Crime and Punishment
About This Novel
The novel describes a college student, Raskolnikov, who was forced to drop out of the law department due to poverty and struggled to survive on the financial support of his mother and sister. He arrogantly thought he could act as a judge in this dark reality, so he killed a social pest - the loan shark pawnshop owner, and in panic, he killed the other's sister. After committing this murder, he was in an extremely painful conflict and could not shake off his fear. He tried to convince himself that killing the man was just and a great effort for his ideals, but he could not calm his conscience. In the end, inspired by the prostitute Sonia, he chose to surrender to the police and was sentenced to eight years of exile in Siberia. Soon Sonia also arrived there, the two began to fall in love, and Raskolnikov was reborn. "Crime and Punishment" is not only Dostoevsky's masterpiece, but also represents the highest level of Russian literature. The accurate grasp and description of reality and human nature, as well as the profound pursuit and understanding of grace and redemption, make it transcend cultural boundaries and spread widely around the world.

Raskolnikov & Svidrigailov They are my two favorite characters I draw two conclusions from this book: 1. As long as people live and have thoughts and activities, they will have pain, and of course they will also have other emotions. This is also the characteristic that distinguishes humans from animals. Therefore, no one is happy all the time and no one is beautiful all the time. Don't be fooled by the appearances of others. 2. There are external and internal judgments on whether people are guilty or not. Some people are not guilty, but they have no peace of mind and criticize themselves from the heart. Then they also define themselves as sinners. Some people are guilty but do not think they are guilty, so external punishment is also a means. Of course, if this person has no conscience and conscience, then you will not be able to judge him. If there is a sin, poverty may be the original sin.
