The British BBC named "Crime and Punishment" as one of "the 100 greatest novels of all time". Yu Hua: When I was 20 years old, I read Dostoyevsky for the first time. I read "Crime and Punishment" day and night. Dostoyevsky's narrative was like a bomber, dropping a bunch of bombs on my thoughts and emotions, making me dizzy at the age of 20. During that time, when I read the works of other writers, I felt they were bland. I thought, what the hell is this? Why didn't I feel anything? In the history of human literature, "Crime and Punishment" reveals all the secrets of the human soul with a cruel inner confession.

I feel that in this book, there is no exact hit, but you can always find some similarities with yourself!

You can't just talk but not do. If you get used to talking but not doing, people around you will also habitually think that you are a person who only talks but doesn't do anything. Over time, a vicious circle will form, which is extremely bad. If you want to do something, you have to work hard to do it. Saying it is just to give yourself a hint to start taking action.

Suffering gives rise to thoughts

A classic that will be passed down forever, Dostoevsky's description of human psychological activities is meticulous and the characteristics of the characters are vivid on the page. Raskolnikov went from being an unrealistic delusional to returning to real life because of love after going through a series of psychological struggles and self-talk. His views are thought-provoking: Can people be divided into "ordinary people" and "extraordinary people"? Do "extraordinary people" have the power to control life and death? "For example, even human legislators and founders of rules and regulations, from ancient times to later Lashechus, Solon, Muhammad, Napoleon, etc., Are all criminals without exception. The only reason is that when they formulate new laws and regulations, they also destroy the ancient laws that are recognized by the world as sacrosanct and passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, they will not stop in the face of bloodshed, as long as bloodshed can help them succeed." "Everyone is killing, the world is bleeding, and has been bleeding since time immemorial, flowing like a waterfall, spraying like champagne. That is why this murderer was crowned in the Capitol and later honored as the benefactor of mankind. I myself also want to benefit people and do thousands of good things to make up for this stupid thing. This is not even a stupid thing, but just a clumsy behavior, because this idea is not at all like it is now. It looked so stupid when I failed... I did this stupid thing just to make myself independent, take the first step, raise enough funds, and then make up for it with countless good things... However, I didn't even survive the first step, because I am a villain! But I still can't agree with your point of view: if I succeed, I will be crowned, and now I am trapped!" Sonia, a skinny girl with a strong heart, has experienced so many hardships and is always full of hope for life and has never given up her faith. Although Dunya does not occupy a large space in the whole novel, she is the most charming person in the whole novel. She is beautiful, generous, considerate, brave and decisive. Svidrigailov is a prodigal, a heroic figure who dares to love, hate, and is romantic. Porfiry is a clever and cunning investigator, but he also keeps his word. There is another important thought throughout the whole article, which is: one should suffer, suffering is a great act, and suffering leads to thoughts. Whether it is Sonia, Dunya, or Raskolnikov, they all eventually became ordinary but extraordinary people through suffering.

When I first watched the beginning, I was shocked. When I read the text, a picture automatically appeared in my mind, and the character's sense of cowardice and inner cowardice seemed to have really happened to me. It's not an exaggeration to say that I was there

The complexity of the human heart and the uniqueness of thought

The torment of the soul, the extremely complicated heart, both the environment and the heart affected Raskolnikov, but the process did continue from being isolated from others to falling in love with Sonia. Even at the last moment, when Raskolnikov went downstairs, he saw the despair on Sonia's face again. He smiled bitterly and returned upstairs again. It was undeniable that Sonia was almost an angel accompanying Raskolnikov. Svidrigailov almost foresaw Raskolnikov's only two path, Vladimir Avenue or self-commitment. But does he himself have no sin and therefore only commit suicide?

I also had the dilemma of not having a penny, and I had the same mentality as the protagonist, except that I didn't pick up the ax, I walked to the river.

It seems that I haven't written a book review for a long time, and I haven't even settled down to read a book for a long time. In this era of rapid transmission and change of information, few people can calm down and read the text. In fact, the purpose of writing a book review is not to write about my feelings about the book, but rather to write down some of my current thoughts or thoughts after reading the book. In short, I still like this book, but I don't recommend it to people who are impatient, because they will not be able to read it; nor do they recommend it to people with dangerous ideas, because they are afraid of imitating it.

Life does not require repentance, but rather reflection

The established facts are not the truth. The crux of the right and wrong of the crime is also a crusade against self-spiritual exile. Human beings live in sin, but they try their best to be freed through divine and transcendent love, trying to cleanse the "awe-inspiring justice", but in the end they are still stuck in the quagmire.

If you feel you have done something wrong to the other person, you will easily feel guilty when facing the other person. There is nothing you can do about it. After all, the other person is the one who really decides where you want to live. You can only realize your dream earlier.
