Hardships Of Love

Improved Essays
Love is not easy. Love makes us feel emotions that we never even thought we were capable of feeling. A force that makes us feel unquenchable yearning, but at the same time, joy, but then it is a force that cannot be described through emotions or words -- this is love. You feel happier and more joyful than ever before. You feel like things are finally starting to fall into place. An emotion that brings out the hot passion from deep within, this is love. There is no feeling, no experience and no reality like being in love. However, the hardships that separate us from love, the obstacles that stand in our way; It is usually during those hardships that love is everything. True love can be experienced only during and after the journey through …show more content…
He justifies the crime in his mind for a number of different reasons, before he reaches the root cause of his action. At first, he tried to tell himself that he needed the money and he would be doing everyone a favor because the pawnbroker was a miserable person. However, this reasoning was quickly and resolutely rejected for several reasons. First, he didn't steal much money at all, and he buried the money he did take without using it. Second, he felt physically and emotionally sick about his crime, which negated the sense that her life had no meaning. Afterward, we are told about Raskolnikov’s theory on the extraordinary. We find out in Crime and Punishment, that Raskolnikov had written an article about people being divided as either ordinary or extraordinary. According to this article, Raskolnikov believed that extraordinary people possess the ability to transgress the law without guilt or second-guessing. Thus, it is believed that Raskolnikov killed in order to test whether or not he was one of these extraordinary people. Raskolnikov’s ‘test’ provided him with the results he needed. By breaking the society’s moral codes, Raskolnikov was excluded from the benefits of being ‘normal.’ If people were to know of his crimes, Raskolnikov will no longer have access to love. He cannot handle living a lifestyle of isolation. And right when Raskolnikov is about to break apart from madness, he sees Sonia. …show more content…
After everything that Sonia has done, Sonia cannot do more for Raskolnikov. She can’t serve his prison sentence for him. Sonia can only accompany Raskolnikov to Siberia and do whatever she can to help him there. At this point, Raskolnikov wants to suffer alone. Even after everything the two had gone through together, Raskolnikov stays stubborn, in order to hang onto his pride. As if to prove for the final time, that his motives were right. Around this time, Sonia disappears. Someone who had so persistently stayed by his side previously had disappeared. Raskolnikov begins to worry, and after what must be a painfully agonizing period of time, he realizes and concludes that without Sonia, he would be nothing. Once Sonia comes back, we are given a scene in which Raskolnikov weeps at the feet of Sonia. This is where the true confession

    One side of Raskolnikov is warm and compassionate while another side of him is cold, unfeeling, and self-willed. Raskolnikov’s moral ambiguity is a vital role in the novel because Dostoevsky uses Raskolnikov to make the readers question the validity of a black and white world. Raskolnikov is caught between two contradicting situations. On one hand he is warm and compassionate, like in the second chapter of Part 1 Raskolnikov leaves money for Marmeladov and his family since one of his kids is selling herself to bring money in for the family while the other kids are going hungry because Marmeladov drinks their money away. On pages 45-47, while Raskolnikov is walking in town he comes across a fairly young but drunk girl.…

    Although he experiences severe alienation, Raskolnikov’s social interactions past the murder are asphyxiating. Similarly, in the dream, the mass of people trap him with an expectant gaze. Dostoevsky clarifies the extent of Raskolnikov’s paranoia; he believes a confession is inevitable. The dream reveals Raskolnikov cannot tolerate the pressure of those around him and, to some degree, he believes his murder of the pawnbroker is a…

    After opening up to Sonya, he later encounters a strong thirst for “immediate resolution” that he can't “grasp or convey in words,” emphasizing the internal struggle he faces from unresolved guilt (442). Throughout Part Six, he attempts to satisfy this hole externally by meeting with Svidrigailov and Pofiry—two people who Raskolnikov fails to connect with on a personal level. Eventually, Raskolnikov meets with Sonya and tells her that “‘only”’ she “‘know[s] what makes [him] mad,’” emphasizing the magnitude of his decision to confess and explain his motivations for the murder to her (522). Leaving her for the final time, he decides to head toward the police station for his confession and wonders if “‘it’s impossible to stop now,’” reflecting the progress Raskolnikov has made on his crucial flaw because he doesn't think he can just avoid the truth anymore (523). Even with this determined attitude, Raskolnikov lacks the courage to confess and heads back until a “desperate” Sonya “gave him a wild, wild look” that “force[s]” “a hideous, lost smile” “to his lips” (530).…

