The theme of Petersburg was set in Russian literature by Pushkin. It is in his "The Bronze Horseman", in "The Queen of Spades" that we encounter a two-faced city: the beautiful, mighty St. Petersburg, the creation of Peter, and the city of poor Eugene, a city whose very existence turns into a tragedy for a small person. In the same way, Gogol's Petersburg is two-faced: a brilliant fantastic city is sometimes hostile to a person whose fate can be broken on the streets of the northern capital. Sad Petersburg Nekrasov - Petersburg front […]

“Beauty will save the world,” wrote F. M. Dostoevsky in his novel The Idiot. This beauty, which is capable of saving and transforming the world, Dostoevsky was looking for throughout his entire creative life, therefore, in almost every of his novels there is a hero who contains at least a particle of this beauty.

In the novel “Crime and Punishment”, F. M. Dostoevsky showed the tragedy of a person who sees many contradictions of his era and, having completely entangled himself in life, creates a theory that runs counter to the main human laws. Raskolnikov's idea that there are people - "trembling creatures" and "having the right" finds a lot of refutation in the novel. And perhaps the most striking exposure of this idea is the image of Sonechka Marmeladova. It was this heroine who was destined to share the depth of all mental anguish […]
The theme of the "little man" is one of the central themes in Russian literature. Pushkin (The Bronze Horseman), Tolstoy, and Chekhov touched on it in their works. Continuing the traditions of Russian literature, especially Gogol, Dostoevsky writes with pain and love about the "little man" living in a cold and cruel world. The writer himself remarked: "We all came out of Gogol's Overcoat." The theme of the "little man", "humiliated and offended" was particularly strong in Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. One […]
The human soul, its suffering and torment, pangs of conscience, moral decline, and the spiritual rebirth of man have always interested F. M. Dostoevsky. In his works there are many characters endowed with a truly quivering and sensitive heart, people who are kind by nature, but for one reason or another found themselves on a moral bottom, who lost respect for themselves as individuals or lowered their souls morally. Some of these heroes never rise to their former level, but become real […]

The origins of the novel date back to the time of F.M. Dostoevsky. On October 9, 1859, he wrote to his brother from Tver: “In December I will start a novel ... Don’t you remember, I told you about one confession-novel that I wanted to write after all, saying that I still need to go through it myself. The other day I made up my mind to write it at once. All my heart with blood will rely on this novel. I conceived it in penal servitude, lying on the bunk, in a difficult moment of sadness and self-decomposition...” Initially, Dostoevsky conceived to write Crime and Punishment in […]
The novel by F. M. Dostoevsky is called "Crime and Punishment". Indeed, there is a crime in it - the murder of an old pawnbroker, and punishment - a trial and hard labor. However, for Dostoevsky the main thing was the philosophical, moral trial of Raskolnikov and his inhuman theory. Raskolnikov's recognition is not completely connected with the debunking of the very idea of the possibility of violence in the name of the good of mankind. Repentance comes to the hero only after his communication with Sonya. But what then makes Raskolnikov go to the police […]
The theme of the "little man" was continued in F. M. Dostoevsky's social, psychological, philosophical reasoning novel "Crime and Punishment" (1866). In this novel, the theme of the "little man" sounded much louder. The scene of action is “yellow Petersburg”, with its “yellow wallpaper”, “bile”, noisy dirty streets, slums and cramped courtyards. Such is the world of poverty, unbearable suffering, the world in which sick ideas are born in people (Raskolnikov's theory). Such pictures appear one after another […]
Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment" can be read and re-read several times and always find something new in it. Reading it for the first time, we follow the development of the plot and ask ourselves questions about the correctness of Raskolnikov's theory, about Saint Sonechka Marmeladova and about the "cunning" of Porfiry Petrovich. However, if we open the novel a second time, other questions arise. For example, why exactly those and not other characters are introduced by the author into the narrative, and what role they play in this whole story. This role for the first […]
Gloomy and hopeless, filled with bottomless wells of need, guilt, shame and sin - this is how the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment" appears to the debutant reader. Like most of the works of this great (without exaggeration and flattery) author, the action takes place in St. Petersburg. The place of action cannot but affect everyone, without exceptions. On the faces of heroes, pale, weather-worn, consumptive. In the courtyards-wells, ominous, dark, pushing to suicide. On the weather, forever damp and […]
There are many color symbols in the works of F. M. Dostoevsky. They are quite common in the novel Crime and Punishment. It is the color that helps to understand the state of mind of the characters in the work. The most common color on the pages of the novel is yellow. This is the “yellow wallpaper” in the room of Raskolnikov and other heroes. "Yellowed Katsaveyka" by Alena Ivanovna. Sonya has a “yellow ticket”. Luzhin has a ring with a yellow stone. Yellow furniture, yellow face, yellow frames, yellow sugar. The feeling of such a color […]
The novel "Crime and Punishment" is a work in which the thoughts and feelings of people come into conflict, in which ideological theory stumbles upon life practice. Dostoevsky managed to reflect the degree of influence of the enthusiasm for the ideas of the revolutionary transformation of society and the theory of individualism on the youth of his day. Thanks to his creative instinct and deep knowledge of human psychology, the writer was able to tell in his work about how detrimentally […]

