sorry

I love buying new books. Look at this! Isn’t it pretty? I’m not gonna read it for 2 years but it will look fabulous on my bookshelf

Crime and Punishment-

Was it really his duty to kill the older lady? Was it absolutely necessary to kill her sister? Is any level of personal satisfaction to blame for his crimes? I can’t help but feel these “signs” (the map route etc) were only signs because he wanted them to be!

Thank you so much for asking!!!!

*Spoilers if you want to read*

In part one, Raskolnikov really doesn't want to be there seems to be no other option. Of course we know all about free will, yet how many times have we needed or wanted to do something then proceed to do the opposite.

The drunk man, Marmeladov, who Raskolnikov meets at the pub (equivalent) loves his family and would love to make them proud, he does for a short while when he gets his job back, but that first paycheck, he runs off for a week and gets drunk. He knew how disappointed his family would be and the beating he'd get from his wife but it happened anyway, maybe if this was his story his fate would've been signposted too.

Every time Raskolnikov makes up his mind that he just can't do it, trying to control what seems predestined, a new damning piece of the story highlights itself. On his way walking home, on autopilot, finds himself walking the long way home past the market, overhearing conversation that the mean old woman is going to be home alone. If he wanted to do it, hearing this would surely be job, but he was devastated being presented the opportunity to fulfil this "destiny".

I'm sure we'll find out more in part two!!!

The tradition that love is "woman's whole existence" is challenged by a new assumption, a refusal to admit that any human being's happiness can be completely dependent on one other human being. When Salima, a young woman of Turkestan, accepted a scholarship to study in Tashkent, her husband ordered her to return, and, on her refusal, divorced her, boasting by letter that he had taken another wife "obedient and illiterate." Salima showed her quality by replying: "I received your letter telling me that you have another wife. I will have my revenge. When I finish my studies I will come back to the village and teach your second wife to read and write."
