It’s only now I’m here wishing I could be in a classroom again like this and take in these extremely interesting notes on a book I now love and revere. Thank you for the recording of the lecture

I dont think Raskolnikov ever repented genuinely for killing a person. He only repented for committing a deed which he did not have the potential to deal with. What he gives away in the end is his pride and ego. He comes down to the ground and completely accepts that he is just an ordinary person.

Bhuvanesh N I felt the same way. And I’ve re-read the last few pages in an attempt to find even a slight clue that he truly repents. While serving his time in Siberia, Raskolnikov mentions something along the lines of how he does not feel bad for the old woman. This made me feel uneasy because I felt that the book would have an “unhappy ending”. But the fact that he accepted himself as an ordinary man and let go of his pride (which crushed his soul so much that he was kneeling and sobbing in front of Sonia) was in so many ways, just as impactful; because a. it wasn’t that he was inherently bad that made him commit the crime because he clearly has empathy and goes out of his way to help others and b. in coming to terms with his normalcy, he can set aside his hyper rational thoughts and theories and lead the rest of his life without isolating himself and in doing so, he is less likely to commit further atrocities.

I got the impression that he didn't change his mind on the theory, just that didn't have the right to the commit it. I.e. if somebody else *worthy.. exceptional* commited the act, they would have the moral right to do so. It might be a cliche, but I think at the end what really woke him up and brought him back to reality was the idea he could leave his own rationalisations aside and live according to somebody else's traditions and believes. Live *for* somebody else.

The point of Raskolnikov's redemption isn't being sorry for the crime. The point of his redemption is that he's a criminal but people are still able to forgive him. And that moves him so much he completely changes his outlook on life. He still belies that his murder was rational and justifiable, but he also knows that's not enough to live his life. Love and acceptance of the society is the real foundation of the human society, not reason.

@@sanderallstar6765 Dostoyevsky was, his entire life, opposed to serfdom and he detested the landed Russian aristocracy. He was opposed to socialism because it worshiped the state and and he was opposed to capitalism because it worshiped Mammon (money). He was looking for a new kind of human community that he hoped would grow out of the Russian Orthodox Church, but he even had doubts about that. He was well-known for not getting along with Orthodox priests and he rarely went to church. In one of his last letters, he told a friend that in his next novel, which would be a continuation of The Brothers Karamazov, his saintly Alyosha would leave the church, become an anarchist, and attempt to assassinate the Tsar. Dostoyevsky a conservative? No. Dostoyevsky a liberal? No. He was looking for something new which he saw as rooted in Christ. We have only scratched the surface in really understanding Dostoyevsky.

I don’t think he’s saying that. It’s simply that we approach and receive/interpret great works of art differently at different stages of our life. Everyone should re-read the great works of literature(Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, etc) every 6-7 years from the age of 18 to the end of their life. They’ll discover new insights every time.. Hell, Read Hamlet, Lear, Macbeth, etc once a month from 18 to 80 and you’ll make a few thousand discoveries in them by 80..🎭🎼🙏

I definitely like the title : Crime Punishment and Penance. Loved the professor. Anytime I need psychological depth I go back to School. Professors are so refreshing!! Thank you.

Repentance was alluded to throughout the entire book. The epilogue seemed very intentional to me

Marmeladov always has been my favourite character, ever since I first read/listened to this novel, and the teacher's fav scene is also probably mine. I wonder what the many mentions of horse carriages stand for in this play though.

so far from wat i c is tht raskinolkov is very poor and is in a alot of pressure so tht y hes all crazy. ye they even say tht is it the crime tht causes the mental illness or the illness tht causes the crime(i think it can b both)? thts y he wants to kill the lady cuz the dude is psycopathic and sociopathic from his time in st.petersburg, he mustve been fine when he was with his mother and sister back in his home town. idk bout the whole "superior man idea" yet cuz im only on page 84 but so far it just seems tht hes like bilpolar cuz first he said he was gonna commit the crime. then he said he wasnt cuz he had a dream about him being a child and seeing a horse get beaten to death and also said even if with an absolute assurance tht the plan was gonna go all well and he will b unscathed from the crime he wouldnt do it; he saw lizaveta who from tht he knew was going to b somewhere where her half sis(ivanova old woman) where he thought would b alone at tht time becuz of her lizaveta going somewhere, and now from knowing this he once again wants to commit this crime. seems like hes bipolar to a fault, hes desperate, and is sick and weak from his conditions.

Wow, this is a HIGH SCHOOL class? It feels more college level material.

I Thought someone would suggest the title (Purgatory) in the beginning .

This is a very, very lucky High School

I read CP when I was 14, my dad's college paperback. I devoured it. I was going through my 80s slasher film phase and the book grabbed me. I would then start to read other russian novelists and find 19th century Russia identical to 21st century America. There's a passage in Dostoevsky's The Idiot where a woman screams at her son's deadbeat friends, "you think breaking into someone's home and mugging are a form of political protest!" Something like that. Shocking how today's left in the west is mimicking Russia's elites from 150 years ago.

It is now widely accepted that the 5 novel's dostoyevsky wrote (not his early work tho) are good candidates for greatest work of literature in worlds history

Am very affected by the needless death of Elizabeth, in such a gruesome manner, for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. More so, by Raskalinikof's attitude. And not once does Raskalinikof care or regret that. Hence, it is my view that Raskalinikov remains an unrepentant and dangerous man even when released after his sentence.

Insanity and rehabilitation

Rask keeps seeking to be rejected for who he is -- he thinks his true self is unworthy of familial love are general acceptance. He thrives on needing to be seen as hated, an outcast, a pariaih. When his love interest says she "knows" it means she knows who and what he is by nature and accepts him anyway, not just that she knows he killed the old woman.
