Decisions of the Conscience in Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and Huckleberry Finn by Twain

Evidence that Raskolnikov was unable to cope with criminal thoughts and possible occurrences appeared before the crime. Raskolnikov is thinking about the crime he is about to commit. Raskolnikov said: "Why should I go there? Can I do this ... Is it serious?" (Dostoevsky) The last two phrases, Raskolnikov it is a crime, it is "1 "The problem he raises is obvious, and he depends on his own conscience to fight his ability to do such things.
