(285 words) Fyodor Ivanovich Dostoevsky created in 1865 a socio-psychological novel, which subsequently provoked controversial opinion among his contemporaries.
The main character of the novel, Rodion Raskolnikov, is in dire need of money. He makes a difficult, but strong-willed decision to take the life of the old woman-interest-agent, who laid things and received money. He understands that people suffer to some extent from her. Rodion is a strong but conscientious person, while thinking about the murder, he develops the theory that people are divided into two categories: “trembling creatures” and “right having”. By killing he wants to prove that he is not a "trembling creature", and he "has a right." With an ax, a young man takes life from an old woman, and also robs her, but an unexpected moment occurs, which Rodion did not have time to calculate, the sister of the mortgage agent returns home. Lizaveta also becomes a victim of a law student. Rodion had no choice, as he thought, to leave the witness alive was not in his plans, but he did not want to kill her either.
After the murder, Raskolnikov’s torment of conscience begins, he ponders over his deeds for a long time and eventually becomes ill. On his life path, many people meet, but the most memorable is Semyon Marmeladov, through whom the student later gets acquainted with Sonya, daughter of Semyon. Raskolnikov wants to give the stolen money to a family that needs it. Sonya is an ordinary girl who has a very difficult life. She is forced to trade her body in order to feed her family. Sonia and Rodion are drawing closer, and it is Sonia, who, from the Bible, returns the young man to the true path. On the path of a kind and strong man who has the strength to confess to murder.
The ending of the novel is based on Rodion’s expulsion to Siberia, where Sonya goes after him. Repentance happened, and justice triumphed.
Of course, Dostoevsky’s great novel cannot be ignored. This is a romance with morality, a philosophy philosophy that teaches how to live and what needs to be done so as not to be a "trembling creature."
