Dostoevsky c&p RASKOLNIKOV Sonya suffering quotes themes

shared by Susan Bistrican on 29 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • [Raskolnikov] had to tell her [Sonia] who had killed Lizaveta. He knew the terrible suffering it would be to him and, as it were, brushed away the thought of it. (5.4.1) Raskolnikov knows that confessing, the act of speaking his crimes, causes him to suffer – yet, he can't stop doing it. He needs to tell. The suffering of telling is less than the suffering of not telling.
  • [Raskolnikov:] "They say it is necessary for me to suffer! What's the object of these senseless sufferings? Shall I know any better what they are for, when I am crushed by hardships and idiocy, and weak as an old man after twenty years' penal servitude?" (6.8.75) Here Raskolnikov is questioning the high premium everybody places on suffering as he debates whether or not to turn himself in, and submit to prison. Also notice that he thinks he'll get at least twenty years in prison, but he only gets eight.

Pre-Crime oslo norway Breivik Dick c&p

shared by Susan Bistrican on 29 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • One of the most striking facts about the recent Oslo massacre and bombing by an extremist 32-year-old Norwegian was the sheer amount of pre-meditation that went into the grisly act.
  • There is somehow an unsettling notion that all of these senseless deaths could have been prevented had all the facts been considered ahead of time.
  • If Dostoevsky were to have written his masterpiece Crime and Punishment in the 21st century, Fyodor Mikhailovich - himself accused of a crime and sent to a firing squad in Siberia - would surely have reversed the plot line of the story. The inspector Porfiry would surely have detected Raskolnikov hours - if not days - before his murder of the old pawnbroker in her St. Petersburg apartment. Instead of Raskolnikov slowly but surely submitting to the guilt and terror of having commited the crime after the fact, he would have surely posted his Nietzschean superman manifesto online -- and maybe even tweeted about it -- a few hours beforehand. Without a single violent act being committed, the police authorities would have initiated his arrest and put his eventual Siberian exile into motion. But at what cost to the moral fabric of society?

    An article discussion the notion of "pre-crime" as referenced in Philip K. Dick's _The Minority Report_. The writer argues that if C&P were written in the 21st century, it could be possible to have stopped the crime before it was committed. This is also in relation to the recent terrorist attacks in Oslo, Norway and Anders Behring Breivik's premeditation of the crime.

Dostoevsky c&p themes RASKOLNIKOV

shared by Susan Bistrican on 29 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • The best example of this is that its lead character, Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov, is not a realistic villain, but an archetype- and really a symbol. The sound of his name connotes his being a rascal or rapscallion, and in Russian raskolnik even means to be divided, or schismatic. His swings between guilt and mendacious evil are better seen as devices serving the drama of the narrative than as any true portrait of a sociopath- be it a modern serial killer, a gangster, or any other form.

  • Russian word for “crime” is “prestuplenie” which in direct translation means “stepping over”. “Stepping over the line” is also one of the phrases used by Raskolnikov in his “Louse or Napoleon” theory.

  • Crime and Punishment also portrays the dilemma of the Russian intellectual in the nineteenth-century. Dostoyevsky shows how Raskolnikov is corrupted by moral scepticism. The novel exposes the bankruptcy of intellectual or ideological arguments which lack moral concern or compassion.

  • The following morning, Raskolnikov visits Porfiry Petrovich at the police department, supposedly in order to turn in a formal request for his pawned watch. As they converse, Raskolnikov starts to feel again that Porfiry is trying to lead him into a trap. Eventually, he breaks under the pressure and accuses Porfiry of playing psychological games with him. At the height of tension between them, Nikolai, a workman who is being held under suspicion for the murders, bursts into the room and confesses to the murders. On the way to Katerina Ivanovna’s memorial dinner for Marmeladov, Raskolnikov meets the mysterious man who called him a murderer and learns that the man actually knows very little about the case.

  • The Raskolnikov Project is an idea that has been bouncing around in my mind for a long time – a contemporary YA novel heavily influenced by Dostoevsky’s masterpiece, Crime & Punishment.

raskolnikov c&p character

shared by Susan Bistrican on 27 Jul 11 - Cached
  • Raskolnikov is a young ex-student of law living in extreme poverty in Saint Petersburg. He lives in a tiny garret which he rents, although due to a lack of funds has been avoiding payment for quite some time (he claims the room aggravates his depression).
  • Raskolnikov murders a pawnbroker, Alyona Ivanovna, with an axe he stole from a janitor's woodshed, with the intention of using her money for good causes, based on a theory he had developed of the "great man". Raskolnikov believed that people were divided into the "ordinary" and the "extraordinary": the ordinary are the common rabble, the extraordinary (notably Napoleon or Muhammad) must not follow the moral codes that apply to ordinary people since they are meant to be great men.

    "Galavin's works are powerful statements of expression and emotion, such as the picture above, an illustration from Dostoyevsky's novel _Crime and Punishment_. The lithograph shown depicts Marmeladov coming home to the squalor that his wife and children must live in because of his excesses. Accompany him is Raskolnikov who at same time is appalled but fascinated at what he sees. 'When I read Crime and Punishment and came to this scene I immediately took out pen and paper to translate my emotions into picture. As in Shakespeare words 'Has much to do with hate, but more with love' the scene shows every man's tug of war with the story we call life.' This picture, among others, was on exhibit in Europe and now exists as a Fine Art Lithograph in limited edition. This detailed lithograph is available for a price of $125.00 - the measurements are 17x22." -- http://www.angelfire.com/ga/lithograph/
