Illness, at the time, was explained in terms of the four humours: blood, choler, phlegm, and melancholy; similarly, to the four seasons. The lack of or excess of one of the four humours led to the person’s illness. Doctors based the humoral system on analogies within the natural world and interconnections between…

that only applying Freudian psychoanalysis would be sufficient to explain the actions of the characters in Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov’s actions come from his neurosis, unable to properly suppress his primal instincts.
