Therefore, in such an environment, people living in poverty begin to have a psychological gap. They will think: "Why is he living better than me? Why is my life so bad?" Are we going to live in such misery? ”

As a result, some of them began to want to fight for their own injustice. They hated those evil capitalists and hated this unfair world.

What's more, they will kill the people they hate. While they call themselves "supermen" who punish bad guys, they feel that they have committed a serious crime because of killing people.

They themselves are contradictory. , can do things that are illegal, so that they not only fail to save the world, but also fail to save themselves.

Raskolnikov is a poor student who likes to hide in his own world and think. He originally went to university in St. Petersburg, but because his family was too poor and had no money to pay tuition, and he was unwilling to do anything Tutoring makes money, but in the end he has no choice but to drop out of school.

After dropping out of school, Raskolnikov huddled in his rented small room every day. He originally thought he could escape reality in this way, but at this time, his landlady was tirelessly urging him to pay the rent.

Desperate, he could only pawn his only valuable ring to an old woman who was a loan shark. The old woman's name was Alyona, and she was a typical profit-seeking businessman. Therefore, Lascoli Nikov received only two rubles.

In Raskolnikov's opinion, the reason why he stayed in his coffin-like hut without eating or talking was because he was thinking about how to change himself. situation.

He has no money, so he can't go to school, let alone pay rent. Because of his low status, he suffers endless abuse from his landlord.

He wants to change the status quo, and also wants to change the poor and miserable people like him.

During the time he stayed in the cabin,

He thought of the great man Napoleon in history. Napoleon was the man who held power. He trampled on the law and killed many people. People, and those he killed, have long since disappeared along with the history of Napoleon becoming a great man.

Raskolnikov felt that he was "Napoleon", so he wanted to fight for himself, fight for the poor and miserable people, and he wanted to kill the rich people who had no value.

After much thought, he chose the old loan shark Alyona as his target.

In order for the murder plan to succeed, Raskolnikov prepared to check the situation in advance, so he took the watch his father left for him before his death and went to the old woman Alyona's shop. He originally wanted to mortgage the property for four rubles, but the old woman only gave him one and a half rubles.

He originally thought that Alyona was a louse, but this transaction made him more sure that Alyona should be killed. So, while Alyona went to get the money, he determined the location where Alyona put the money.

After leaving, Raskolnikov suddenly felt uneasy. Ever since the thought of killing appeared, he felt that his conscience had been condemned. In order to calm his heart, he walked into the A tavern.

He felt that he needed to interact with others to relieve his uneasy mood. So Raskolnikov met Marmeladov.

Marmeladov was a ninth-class civil servant. In addition, he was also an alcoholic. Because of his addiction to alcohol, he was fired from his job as a ninth-class civil servant not long after he started working.

Marmeladov has four children in his family. His biological daughter Sonia did not receive much education. When she was growing up, she was often beaten and scolded by her stepmother Katerina.

Perhaps it was because of the unfair growth environment that Sonia developed a submissive character. Therefore, when her stepmother Katerina scolded her, she remained silent and even complained about her stepmother. Forced by her husband, she became a prostitute that everyone looked down upon.

Even the remuneration received after becoming a prostitute was eventually used by the stepmother to maintain the family's livelihood.

But even though she was such a dedicated person for the whole family, she was still despised by the landlord and other tenants. Sonia had no choice but to endure it all silently,

He left home and went to live in a suite in the tailor Kapenaumov's house. He waited until dark before secretly returning to this home.

Marmeladov actually knew all about Sonia’s experiences.

Moreover, in addition to Sonia, there are three young children in his family who need his care.

Marmeladov knew that his child was suffering, but he still stayed drunk all day long.

He refused to work and stole his wife's stockings in exchange for alcohol. Knowing that his daughter was forced to get a yellow license and could not live with them, he still used his daughter's money to drink.

I don’t go home every day and sleep in homeless places all day and night.

Marmeladov is an irresponsible father, and he actually knows it very well in his own heart. He knew that everything he did was wrong, but he felt painful that he shouldn't drink anymore.

He loves his wife, his daughter, and the three children his wife brought.

He was a widower, living alone with his fourteen-year-old daughter, but he couldn't bear to see his wife suffer, so he proposed to her.

