 Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

 

Greetings dear readers, 

 

 In light of the intense reading of this interesting book, let's review its main themes in a reflective manner, that is, by looking inside the human being, analyzing the personal behavior of the main characters here, Rodion Raskolnikov, Sofia Semyonovna Marmeladove and Porfiry Petrovich, on an ethical level in our society.

It is actually a psychological profile of the whole humanity, especially as it relates to crime and punishment experiences and the consequences of the cost of life economical pressure.

 

I consider that the origin of all evil things or bad acts comes from envy. On one hand, we are living in a material world where money rules. It's sad, but it's true. The consequences of our actions are directly related to the way of the corrupt political system operates the gap and also the established social morality rules. 

 

There is a huge difference in our own social levels. There is a lot of wealth, but we also have extreme poverty, social inequality, and a lack of opportunities, specially for the young. 

 

Education and family values are critical and sensitive themes of human nature. The combination of faith, conviction, reason, ego, pride, reflection, selfishness, kindness, empathy, the search for forgiveness and happiness. 

This whole set of characteristics shapes our instinctive response to certain situations of pressure and demands in our lives.

 

My final conclusion is to learn how to control our deep emotions in the face of all the leves of social or economical pressure that we face.

 

Best Regards,
