Thank you so much for this! I just finished part 1 and looked for further analyses and got into your video. I wish I have words to express how amazed I am the way you present your ideas. 🥰

If my 14 year old self knew that at the age of 22 she would spend Friday evenings listening to in depth analysis of classical literature she’d jump of a building. But as 22 year old wholeheartedly enjoyed it. Unfortunately my russian is not strong enough to read it in original ( tried and failed miserably) so i am so happy i got to listen to all the details. I wish i could listen to every other classics such in depth analysis done by you. Thanks a lot.

This video is absolutely perfect for my Dutch assignment. You helped me a lot with this video and the part 2. Thank you!

This is exactly what I was looking for! I’m currently in my first read through, in my native tongue (Spanish). I see I’m missing out a lot of detail and nuance, be it out of dumbness and lack of attention or because it got lost in translation… I’m happy to have found someone who’s actually knowledgeable both in the content of the book and the original language, thank you very much for your work!! It will be a great guide as I read along

Thank you so much for these well thought-out and beautiful analyses! These have been a fantastic companion to the text!

Great video. Such an insightful one. Keep going Sophie. 👏

I finished this book last night. The plan was to finish it in a couple of days but it got intense and I couldn't stop. One thing that I am wondering its if Dostoevsky might have had bipolar disorder. I don't know if Rodya is a character based on his own experiences or someone else's. Rodya has severe fits of depression to the point where he stays in bed for days not doing anything. Then there is the other extreme where he walks around aimlessly, at times talking to himself, and even doing hand gestures while talking to himself. Then there is the irritability, the inability to maintain a linear thought process, and of course the grandiosity. At one point he compared himself to the Napoleon. I don't even know if the diagnosis existed back then. I also read the double and that book it's definitely describing someone who has lost touch with reality. Just an observation. Anyways. it's cool to see analysis of books from different perspectives. it's like finding hidden Easter eggs or looking at an Easter egg rom a different point of view.

I have just finished reading the book today. My second time, the first time was back at school. The book is astonishing and phenomenal! I stumbled upon your analyses by chance and really liked your way of presented facts and interesting detailed. I’m going to watch your entire series on the book. Thank you!

The first time I read this book was for a Dostoyevsky class, and I went into it already knowing that *spoiler* he commits murder, but it was still quite the ride for me. Even though it's not in 1st person, it still felt like I was in his head. I am still blown away by the depth of this book, and as I am a Christian, the Christian themes resonate with me deeply. I wish more Christians would talk about this book.

I agree, the book goes beyond that. Some readers resonated with the Christian elements of the novel on a personal level. Crime and Punishment is so rich and deep that it inspired me to make 6 videos on it and to spend endless nights exploring a lot of surprising subjects. Simple answers weren't doing it for me anymore. I would question and question and question. It helped me a lot. What effect did it have on you? Did it challenge you is some way?

@SarcasticSplendor

I now understand your point clearly. Regarding the effect the book had on me: It was very alarming to see that even after murdering those women, Raskolnikov never truly felt remorse on a deeper level, nor did he acknowledge the value of the old woman's life. He lacked empathy for her until the end of the book. Despite the psychological anguish and legal punishment he endured, he maintained the belief that her life didn't matter and she deserved to die. This made me ponder how difficult, even hopeless, it would be to address or correct individuals like Raskolnikov in our society. (By the way, I was amazed by your admiration of Razumikhin in one of your videos. He was also my favorite character in the book. Cheers!)"

@@SarcasticSplendor The author was indeed a Christian. Perhaps if we gave more people the book Crime and Punishment to read, and fascilitated more discussion of it, it would be a start for helping the Raskolnikovs of our society. And if it's too difficult, perhaps we will need more abridged adaptations and graphic novel adaptations of it. There is one, but it changed the story's ending and the meaning of it, which is very sad.

I watched your video on Chekhov a while back. I'm almost finished with my Croatian translation of Crime and Punishment (Zločin i Kazna) by Zlatko Crnković (one of the greatest literary translators our country has produced). The last quarter of the novel is incredibly intense: I've been thinking much about culminations in Dostoyevsky's major novels, everything ends in flames! The late Harold Bloom rightly termed Dostoyevsky an apocalyptic novels.

Falling in love with Russian classics. First was 'Anna Karenina", and now am reading "crime and punisent". Still finding it a little puzzling about the naming system though, seems like all Russians have three names and they use them all at different places.

You should read a book on line. Love your voice and view on these.

I'm reading the book currently. Im on part 2 and ive watched this video like 3 times :'D. Also nietzche was known to draw alot of inspiration from Dostoyevsky, and during nietzches life he had a fit of insanity when he saw a man beating a work horse, at the sight of which, nietzche went mad and ran to the horse, hugged it and said 'i understand you' then he was scarred by that experience for the rest of his life. Would it be fair to say this was similar to Raskalnikov's dream about the mare?

Thanks so much for sharing with us your thoughts. Could I have the letter in which dotogesky shares his first thoughts about Crime and Punishment?, in addition, I wonder if you have the list of the meanings of the names.