The meaning of the image of Sonya Marmeladova in the novel "Crime and Punishment" Sonya Marmeladova for Dostoevsky is the same as Tatyana Larina for Pushkin. We see the author's love for his heroine everywhere. We see how he admires her, speaks of God, and somewhere even protects her from misfortunes, no matter how strange it sounds. Sonya is a symbol, a divine ideal, a sacrifice in the name of saving humanity.

Attention

Raskolnikov is surrounded in the novel by characters who are, as it were, his “doubles”: in them, some side of the protagonist’s personality is reduced, parodied or shaded. Thanks to this, the novel turns out to be not so much a trial of a crime as (and this is the main thing) a trial of the personality, character, psychology of a person, which reflected the features of Russian reality of the 60s of the last century: the search for truth, truth, heroic aspirations, "staggering" , "delusions".

Rodion Raskolnikov is associated with many people in the work. One of them is Luzhin and Svidrigailov, who are the “twins” of the protagonist, because they created theories similar to the theory of the “chosen ones” and “trembling creatures”.

“We are one field of berries,” Svidrigailov says to Rodion, emphasizing their similarities. Svidrigailov, one of the most complex images of Dostoevsky, is in captivity of a false theory.

Raskolnikov and Svidrigailov: comparative characteristics of the heroes

The hero of the novel, Rodion Raskolnikov, became a prisoner of this idea. The author of the work, wishing to portray the immoral idea of the protagonist, shows its utopian result on the images of "twins" - Svidrigailov and Luzhin.

Raskolnikov explains the establishment of social justice by force as "blood according to conscience." The writer further developed this theory. Svidrigailov and Luzhin exhausted the idea of abandoning "principles" and "ideals" to the end.

One has lost his bearings between good and evil, the other preaches personal gain - all this is the logical conclusion of Raskolnikov's thoughts. It is not for nothing that Rodion replies to Luzhin’s selfish reasoning: “Bring to the consequences what you just preached, and it turns out that people can be cut.”
In his work Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky convinces us that the struggle between good and evil in the human soul does not always end in the victory of virtue.

He, like Raskolnikov, rejected public morality and wasted his life on entertainment. Svidrigailov, guilty of the death of several people, forced his conscience to be silent for a long time, and only a meeting with Dunya awakened some feelings in his soul.

The image of Rodion Raskolnikov in the novel "Crime and Punishment" In the world-famous novel "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, the image of Rodion Raskolnikov is central.
The reader perceives what is happening precisely from the point of view of this character - an impoverished and degraded student. Already on the first pages of the book, Rodion Romanovich behaves strangely: he is suspicious and anxious.

Small, completely insignificant, it would seem, incidents he perceives very painfully.

