Crime and Punishment - Raskolnikov's Extraordinary Man Theory

Crime and punishment - In the temporary theoretic novel "sin and punishment" of Las Colignikov, the hero's Las Colinikov was unconsciously published through an article entitled "Crime". His views on crime and punishment. Porfiry, who was trying to link Raskolnikov to the murder case, found and read the article, he told Raskolnikov that he was very interested in understanding his thoughts. Porfiry led Raskolnikov to this conversation mainly to learn more about the possibility that Raskolnikov is involved in criminal activity.

In "crime and punishment", Raskolnikov built up the theory: everyone is divided into "normal" and "abnormal". This special person should have the right to destroy a few people to inform everyone of his thoughts; however, ordinary people do not have the right to violate the law. He believes himself abnormal as he believes this theory is an idea that must be known to all mankind; however, there are many incidents proving that Rascolnikov is not special. While Laskolinikov visited the police station to regain his promise, he and Porfiry began a dialogue including theory. Porfiry expressed concern about mistaking himself as ordinary people are extraordinary. Raskolnikov replied, "... sometimes it may be possible to teach their own position by escaping their fantasies with them ... (244)"

According to Raskornikov's theory of "crime and punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky, there are two kinds of people coexisting in the world: "extraordinary" and "ordinary". Ordinary people can define (248) that "men must live obediently and they are normal and there is no right to violate the law because they are normal." On the other hand, "special" people are "those who have the right to commit any crime and violate the law just because they are extraordinary" (248). The theory of Dostoyevsky is reflected in the character of his novel.

In the novel "Sin and punishment", the so-called "very ordinary people" theory of Rascurvicoff plays an important role and has established a special excuse for the crime committed. Raskolnikov is a psychological and physical illness due to lack of crime and food. Since Raskolnikov considers him to be regarded as an exception, he should be exempt from the law imposed on humans by the public. Raskolnikov wrote this theory two months ago as Article 5, On Crime Part 3, Chapter 5. Basically this theory makes him believe that he has the right to murder Alyona Ivanovna - pawn breaker
