Crime and Punishment, the idea of suffering
The idea of suffering plays a major role and guides the reader attracting his attention throughout the entire novel "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Suffering is the dominant theme of this work. It twists and contorts itself into so many aspects of the story, that any other classification of it would simply not do it justice. The main character Rodion Raskolnikov is the one who suffers form the very beginning of the novel until the end as psychological forces eat away at the thoughts and actions of their victim. He feels very pessimistic about his own life the things and people that surround him. Rodion doesn't really appreciate the way he lives and what does he come to. He suffers a big deal because of the poverty and his helpless. Raskolnikov hates that his mother and his beloved sister Dunya have to save money so that they could help him, and he suffers because he could not help them instead. The letter that he receives from his mother makes his suffering even worse. Raskolnikov understood clearly that his sister who is a proud, virtuous girl would've never sold herself (marrying without love) for her own gain, she would better starve from hunger than do such a thing.
However the main character doesn't suffer because he had killed a human being and shed blood. She convinces him to confess to everyone that he murdered the old money lender so that in God's eyes, he will be forgiven. By this reasoning, a parallel may also be drawn between the mare and Rodion. The main point is that he felt in his own eyes and began to consider himself a louse and simple ordinary man not more. Raskolnikov doesn't see any sin the actual murder. After while Porfiriy shows to Raskolnikov his cards making it clear that he's going to arrest him and prove that he is a murdered. He takes Siberia as his punishment, because of how annoying it is to go through all these formalities, and ridicularities that it entails. It can also be represented by the fact that Raskolnikov gives away all his money to the widowed women even though he needs them himself. Therefore, he was tormented by the otherwise insignificant statements and actions of others in the novel. Rodion suffers a lot because he couldn't take this immolation. That is a really painful thing for Raskolnikov who not long ago has considered himself being great. Rodion relises that this man is going to use this information in his own advantage. To prove his own theory which is that there are two types of people those who are good to reproduce only and the extraordinary ones, who have to set the rules for everybody else. He never even considers himself guilty for the crime itself. He have committed the murder in a state of delirium killing Aliona Ivanovna without even thinking at the moment.
