You are literally smerdyakov

>>18863544
No, you are literally not. Maybe you feel just like him, but you are literally NOT Raskolnikov.

>>18863544
So you’re gonna get christcucked and marry a repentant whore? Many such cases!

>>18863553
Kek

>>18863557

>>18863567
No, you're not because he is not real.

>>18863568

>>18863574
That's right. I'm only letters on your screen.

>>18863577
Holy fuck

>>18863574
This is unironically true. Raskolnikov lives in OP's heart, influences him. Meanwhile that anon is just another NPC on the street or random letters in the internet. What is more real?

>>18863544
I figuratively Raskolnikov my pants.

>>18863625

>>18863837
Maybe in the days before large scale processed foods.

>>18863544
>has to think about relating to Raskolnikov
>therefore not Raskolnikov because a real Raskolnikov would act without considering if he was Raskolnikov or not

>>18863544
No, I am literally Raskolnikov!

>>18863544

post feet

>>18863567
Oh shit, hey Raskolnikov. How's things?

"The Idiot" should be renamed to "The Simp"
So fucking disappointed that the main motivation of the main character is to get married to a freaky whore who emotionally abuses everyone around her, all the while he calls her beautiful and childlike and gives her nothing but praise. Dostoevsky must have been a beta provider.

>>18863668
I love Alyosha, let me be Alyosha!!!

>>18864947
He beat his wife desu.

>>18865063
not only that, he used to frequent brothels where he physically abused the workers

Reminder that Razumikhin manipulated Raskolnikov to confess to his crime so that he could have unhindered access to his sister’s pussy without his autist ass hanging around

>>18863544

>>18865779
Other than that he was a good dude

>>18865777
digits confirm

>>18863544

Have you killed any old women yet? By the way, I wanted to marry his sister when I read the book. I genuinely fell in love with her character - did anyone else?

>>18866128
Dont want to sound like a cuck but I liked Sonya.

>>18863668
If you’re on 4chan you’re probably Ivan

>>18863544
Katerina Ivanovna Marmeladov is literally my mom
Surprising I dont see people mention that more often

>>18865779
There is literally nothing wrong with that either

>>18864940

>>18865877

>>18867524

>>18863544
My discord name is Raskolnikov

>>18866128
she is intelligent, emotionally mature and good looking. so yeah

>>18869474
She's my first waifu desu.

>>18863544
neets on /lit/ have more in common with the narrator in Notes from the Underground.
You can't call yourself Raskolnikov if you haven't killed someone

>>18869627
Hehe...

I'm around halfway through the book, and it's shaping up to be one of the best works of literature I've read, I love seeing Raskolnikov's struggles after the murder. What irks me though is the constant long ass conversations between people, mostly Razumikhin and someone else. The things they talk about are interesting, don't get me wrong, but it's just tiresome to read endless dialogue. I preferred the beginning, where we accompanied Raskolnikov through St. Petersburg and saw his outlook on the world. Am I just retarded?

>>18870481
Idk I read the Crime and Punishment very quickly and don't remember it being a drag at all
And it's weird for me because I usually read slow, but I was hooked all the time

>>18863630
And this comment is A FUCKING

>>18865079
The more moralizing the book, the more depraved the author.

>>18870481
That’s kind of how Dostoevsky is, lots of monologues.

I am literally Raskolnikov subconsciousness

>>18870481
I agree, the conversations can be a little boring when they go on for so long. Really the only ones I didn't like were the long ass conversations with Porfiry because he's such an obnoxious chatterbox

>>18871238
>>18870481

I disagree,it's one of these books that I was addicted to reading it.Many times I took a break but I didn't want to actually,just wanted to keep reading. That's why I finished it surprisingly fast.

Would like to reread one day,just to enjoy it more.

I still think Raskolnikov was right, he just wasn't smart enough to realise he isn't Napoleon.

>>18871238
Rodya's three encounters with Porfiry are probably my favourite scenes in the book.

>>18863837
I exist

>>18871292
I think part of the point is that, rather than intelligence, he really didn't think have the stomach or the will to be Napoleon. He wasn't that kind of person, he was a good man, he didn't want to hurt anybody.

>>18863544
Ur cringe.

>>18871575
If you're truly intelligent, in the general sense, then you know your own stomach and capacity. I suppose Dosto's point wasn't necessarily to 'disprove' Raskolnikov's theory, more simply state, how many Napoleons are there? Do you think you're one? Which is enough. But nor does that mean you can't think amorally, just one should accept it is as a hypothetical against your nature (but not all human 'natures' are the same or will stay the same, so there is merit). Though, again, perhaps thinking against your own nature is a very silly, misery-creating and dangerous thing. However, part of me will always think things ill conducive to life. I suppose I'm at the point where that sacrifice means little to me.

>>18871613
>If you're truly intelligent, in the general sense, then you know your own stomach and capacity.
Yes, he did make a huge mistake, but I don't think it was a lack of intelligence necessarily that led him to fail the path of a conqueror. He wouldn't even get caught if he didn't literally try to. I think Dosto, due to his sincere Christian beliefs, thought that a good man can commit mistakes, even horrible ones, but that his soul will long for redemption, and he should be allowed to have that chance, through penitence he can find Jesus Christ, and become the good man he is.
I'm not preaching though, I just think that's the main idea. And the "soul" part doesn't necessarily imply a metaphysical thing, I mean that in the more on the psychological side of repentance.

What's best translation? I've read Maude's Anna K, Coulson's Notes from Underground and The Double, and Garnett's Brothers K. I found a P&V translation of C&P at the thrift store should I go back and get it?

>>18867524
surprised more people havent made the same observation

>>18871147
the self is the self that does not relate unself to itself
