However, Dmitri's sense of duty and honor towards his fianc�����e compels him to continue his journey, and he sets out once again into the blizzard.As he struggles through the snow, Dmitri becomes increasingly desperate and delirious. He eventually collapses and is rescued by a group of peasants who take him to Katerina's house. However, when he arrives, he finds that Katerina has already married another man.
