There have been in which 3000 roubles has been used throughout the novel. There are three different accounts in which the 3000 roubles signifies something deeper and this sum of money unifies the novel in the which it brings more insight to the characters.
In the beginning of the novel Dmitry is angry at Fyodor over 3000 roubles. Dmitry believes that his father owes him these 3000 roubles as part of an inheritance. However, Fyodor never really intends to give Fyodor any money. While at the monastery the reader finds out it is because Fyodor believes Dmitry spends his money on foolish things. Those foolish things being prostitutes.
The next issue we see concerning 3000 roubles is when Katerina gives Dmitry 3000 roubles in order to send it to her family in Moscow. However, instead of wiring the 3000 roubles to Moscow, like he promised he would, he spent it on Gruschenka. However, Dmitry sees the urgent need to pay back Katerina and asks Ivan to beg there father for 3000 roubles.
Fyodor is also connected to 3000 roubles. Fyodor has 3000 roubles put away in an envelope to pay Gruschenka. Ivan later finds out from Smerdykov that Fyodor does have 3000 roubles stored away in order to pay Gruschenka.
When looking upon this situation, it is simple to see the rivalry and competition that 3000 roubles represents. You have two people fighting and wasting money on the same person. 3000 roubles simply represents the brothers in their competition and the money they are willing to spend on what makes them happy.
