Enter the world of Raskolnikov, a man whose utilitarian moral convictions run so deep that he is willing to kill for it. When Raskolnikov plots to murder a local pawnbroker and pariah, he believes to have both solved his financial problems and helped the world by getting rid of a worthless parasite. His Napoleonic tendencies drive him towards further madness as he reaches a point where he is no longer able to empathize with normal human beings, having truly lost it all. In this tale, Dostoevsky brings in several religious and philosophical themes that are still explored in literature and the humanities to this day. It is a classic work of exceeding brilliance, certain to entertain even the most inquisitive of minds.
Is it right to kill a man who is nothing but a thief and scoundrel himself? Crime and Punishment forces us to look more analytically at the way we take care of our criminals. There is this tendency towards righteousness in the modern justice system that is best exemplified by punishments such as the death penalty. Dostoevsky is trying to get us to ask ourselves if we feel any better at the end of the day when another man is forced to die for the sake of justice. He wants us to look at ourselves in the mirror when we react to crime. Are we more connected to our fellow humans, or less? Are we even capable of empathy?
