This is my all time favorite book. The scene where Raskolnikov is on a bridge looking at the Neva river and realizing he's no longer the same person he was a few months or weeks ago moves me to tears everytime I read it.
Yes I remember that scene vividly. There are so many memorable scenes and quotable lines in that book. What Dostoyevsky achieves with the written word is incredible- this is also one of my all time faves!
Dostoyevsky was a prisoner twice, condemned to death for the first time, and was already facing a firing squad. He was exiled to Siberia. His father was a doctor in a military hospital. He was violent alcoholic. Dostoyevsky grew up among the poor, the mentally ill and from the so-called social pits. All this can be found in his books. It's true that they are hard to read. This was then the reality and the social and political truth.
Woah... you taught me some new facts about Dostoyevsky. It's no wonder he writes with such insight on the subject of suffering. Yet, how he managed to write at all despite what he suffered is an incredible testament to the human will.
Dostoyevsky knows so much more about what it means to be human than I or than most other authors. He's not gentle on us, though he is filled with boundless love. I love Sonia, and I'd like to know what you think of her. That moment when Dunia's fiance plants a hundred ruble bill on Sonia, then accuses her of stealing it, as a way of discrediting Rodia to his sister, is just one of the best scenes in literature, period. Love the book and love the review! Thanks.
I loved Sonia's character also. I love how she stuck beside Raskolnikov and did not judge him but rather helped guide him towards repentance. One of the most memorable scenes for me (which really touched my heart) was when Raskolnikov bows down to Sonya and kisses her foot and says that he his is bowing down to the 'suffering of humanity'. My gosh that was just an incredible and powerful scene. Thank you for watching my review!
Great stuff! I've always wanted to read books but never brought myself to do it until now, at 34 years of age. Made myself a promise to read all the classics (not all but alot of them). Been reading Dotoyevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Orwell, Huxley and more and now I cannot for the life of me understand why I started so late.
Whew what an intense book 😂, I think it is so necessary to open your mind to all frequencies though and go beyond what we have been taught as good and bad. Facing ones own daemons in a sense. Getting into the minds of so called tyrants and seeing why they got so far, because to achieve you have to be following universal law regardless. Moral coding is human programming, I believe to be a true creator you must follow what your personal soul says and if you lead with love thats even greater. Absolutely great review brother ✨
Agreed. It’s interesting to see people casually act so ignorant. I told people recently that I felt so bad for the Russian players who can’t go to the Qatar World Cup, and everyone said "well I’m not"
I 100% agree with you. The West, in particular, is in no position to cancel any culture considering its past. And personally, I don't support the idea of 'cancel culture' - period.

I just finished reading crime and punishment and came to TH-cam to see someone give a deeper analysis of it. I appreciate your review. Thanks

As for me, the most moving moment was when Raskolnikov asked little Polenka to hug him and pray for him. Thanks YOU.

Great review, it’s sad no one reads the classics, there is a lot of insight in them
The classics are only for the brave of heart! They will always find the right people but I agree with you that it is sad that many don't read them.

I personally think it's wrong to cancel Russian culture ( including Dostoevsky)
Especially since most of these ppl were suffering from the government.
