The 'suitor and papa' is the story of a young man Pyotr Petrovich Milkin who spent the whole day with Nastya, one of Kondrashkin's daughters. Seeing this most people thought that Milkin and Nastya would be sure to marry. Milkin's friends started asking him for a stag party(a party was attended only by a man) because they had come to know that Milkin was getting married. But Milkin was not serious about getting married. Well he had been very close with Nastya, eat dinner almost every evening, walked together, and also gave bunches of flowers to her but Milkin had no plans of marrying Nastya. Seeing that his friend's and Nastya’s family would force him to marry the girl who loved him. Then Milkin decided to left the place. So, he goes to Nastya's home to meets her father Kondrashkin. He told him that he would be leaving the place next day. Kondrashkin was shocked. He said that it was unfair. He requested Milkin to propose Nastya.
At this point, Milkin presents a number of reason to run away from the matter. Milkin admitted that he would find no better girl than Nastya if he wished to marry but he said that his conviction and view were different from Nastya. Their view cannot match each other. Kondrashkin counter this argument by saying that all men and women have different views and convictions. He would never meet any women who shared the same views and convictions. Milkin said that he was unworthy for Nastya because he was a poor man. The Kondrashkin reminds Milkin that he was a salaried man. Milkin fails again so he comes with another reason that he was a drunkard. Kondrashkin said that he didn’t believe that Milkin took a drink. At this point, Milkin realized that Kondrashkin was determined to get him married to Nastya. Suddenly he said that he took a bribe. The Kondrashkin reminds Milkin that everyone in this world took a bribe. Milkin feels like being defeated. Next Milkin goes a little more dramatic and said that he could be arrested at any time for robbery. At this kondrashkin goes silent for a while and predicts that Milkin will be sent Siberian jail if he caught. He said that Nastya will follow him to jail as her love is pure.
Milkin now understand that the two were playing the same game – the man was forcing him to marry his daughter at any cost. Milkin brain tinkles once again and he said that he was a runaway convict. Kondrashkin asked Milkin why he had not been arrested yet. Milkin said that he had been living in somebody else identity. Kondrashkin considers it. He was suddenly cheered. He asked Milkin to marry Nastya because he believed that the police would never find him until death. Milkin makes another attempt he said that he was a mad man. Kondrashkin said that mad man cannot argue so logically and sensibly as Milkin did.
Milkin rise and goes out to get a doctor’s certificate to prove his madness. Milkin meets Dr. Fituyev, a psychiatrist. The doctor doesn’t find anything wrong with Milkin. Milkin urges the doctor to certify him mad to avoid getting married. Dr. Fituyev said that he could not certify him because anyone who doesn’t want to get married is a wise man. Dr. Fituyev said that he would give him a metal fitness certificate if he needs. Milkin has no way out. He sits down helpless.