@SophiaClef

Unfortunately, I don't have a list of names and their meanings, but I discussed most of them throughout the videos (part 1-6), when they were more relevant to the point I was trying to make. Here is the only translation of the letter I could find: (The Notebooks for CRIME & PUNISHMENT): May I count on publishing my novel in your journal, The Russian Messenger? I’ve been writing it here in Wiesbaden for the past two months, and I’m [now] finishing it. It will be about five to six printer’s pages long. I’ve got about two week’s work still left, and perhaps a little more. In any case, I can say for sure that I will send it off to the editors of The Russian Messenger no later than a month from now. The idea of the novel [as much as I can tell] cannot possibly go against the thoughts tenor of your journal; on the contrary. This is a psychological account of a crime. [The action takes place at the present time, in this year.] A young man expelled from the university, a petty bourgeois by background, living in the most extreme poverty, decides out of lightheadedness and instability of thinking to extricate himself from his deplorable situation with one bold stroke. He has become obsessed with badly thought out ideas which happen to be in the air. He decides to kill an old woman, the wife of a titular counselor, a moneylender. She is a crazy, deaf, sick old woman; [she greedily charges exorbitant interest]; she is evil and lives on the blood and flesh of others, and torments her younger sister. “She is not good for anything,” “Why does she live?” “Does anyone need her?” etc. These questions unhinge the mind of the young man. He decides to kill her, to rob her, in order to make his mother happy, who is living in the provinces, and to save his sister, who is living as a companion to some gentry, from [the sensuous] advances of the head of this gentry family, advances that threaten her with ruin. Then he plans to finish his studies, go abroad and [then] [be] honest, and firmly immovable [in] the fulfilment of his “humanitarian duty toward mankind” for the rest of his life. [By which of course] “he will make up” for the slight crime, if you can call an act done to an old, deaf, crazy, evil and sick woman, who [doesn’t know herself why she is living] and who in a month perhaps would die anyway, a crime. Despite the fact that crimes of this kind are done with great difficulty, that is, the criminals [almost always] leave clues that are crudely apparent, traces, etc. [and they leave a great deal to chance, which almost always trips them up], he is able to do the deed, completely by chance, quickly and successfully. A month goes by from the time of the deed to the final catastrophe. [There are no suspicions of him nor can there be.] Then the psychological process of the crime unfolds. Unresolved questions arise before the murderer, unsuspected and unexpected feelings torment his heart. The truth of God and the law of nature take their own, and he finally feels forced to give himself up, [forced] in order to be once again part of humankind, even if it means perishing in prison. The feeling of isolation and separation from humanity which he felt immediately after committing the crime wear him down. [The law of truth and human nature have their effect (…) the convictions.] [The criminal] decides to take suffering on himself in order [even without being forced] to redeem his act. [However, it is hard for me to explain in full my thought.]1 [In addition] I hint at this thought in the novel, that [legal] punishment for a crime frightens a criminal much less than we think [the lawmakers in part] because the criminal himself [morally] demands it. I have seen this even among the most uneducated people [in cases of pure chance]. I wanted to express this precisely in an educated man, a man of the new generation, so that my thought would be clearer, more easily understood, and more apparent. Certain events, which have happened in the most recent past, have convinced me that my subject is not at all eccentric, [precisely because the murderer is an educated and even a well-disposed man]. I was told last year of a student in Moscow, who had been expelled from the university after some trouble in school, who decided to rob the post and to kill the mailman. There are still many traces in our newspapers of extraordinary instability in our ideas, which inspires horrible deeds. [That seminary student, for example, who met the girl, by agreement with her in a shed, and killed her and whom they arrested within an hour eating his breakfast, etc.] In short I am convinced that my subject matter is in part justified by our times. To be sure, in my analysis of the thoughts idea of my novel, I have neglected the whole structure of events. I’ll answer for its interest, but I don’t take it upon myself to judge its artistic realization. I’ve had to write too many [much too many] bad things, trying to meet a deadline, etc. [However], I haven’t written this piece in a hurry or in heat. I’m going to try, if only for myself, to finish it as best I can.

The eponymous "crime" of Crime & Punishment occurs in Chapter VII. When does the "punishment" happen-- in the Epilogue? In Siberia? Is the punishment something you've analyzed, Ms. Clef? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts... Please direct me to the Part of your Analysis, (1 - 7) that digs into Dostoyevski's thoughts about punishment.

Kudos on sharing the shades, backgrounds, layers and other "ornaments" of this magnum opus of Dostoevsky with the very same passion, vivacity, and intensity that's befitting Dostoevsky, Sophia. Not sure, whether the significance of the ubiquitous presence of "yellow" colors is to insinuate the "jaundiced" vision that's now surmounted and engulfed the very being of Raskolnikov, as he acts further on his plot. Also, this very "yellow" color, reminded me of its ubiquity in the Eastern Orthodox Liturgy, ikons, and the very sanctuary where the Liturgy is celebrated, as repeatedly he utters "My God," despite his estrangement from God as he had fallen from the depth of his faith, thanks to his elected choice? I really thank you for sharing quite a few points that I definitely missed to correlate, as part of my current (third) re-read of C&P. I am sure, I will be watching these videos again, for my next re-read. I am interested in getting Dostoevsky's long letter on this work and how can I get it?
