A simple plot but which’s executed in its most superior extent.
Intensely, vividly, enthrallingly and masterfully. I had a hard time separating myself from the book. Raskolnikov’s mind was misdirected in certain ways. A muddled yarn ball of paradox his character was, but he had courage and the most kind and loving heart which was what made his struggle compelling to me. When a kind person killed other for his own cause, he also became his own executioner. And in spite of his crime, he would be sure to conjure the most sympathy from those that benefited from his honest love and also honestly loved him, but silly Raskolnikov didn’t know that.
There was also such a colorful cast in such a story that was so dark. Dostoevsky is a powerful wizard of characterization.
Favorite character: Sonya Semyonovna Marmeladov
