Crime and punishment
Crime and Punishment Crime and Punishment is a novel written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1866. The book tells the story of Rodion Raskolnikov , a poor student who commits a murder because he believes some people have the right to break the law. The “crime” is not only the act of killing, but also his idea that he is above morality. The “punishment” is not just the legal penalty, but mainly the guilt and fear he feels after what he did. The novel shows how his mind struggles between justifying his crime and feeling regret. It also makes the reader think about important questions: What is real justice? Is the worst punishment given by the law or by our own conscience? This book is important because it is not only about crime, but also about morality, guilt, and the possibility of redemption.
