The Theme of Duality in Crime and Punishment

The theme of duality of crime and punishment In the theme of Dostoevsky's "crime and punishment", the theme of duality has passed most of the novels. There are two kinds of conflicts: one is a conflict between a disillusioned individual and his world, and the other is a conflict (Walsh) between an isolated soul and his conscience. The internal contradiction of the hero Raskolnikov is the focus of most of the novel. Raskolnikov's dual character often conflicts with each other, causing internal conflicts he experiences and bringing himself personal penalties.

Crime and punishment have obvious starting points. The novel is organized in six parts. The concept of "essential duality" in "sin and punishment" has been commented and suggests that the book has some degree of symmetry. Edward Wasiorek believes that Dostoevsky is a skilled craftman who is familiar with the official model of his art. Among the dominant, reasonable and proud Raskolnikov: IV-VI department, emerging "unreasonable" humble Raskolnikov. The first half of the novel shows a gradual death of the first rule of his personality; in the second half of the year, the principle of the new rule was gradually born. The key to change is in the middle of the novel.

There are many themes in this book, but one of the most famous themes in this book is the question of duality. Stevenson described this duality in almost all roles, mainly by Dr. Henry Jekyll of the main character. Characters, scenes, atmosphere, etc. are all contradictory. Dr. Jekyll 's role is deeply multifaceted. He is a typical Victorian gentleman who used to be a "pink ritual". He always wants the best, and is a very refined person, and he also has a good taste of art. He is a "smooth face" and "a cheerful person", but the history of his life is crumpled. But Jekyll ultimately ruined his weakness as his desire for a good reputation paying him a high price. In addition, his ambitious personality may be the cause of his professional destruction, he is very bold and always doing unusual things

Stevenson's book considers the dual nature of humanity, aspects of all of us good and evil. I am analyzing the impact of emphasizing so many parties. The theme of duality in the novel dominates the novel. The theme is a very powerful explanation of the contradiction between external respect and internal desire of the 19th century, and it also plays an important role in the author's life. We see the theme drawn by Dr. Jekyll when trying to separate the two "elements" of mankind. This theme is mainly seen by Dr. Jekyll and Haid and the public image of Dr. Jekyll is one of "respected doctor and chemist" and is respected by all who he contacts. He was well educated because he was born in a wealthy family
