A few years ago I re-read Crime and Punishment, 30 years after trying to get through it in high school. I was blown away by how deeply it affected me this time around. It's not so much a crime story as much as a "why is there crime?" story - or even a "what forces in my mind and in everyone else's minds are really shaping my moral actions?" story. (I just searched the internet for that last quote and apparently I need to read more Kant). I had some Russian friends where I was working at the time and asked them about Crime and Punishment and they all just frowned and nodded for a minute before one of them said "yes... very dark..." For any of you here who may have read it too young I highly recommend going back and reading it again |
