Crime and Punishment — Fyodor Mihailoviç Dostoyevski

Raskolnikov sat down he no longer shivered he was hot all over In amazement he listened with strained attention to Porfiry Petrovitch who still seemed frightened as he looked after him with friendly solicitude But he did not believe a word he said though he felt a strange inclination to believe Porfirys unexpected words about the flat had utterly overwhelmed him ldquo How can it be he knows about the flat then rdquo he thought suddenly ldquo and he tells it me himself rdquo ldquo Yes in our legal practice there was a case almost exactly similar a case of morbid psychology rdquo Porfiry went on quickly ldquo A man confessed to murder and how he kept it up It was a regular hallucination he brought forward facts he imposed upon everyone and why He had been partly but only partly unintentionally the cause of a murder and when he knew that he had given the murderers the opportunity he sank into dejection it got on his mind and turned his brain he began imagining things and he persuaded himself that he was the murderer But at last the High Court of Appeal went into it and the poor fellow was acquitted and put under proper care

in the words of a Russian critic who seeks to explain the feeling inspired by Dostoevsky He was one of ourselves a man of our blood and our bone but one who has suffered and has seen so much more deeply than we have his insight impresses us as wisdom that wisdom of the heart which we seek that we may learn from it how to live Ali his other gifts came to him from nature this he won for himself and through it he became great

Raskolnikov a destitute and desperate former student wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret He imagines himself to be a great man a Napoleon acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck Only Sonya a downtrodden prostitute can offer the chance of redemption
