the fever dream stuff with Svidrigaïlov towards the end was really good. also loved the actual murder scene. Raskolnikov going to bars late at night by himself was also entertaining.

>> No.13512625

>>13512582
He felt guilty and remorse because of the unplanned murder of Lisaveta though, I believe that if he had only killed Alyona as premeditated he wouldn't torment himself throughout the book.

When Sonya and Raskolnikov were reading the bible was beautiful, this line in particular, "The candle-end was flickering out in the battered candlestick, dimly lighting up in the poverty-stricken room the murderer and the harlot who had so strangely been reading together the eternal book." stuck with me.

The scene where Nikolay burst in the room and confessed before Raskolnikov was about to was seriously interesting

>> No.13512695

hard to say for sure.
the author said that he meant the book to be a critique of utilitarian thought, which he thought failed to take into consideration the human nature.

>> No.13512706

>>13512641
Honestly I felt that's how it was going to end throughout most of the book. I guess it's meant to mean how true punishment can only be found in life, and death is the escape, hence the theme of suicide throughout the book

I need someone in my life to be honest with me. If I am having a hard time keeping track of names and relationships, am I too dumb for pic related? I haven't read anything but trashy sci-fi novels and I remember my Lithuanian grandpa saying this was one of his favorite books of all time.

>> No.13512743

>>13512714
keep a piece of paper and a pen with you while you're reading. when a new character is introduced, write their name in the piece of paper and their relationship with another character. you could even make a family tree if it helps. so when you encounter them again in the book and you forgot, just quickly glance at your cheat sheet. its like taking notes while studyjng

>> No.13513281

>>13512630
That's how it was originally written. For whatever reason, in Russia, they used to censor street names and locations when writing, but would keep the first or last letters so that people would still know what street they were writing about.

I read it in Slovak since it is my first language and is much closer to russian than English. I got some of the name puns but not all of them. I thought about learning russian to read Dostoyevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Tolstoy, etc. But I don't have time for that

>He felt guilty and remorse because of the unplanned murder of Lisaveta though
But it is explicitly said he barely thinks of Lisaveta, that she doesn't really care about her. I thought the author went to great lenghts to make it clear the characters feelings where not caused by Lisaveta's murder.

Learn how Russian names work and look at the list at the beginning of the book if you get confused. Honestly it's easier to remember character names when they're as memorable as Dostoyevsky's characters, just takes a small amount of practice
