crime and punishment

Tweet

It`s the story of a poor student Raskolnikov,who is led on to commit a murder partly by self conceit,partly by the contemplation of the abject misery around him.Unsurpassed in poignancy in the whole of modern literature is the sensation of compassion evoked by the scene between the self-tormented Raskolnikov and the humble street-walker,Sonia,whom he loves and from whom,having confessed his crime,he derives the idea of expination. Raskolnikov finally gives himself up to the police and is exiled to Siberia,whither Sonia follows him.
