the street His friend Dmitri Prokofych Razumikhin sees him sick His mother Pulcheria Alexandrovna and sister Avdotya Romanovna Raskolnikova feel shocked by his pale face Pride and weakness live together in him Killer vs Protector Raskolnikov plans the murder of Alyona Ivanovna the pawnbroker He says I shall strike her on the head split her skull open He kills her with an axe He also kills her sister Lizaveta Ivanovna This shows the cruel murderer But soon we see a very different side Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov dies under the wheels Raskolnikov takes money from his poor pocket He gives it to Katerina Ivanovna The same man who kills also shows pity He is both a killer and a helper Cold Intellect vs Warm Heart In talks with Porfiry Petrovich Raskolnikov uses cold logic Porfiry asks about his theory Raskolnikov answers sharply Extraordinary men have a right to commit any crime He speaks like a hard thinker But when he meets Sofya Semyonovna Marmeladov his heart changes He weeps before her Sonia Sofya gives him a cross This moment shows his warm heart fighting with his cold brain Secret Pride vs Love for Family Raskolnikov deeply loves his family He writes to Pulcheria Alexandrovna and worries about Dounia He stops Dounia from marrying Pyotr Petrovich Luzhin This shows his care But his pride stops him from telling them the truth He hides the murder from them He lies and grows distant His family sees him restless Pulcheria fears her son has lost his mind Dounia feels her brother is hiding something dark His love fights with his pride This makes him double Guilt vs Desire for Redemption After the murder guilt eats Raskolnikov He dreams of blood He hears voices His guilt makes him sick Yet Sonia gives him new hope She tells him Say to all men aloud I am a murderer Raskolnikov finally obeys He confesses to Porfiry He goes to Siberia In prison he feels a new life His guilty self dies His redeemed self begins This shows his final victory His guilty half dies His redeemed half begins Raskolnikov is truly a dual man He is both strong and weak proud and broken criminal and repentant In Petersburg streets in his dark room in Porfiry s office with Sonia s Bible and finally in Siberia we see two sides of his soul His split personality makes Crime and Punishment not just a story of murder but a story of the human heart
