Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment

Sin and punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "Sin and Punishment" allows readers to suffer from homicide by looking at the hearts of criminals. The focus of Dostoevsky's novel is neither crime nor punishment, but between the two. Dostoevsky also vividly depicts the poor living environment and situation of St. Petersburg. Dostoevsky uses a unique description term - Raskolnikov that puts the reader's view at the heart of the murderer.

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.

Rodion Romanović Raskolnikov, the leading role of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "crime and punishment", believes that there are two types of people in the world. And extraordinary people. This philosophy is the foundation of Rascolnikov's life. All his decisions are based on this belief, for example, he decided to kill pawn shops, Alyona Ivanovna. Raskolnikov believes that his moment in the novel is beyond the law. He regarded himself as an unusual person at the beginning of the book, but in the end he thought he was just an ordinary person. Laskolnikov's idea is similar in some respects to Dostoevsky, but in other respects it is similar. However, as many philosophers have developed a similar theory, the theories of ordinary people and extraordinary people are not new theories.