After he married his daughter, he was often abused by his stepmother. He knew very well that he was very tormented by this in his heart. He felt sorry for his daughter and his wife, but he had nothing to do with it. The method, in the final analysis, is still because it is useless.

In order to eliminate the pain in his heart, Marmeladov chose to escape. He used wine to escape reality and relieve the pain. But after he sobered up, he still had to face reality.

In order to eliminate the pain caused by reality, Marmeladov could only continue to drink to drown his sorrows. Therefore, Marmeladov's world also entered an endless loop.

The incident with Marmeladov made Raskolnikov suddenly feel that his murder plan was correct.

What made Raskolnikov determined to kill was the unfair treatment his family suffered.

The day after he came out of the tavern, Raskolnikov received a letter home from his mother. The money Raskolnikov paid when he went to school was actually his mother who combined her small pension and the salary advance from his sister Dunya as a tutor to support him.

But because his sister was insulted when she was a tutor, Raskolnikov stopped receiving money from his mother. That's what the letter said.

Dunya is a kind and beautiful girl, so when Dunya was working as a tutor, she was harassed and courted by the landlord. The landlord’s wife did not know the truth, so she mistakenly thought that Dunya had seduced her. Husband,

While beating Dunya, she insulted Dunya as a bitch. Not only that, the landowner’s wife also told everyone about Dunya’s seduction of her husband door to door.

At this time, Dunya's heart was full of grievances, but she still thought that her mother would not be harmed. She not only endured her grievances to comfort her mother, but also let her mother hide it. Brother, fortunately, in order to protect his own interests, the landowner took out Dunya's letter rejecting him, proving Dunya's innocence.

After the landowner’s wife understood the truth, she knew that she had made a mistake, apologized to Dunya, and explained the facts door to door.

Dunya, who had regained her reputation, finally stopped being reviled and gained the respect of the whole city. However, at this time, Dunya was suddenly attracted by Lu Ren, a distant relative of the landowner's wife.

Dunya agreed to Luzhin's proposal for the sake of her brother, and her mother also agreed because it was beneficial to Raskolnikov.

After reading it, Raskolnikov felt that Lul was like an old woman and firmly opposed Dunya's marriage.

In fact, Raskolnikov's intuition was correct. Luzhin was indeed not a good person. To be precise, he was a despicable person.

Raskolnikov was extremely angry. He felt that he needed to make a difference and hoped to escape from the ranks of ordinary people. He needed to put the murder plan on the agenda, but Raskolnikov Nikov recoiled at the thought of killing someone.

He wanted to take it slow, but unexpectedly, he met another "landowner", and that landowner actually tried to plot against another "Dunya".

When Raskolnikov saw this kind of thing, his first reaction was to provide his own help. But when he heard the policeman lamenting: "This world is really bad," he I feel that my behavior is a bit superfluous.

Raskolnikov huddled in his small coffin-like room again, and he began to debate whether to kill the old woman again.

For this reason, Raskolnikov's body became ill because of his excessive stress.

While half asleep, he saw himself witnessing an accident as a child. It was a scene where a group of drunkards beat an emaciated old horse wildly. The old horse was beaten until blood flowed everywhere. Finally, he could no longer bear the blow and died.

After waking up from the dream, Raskolnikov was so frightened that he was sweating all over, and he began to flinch again.

But at this moment, he saw the more hateful side of the old woman Alyona. It turns out that Alyona is not only a profiteer, but also a villain.

Alyona has a kind sister named Lisaveta. Lisaveta is a kind-hearted woman like Dunya, but her fate is in the hands of her sister. In daily life, he was bullied and insulted by Alyona.

Raskolnikov saw the kindness of Lizaveta, and he finally made up his mind and prepared to kill Alyona.

Raskolnikov held an ax in his hand and knocked on Alyona's door softly. He said that he wanted to pawn something. Alyona poked his head and asked what he wanted. Pawn something.

Raskolnikov asked Alyona to let him into the house. Although Alyona was a little skeptical, she still could not refuse the arrival of the money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Alyona fell, Lizaveta appeared. She looked at everything in front of her in shock, as if she couldn't believe that Raskolnikov had killed someone and was actually standing there. Staying motionless in place.

