Zusammenfassung
In Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Rodion Raskolnikoff (Schuld und Sühne), a destitute ex-student in St.
Petersburg, Rodion Raskolnikoff, driven by poverty and a radical theory that some individuals are above moral law, murders an unscrupulous pawnbroker and her sister. Tormented by guilt and paranoia, he spirals into psychological turmoil, grappling with his conscience and the consequences of his actions as he interacts with characters like the destitute Marmeladov family and the cunning investigator Porfiry.
The novel explores themes of morality, redemption, and the human condition, culminating in Raskolnikoff's anguished journey toward confession and spiritual reckoning.