    Raskolnikov, whose name is fittingly translated as “schism”, alienates himself from his family, his friends, and most of society. He wallows in the chaos of his mind, and premeditates his crime, and in his overconfidence, transcends moral acceptability for societal good, considering the murders of the dishonest pawnbroker, Ms. Ivanovna, and her sister his duty in order to better the decrepit society in which he lives, as a form of “survival of the fittest” and to “guide and correct nature.” After murdering Alyona and Lizaveta, he takes their money, but later decides against using it, thinking it to be blood money. This can be seen as an allusion to Judas’ betrayal and the incredibly prominent religion of Christianity that permeates much of…

    Razumikhin is Raskolnikov’s only friend and is present whenever Raskolnikov needs help, including when Raskolnikov becomes ill and when Raskolnikov is interrogated. Dostoevsky’s choice in using Razumikhin as the foil character allows readers to see how truly heartless Raskolnikov is because of Razumikhin’s assiduous concern for his friend. If Razumikhin’s personality was not as contrasting with Raskolnikov’s personality, it may not have been as…

    Punishment becomes the only way that Raskolnikov can redeem himself in the eyes of Sonia and the moral rules of society. Once he understands that “crime must be punished because it was a crime” then he finds an understanding not rooted in “his future behavior or moral salvation” (Cowley 89, italics in original). Sonia accepts his actions and though she initially rejects what he has done, her “courageous goodness” leads her to what Cowley calls a “loving understanding” (89-90). This form of understanding does not rely on a basis of beliefs and desires, but rather on discovering something in “the justificatory economy of the situation….by turning one’s attention toward the object in a loving way, a transformative way” (Cowley 90). Sonia accounts for Raskolnikov’s actions through a transformative kind of loving understanding that the novel has been building towards.…

    It is evident via Dostoevsky’s assertion in the novel: “He drew the ax, raised it back with both hands. He brought the blunt side down on her head.” that Raskolnikov did not feel huge sympathy for human life, and was a very aggressive and violent individual. Furthermore, this statement also indicates that Raskolnikov was willing to go to great lengths, in this case murder his pawnbroker, to achieve something he excessively desired. Therefore, it is evident by the murders Raskolnikov committed that he had a very selfish, immoral, ruthless, and callous side to…

    Raskolnikov Suffering

    • 777 Words

    Raskolnikov experienced personal conflict all throughout the novel, especially during the times when he attempts to help others, something he often regrets or expresses confusion over why he did it in the first place. This comes to light in his conversation with his sister Dunya, when he tells her that “before helping people, one must first have the right” (pg 227). To Raskolnikov, at least at face value, he believes that suffering for others is unnecessary and even sees the act as weak. Yet, Raskolnikov still helps others and suffers for them by giving them his money, revealing deeper confliction on the subject matter than it appears. Not until he understands Sonya, at the end of the novel, does he finally see the error in his ways.…

That is decidedly what I am very much afraid of.” (130).Tolstoy mentions that Raskolinkov was “not living in real life, rather he was acting like a machine” (487). He is constantly torn between his thoughts and reality, so feeling frustrated of this he settles to kill her as an act of his asseriveness over reality, a way to release an inner…

    After he commits the crime, he is troubled deeply with his actions and he becomes sick. Raskolnikov is trapped by his conscience, and he isn't able to free himself until he can find meaning in his life. Dostoevsky strives to discredit the theory of a superior being by showing how much it can make one suffer and lead to destruction. I believe it is vital for this theory to be discussed and explored, because there are many layers to it. However in my opinion, interfering with the fate of others is something no one else should have control over.…

    Their bond, in his mind, is forged in steel, and it is Sonya who extracts the tiniest bit of humanity and morale from Raskolnikov. Her strong Christian faith allows him to realize a life beyond theory and greatness, beyond anger and loneliness, and beyond the wretched gripes of the common man he always dreaded becoming. Raskolnikov first divulges his crime unto her because he is aware of her kinship with Lizaveta, reminding her of his hidden compassion and scruples. With her continual support, he avows himself to his weeping mother and loyal sister before commencing to the police station. Sonya follows him, and after walking out, he meets her vulnerable, pure gaze and mirthlessly strolls back in to meet his fate.…
