Pure intellectual torture...Great literature, mediocre philosophy*****
Fydor Dostoyevsky develops the Russian modern literary/ philosophy theory in his early novel "Crime and Punishment".
The discourse of the novel runs through the moral implication of morality and society...
The morality therefore becomes saturated with propaganda that the criminal is actaully a victim of magnified guilt.
However, he and the prostitute represents oppressed members of a religiously stereotyping society.
His fears, visions, hopes and dreams become your own.
If you can stand the sheer monotony of a volume of emotion, you will read a truly classic novel.
Therefore, Dostoyevsky blurs the truth of law and religion by staining the absolute evil of a moral guilt.★★★★★
