Salvation Through Human Suffering in Crime and Punishment

Through human salvation and punishment, "Everyone must suffer, without such pain, I can not be saved" (Boland, page 4). Every character in the novel experiences some kind of internal or external pain. The main character Raskolnikov must overcome his confrontation, grow and realize this to achieve the inner peace of the redemption. Dostoevsky's attention and focus is on why pain must exist and how to overcome it. This is considered true as only a fraction of the six parts of the novel are focused on crime and the remaining five are focused on Raskolnikov's journey to overcome the pain.

In "crime and punishment", Raskolnikov is a thesis, a symbol of goodwill, Svidri Gallov is evil and pain, the opposite of the microcosm and reality. In this case, the battle of good and evil will be saved or integrated - Sonya, this is the representative and key of the rescue of Raskolnikov. This method can also be seen from the main concentration of Dostoevsky. In this respect, a crime can be regarded as a symbol of good intentions. Raskolnikov killed Alyona as she was showing evil in society. Because her death is blessing and good for the world, he believes his crime is reasonable.

Punishment can be regarded as a painful reality. Only when he committed a crime Raskolnikov noticed that everyone was in fact suffering. What is important is not to avoid this pain but to overcome it. Redemption can be seen as a result of redemption and pain termination - crime and punishment. This analysis also shows Hegel's theoretical view as the novel moves linearly. Sin (thesis) contains the first part of the novel, punishment (opposite) is shown in Sections II-VI, and salvation (synthesis) is introduced into the conclusion. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) does not believe in the suffering of all people.
