. Same thing in "We" - D-503 doesn't kill anyone but he is so
overcome by jealousy and lust that he more or less tries to attack I-330.