Although Raskolnikov knew that Lisaveta was a pitiful and kind-hearted woman, in order to protect himself, he finally smashed the ax at Lisaveta.

At this time, Raskolnikov was a little panicked. In the emergency, he did not forget to take away the valuable things from Alyona’s house. At this moment, he heard another set of footsteps. Fortunately, , the two people didn’t stay long before leaving.

Raskolnikov escaped from the scene. He perfectly hid his crime. However, he could not escape the police investigation, but he could not escape the condemnation in his heart. Every time he thought about the scene where he killed someone, he would feel a burst of fear and pain in his heart.

Raskolnikov is contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to protect the "Napoleon" he believes in and prove that what he did is not wrong. The conscience and worldly moral condemnation.

Alyona's death was well deserved, but Lisaveta was implicated. Every time Raskolnikov thought about this, he would feel painful in his heart.

He tried to force himself not to think about this matter, and tried to turn himself into a cold-blooded and cruel "superman", but he failed. He still has love for others in his heart, and he still loves others. Kind people generate sympathy.

At this time, Raskolnikov was already mentally disturbed, but at this time, he witnessed the death of Marmelado with his own eyes.

His kindness prevented him from ignoring the matter, so he used the money sent by his mother to hire a doctor for Marmeladov, but Marmeladov still failed. He held on and passed away.

What is pitiful is Marmeladov's daughter Sonia, the last person with whom she was related by blood, suddenly passed away without any warning.

After this, Raskolnikov's mother and sister finally arrived in Petersburg.

It turned out that Dunya’s fiancé Lul was going to work in Petersburg in the future, so he brought Dunya and her mother to Petersburg. It happened that Lal Kornikov was While attending school in Petersburg, their family could finally get together again.

However, Lul, a hypocritical person, actually let Dunya and her family live in an apartment with extremely poor conditions. Not only that, in Luhr's world view, he despised all poor people and believed that the poor themselves were evil.

All he wanted was a wife who was innocent, beautiful, poor and kind, and could control her as he wished, so he chose Dunya.

Dunya is a person who would rather starve to death than sell her soul. In fact, she does not like this Luzhin at all.

Therefore, she tried her best in Raskolnikov When she opposed Luzhin, Dunya also recognized Luzhin's true hypocrisy, and finally broke off her engagement with Luzhin.

After solving his sister's matter, Raskolnikov's heart was still filled with his "sins". He needed to be liberated, and the secret of murder also needed to be released. However, he Who to tell?

He thought for a long time and chose Sonia, whose fate was similar to his own.

However, what Raskolnikov didn’t know was that Sonia did suffer the most cruel pain in the world like him, but Sonia always believed in God in her heart, so her heart In fact, he is much stronger than Raskolnikov.

After listening to Raskolnikov’s confession, Sonia asked him to surrender. She knew that Raskolnikov’s heart was painful, and she wanted him to truly surrender. In order to free Raskolnikov, she chose to face the punishment with him.

In fact, Raskolnikov simply lacked a decision, so when Sonia asked him to surrender, he decided to surrender.

He still thinks that he is a figure like "Napoleon", and in his heart he still thinks that he has a clear conscience for killing people. What is wrong is that he has not become a figure like "Napoleon".

Raskolnikov was eventually exiled to Siberia, and Sonia, a kind-hearted girl, also went to this place with him.

Sonia's kindness to him suddenly made Raskolnikov completely awaken. He discovered that his actions were just selfish things with noble purposes.

But Sonia was different. Fundamentally, Sonia was a girl who would rather sacrifice herself than hurt others. Therefore, when Sonia took good care of him and accompanied him, he woke up.

Even though he treated Sonia roughly in the beginning in order not to admit his mistakes, he was no longer on guard in his heart. He already felt dependent on Sonia, and he understood I fell in love with this kind woman.

For this reason, Raskolnikov finally regained his life, gave up his belief in becoming the next "Napoleon", and turned to believe in the God that Sonia followed.

To put it simply, the author of the novel Crime and Punishment is not questioning personal sin at all, but the kindness hidden under the sin. The kinder the person is, the more obvious the pain will be.

Dostoyevsky attributed the answer to evil to religion, but he did not answer how people should face evil or how to solve evil.

In fact, the author himself may not be able to give it, because the sins of the poor stem from the "sins" in social reality.