Raskolnikov's "doubles" (Luzhin and Svidrigailov), their role in the novel "Crime and Punishment"

The novel "Crime and Punishment" was written during the storms and upheavals of the post-reform period, when all the contradictions and contrasts appeared in society in the most vivid form. Everywhere the morality of robbery and enrichment was cynically proclaimed as the principle of a "new" morality. However, Dostoevsky retained faith in humanity, in the victory of the age-old principles of morality. The writer vividly reflected the turning point of his era through the most subtle analysis of the mental makeup of the personality, deeply penetrating into the contradictions of thought, consciousness, and the entire spiritual life of a person contemporary to him.
In the center of the novel is Rodion Raskolnikov and his theory about the permissiveness of the elect. And all the events and characters are designed to reflect the pernicious essence of this theory, to revive the grain of humanity in the soul of the hero. The main goal of his work, F. M. Dostoevsky set precisely the demonstration and proof of the inconsistency, the falsity of Raskolnikov's theory. The author sought to bring his hero to the realization of his own delusion. This goal is served by the whole system of images of the work. Every face, conversation, meeting here plays an important role in the spiritual evolution of the hero. Very important in this sense are the images of Raskolnikov's twins - Svidrigailov and Luzhin. Svidrigailov, who has rich life experience, guesses the meaning of Rodion's crime and the reasons that pushed him to kill. But the "high motives" of the hero are alien to him, he openly laughs at them. A libertine and a cynic, even without any theories, he constantly violates all human laws, norms, and customs. And, unlike Raskolnikov, he is not at all tormented by remorse. However, for all his depravity, we see that he is in a state of some kind of mental instability and anxiety, Svidrigailov smells of confusion, emptiness and hopelessness. Apparently, he himself is aware of his doom, which leads him to suicide.
Faced with Svidrigailov, Raskolnikov is horrified, as he sees in him the real implementation of his own ideas. He wants to better understand this person, as this can help him understand himself, find differences, see the origins of his
pain and doubt.
But if Raskolnikov feels some strange craving for Svidrigailov, then his attitude towards Luzhin is completely different. This businessman, whose life principles are based only on selfish calculation, causes Raskolnikov's disgust and contempt. Even from his mother's letter, he unmistakably guesses the vile nature of Luzhin. However, with all this, during a meeting with him, Rodion, to his own horror, notices an obvious similarity. Between them, no doubt, there is something in common, some points of contact. This commonality lies in the views, in the confession of certain principles of "the latest economic science." Raskolnikov sees a reflection of his own thoughts in Luzhin's statement that it is necessary to discard any moral duty of the individual to other people. “... By acquiring solely and exclusively for myself, I acquire it, as it were, for everyone ...,” says Luzhin, “and this will, in his understanding, be a guarantee of “universal prosperity ...” Rodion understands that these words nothing more than a reduced, vulgarized version of his own theory. Realizing this, the hero begins to feel the same disgust for himself that he feels for this low businessman.
Thus, faced with these two characters, whose way of thinking, as in a distorted mirror, reflects his own thoughts and ideas, the hero is convinced of what terrible consequences his theory of the right of the “chosen ones” to “permissiveness” can lead to in practice, what actions can be justified by this theory of the division of all mankind into two categories. The preaching of a reasonable "calculation of benefits", presented in the novel, plays into the hands of Luzhin and Svidrigailov, it justifies bourgeois self-will, "the arbitrariness of the individual rational ability of everyone, regardless of the level of his intellectual, emotional and moral culture." People like Luzhin and Svidrigailov easily trivialize and adapt this ethical theory to their petty selfish interests. And this is the first sign of its imperfection, unviability. Now the hero of Dostoevsky sees that it is real, and not fantastic, to become a “master” means to follow the road, such as Luzhin and Svidrigailov: from one crime to another. And the only way out, and the ability to avoid a complete moral decline, is for Rodion to gain courage, to overcome himself. To come to an understanding of this, to help the hero make the right decision and turn off the disastrous path, and the images of his "doubles" are called.

Dostoevsky in his novel depicts the collision of theory with the logic of life. According to the writer, a living life process, that is, the logic of life, always refutes, renders insolvent any theory - both the most advanced, revolutionary, and the most criminal. So, it is impossible to make life according to theory. And therefore, the main philosophical idea of the novel is revealed not in a system of logical proofs and refutations, but as a collision of a person obsessed with an extremely criminal theory, with life processes that refute this theory.

Raskolnikov is surrounded in the novel by characters who are, as it were, his "twins": in them, some side of the protagonist's personality is reduced, parodied or shaded. Due to this, the novel turns out to be not so much a trial of a crime as (and this is the main thing) a trial of the personality, character, psychology of a person, which reflected the features of Russian reality of the 60s of the last century: the search for truth, truth, heroic aspirations, "staggering" , "delusions".

