English Crime and Punishment John Bickers, Dagny and David Widger "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story delves into the psychological turmoil of its main character, Rodion Raskolnikov, a former student living in extreme poverty in St. Petersburg, as he grapples with morality, guilt, and the nature of crime. Raskolnikov's internal struggles and rationalizations set the stage for a broader exploration of existential questions and the consequences of one's choices. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Raskolnikov, who, on a sweltering July evening, leaves his cramped garret, fueled by a mix of fear and dread. He is acutely aware of his troubled finances, particularly his debts to his landlady, which cultivate a sense of isolation and despair. As he wanders through the city's pungent streets, he reflects on his own cowardice and impotence while contemplating a deeply disturbing act he is contemplating. The opening scene captures Raskolnikov's increasingly fraught mental state, portraying him as both an intellectual and a tormented soul. Eventually, he visits an old pawnbroker, Alyona Ivanovna, where an unsettling encounter begins to unfold, hinting at the drastic actions he is considering.
