This applies to Ivan because he wants to forgive Sasha for his mistake. He thinks Sasha has been through enough and shouldn't be punished anymore. This is said indirectly through his words.

"My poor sister!" And he began saying in a subdued voice that most likely his sister, Sasha's mother, was present unseen in the study at that moment. He felt in his soul how the unhappy, saintly woman was weeping, grieving, and begging for her boy. For the sake of her peace beyond the grave, they ought to spare Sasha."( Chekhov, 29) Ivan is persuading the family by bringing up topics they are sensitive to.