Rodion Raskolnikov is associated with many people in the work. One of them is Luzhin and Svidrigailov, who are the "twins" of the main character, because they created theories similar to the theory of the "chosen ones" and "trembling creatures". "We are one field of berries," Svidrigailov says to Rodion, emphasizing their similarities.

In captivity of a false theory is Svidrigailov - one of the most complex images of Dostoevsky. He, like Raskolnikov, rejected public morality and wasted his life on entertainment. Svidrigailov, guilty of the death of several people, forced his conscience to be silent for a long time, and only a meeting with Dunya awakened some feelings in his soul. But repentance, unlike Raskolnikov, came to him too late. He even helped Sonya, his fiancee, the children of Katerina Ivanovna, in order to drown out remorse. But there is neither time nor strength to cope with himself and he puts a bullet in his forehead.

Svidrigailov - a man without conscience and honor - is like a warning to Raskolnikov if he does not obey the voice of his own conscience and wants to live with a crime in his soul that has not been redeemed by suffering. Svidrigailov is the most painful "double" for Raskolnikov, because it reveals the depths of the moral fall of a person who, due to the spiritual emptiness, has gone down the path of crimes. Svidrigailov is a kind of "black man" who all the time disturbs Raskolnikov, who convinces him that they are "of the same field", and therefore the hero fights especially desperately with him.

Svidrigailov is a wealthy landowner, leads an idle lifestyle. Svidrigailov destroyed the man and the citizen in himself. Hence his cynicism, with which he formulates the essence of Raskolnikov's idea, freeing himself from the confusion of Rodion, remaining to remain in boundless voluptuousness. But, having stumbled upon an obstacle, commits suicide. Death for him is liberation from all obstacles, from "questions of man and citizen." This is the result of the idea that Raskolnikov wanted to make sure of.

Another "double" of Rodion Raskolnikov is Luzhin. He is a hero who succeeds and does not constrain himself in any way. Luzhin evokes disgust and hatred of Raskolnikov, although he recognizes something in common in their life principle of calmly stepping over obstacles, and this circumstance torments the conscientious Raskolnikov even more. Luzhin is a business man with his "economic theories". In this theory, he justifies the exploitation of man, and it is built on profit and calculation, it differs from Raskolnikov's theory in the disinterestedness of thoughts. And although the theories of both one and the other lead to the idea that it is possible to "shed blood according to conscience," Raskolnikov's motives are noble, suffered through heart, he is driven not just by calculation, but by delusion, "clouding of the mind."

Luzhin is a straightforwardly primitive person. He is a reduced, almost comic double, in comparison with Svidrigailov. In the last century, the minds of many people were subject to the theory of "Napoleonism" - the ability of a strong personality to command the fate of other people. The hero of the novel, Rodion Raskolnikov, became a prisoner of this idea. The author of the work, wishing to portray the immoral idea of the protagonist, shows its utopian result on the images of "twins" - Svidrigailov and Luzhin. Raskolnikov explains the establishment of social justice by force as "blood according to conscience." The writer further developed this theory. Svidrigailov and Luzhin exhausted the idea of abandoning "principles" and "ideals" to the end. One has lost his bearings between good and evil, the other preaches personal gain - all this is the logical conclusion of Raskolnikov's thoughts. It is not in vain that Rodion replies to Luzhen's selfish reasoning: "Bring to the consequences what you just preached, and it will turn out that people can be cut."

In his work Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky convinces us that the struggle between good and evil in the human soul does not always end in the victory of virtue. Through suffering, people go to transformation and purification, we see this in the images of Luzhin and especially Svidrigailov.

The novel "Crime and Punishment" was conceived by Dostoevsky while still in hard labor. Then it was called "Drunken", but gradually the idea of the novel was transformed into a "psychological account of one crime." in his novel depicts the collision of theory with the logic of life. According to the writer, a living life process, that is, the logic of life, always refutes, renders insolvent any theory - both the most advanced, revolutionary, and the most criminal. So, it is impossible to make life according to theory. And therefore, the main philosophical idea of the novel is revealed not in a system of logical proofs and refutations, but as a collision of a person obsessed with an extremely criminal theory, with life processes that refute this theory.
