All her life Katerina Ivanovna has been looking for what and how to feed her children; she endures poverty and deprivation. Proud, ardent, adamant, left a widow with three children, she, under the threat of hunger and poverty, was forced, “crying and sobbing, and wringing her hands, to marry a nondescript official, a widower with a fourteen-year-old daughter Sonya, who, in turn, marries Katerina Ivanovna out of a feeling of pity and compassion. The surrounding environment seems like a real hell to her, and the human meanness that she encounters at every step hurts her painfully. Katerina Ivanovna does not know how to endure and remain silent, like Sonya. Her strongly developed sense of justice prompts her to take decisive action, which leads to a misunderstanding of her behavior by those around her. She is of noble origin, from a bankrupt noble family, so it is many times harder for her than for her stepdaughter and husband. The point is not even in everyday difficulties, but in the fact that Katerina Ivanovna does not have an outlet in life, like Sonya and Semyon Zakharych. Sonya finds solace in prayers and in the Bible, and her father forgets himself at least for a while in a tavern. Katerina Ivanovna is a passionate, daring, rebellious and impatient person. The behavior of Katerina Ivanovna on the day of Marmeladov’s death shows that love for one’s neighbor is deeply embedded in the human soul, that it is natural for a person, even if he does not realize it. “And thank God he’s dying! Less loss!" - Katerina Ivanovna exclaims at the bedside of her dying husband, but at the same time she fusses around the patient, gives him something to drink, straightens the pillows. Bonds of love and compassion bind Katerina Ivanovna and Sonya. Sonya does not condemn the stepmother, who once pushed her stepdaughter onto the panel. On the contrary, the girl defends Katerina Ivanovna in front of Raskolnikov, “worried and suffering and wringing her hands.” And a little later, when Luzhin publicly accuses Sonya of stealing money, Raskolnikov sees with what fierceness Katerina Ivanovna rushes to Sonya’s defense. Need and poverty oppress the Marmeladov family, driving Katerina Ivanovna to consumption, but a sense of self-worth lives in her. Dostoevsky himself says about her: “And Katerina Ivanovna was not one of the downtrodden, she could be completely killed by circumstances, but it was impossible to kill her morally, that is, to intimidate and subjugate her will.” It was this desire to feel like a full-fledged person that forced Katerina Ivanovna to organize a luxurious wake. Dostoevsky constantly emphasizes this desire with the words “proudly and with dignity she examined her guests,” “she did not deign to answer,” “she noticed loudly across the table.” Next to the feeling of self-respect, another great feeling lives in Katerina Ivanovna’s soul - kindness. She tries to justify her husband, saying: “Imagine, Rodion Romanovich, I found a gingerbread cockerel in his pocket: he’s walking dead drunk, but he remembers about the children.” She, pressing Sonya tightly, as if with her breasts wants to protect her from Luzhin’s accusations, says: “Sonya! Sonya! I don't believe!" In search of justice, Katerina Ivanovna runs out into the street. She understands that after the death of her husband, the children are doomed to starvation, that fate is unkind to them. So Dostoevsky, contradicting himself, refutes the theory of consolation and humility, which supposedly leads everyone to happiness and well-being, when Katerina Ivanovna rejects the consolation of the priest. The end of Katerina Ivanovna is tragic. Unconscious, she runs to the general to ask for help, but their Lordships are having dinner, and the doors are closed in front of her. There is no longer any hope of salvation, and Katerina Ivanovna decides to take the last step: she goes to beg. The scene of the poor woman's death is very impressive. The words with which she dies (“they drove away the nag,” “strained herself”) Katerina Ivanovna’s face captures a tragic image of grief. This image contains enormous power of protest. He stands among the eternal images of world literature.
- The central place in the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky is occupied by the image of Sonya Marmeladova, a heroine whose fate evokes our sympathy and respect. The more we learn about it, the more we are convinced of its purity and nobility, the more we begin to think...
F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment” is socio-psychological. In it, the author raises important social issues that worried people of that time. The originality of this novel by Dostoevsky lies in the fact that it shows psychology...
F. M. Dostoevsky is “a great artist of ideas” (M. M. Bakhtin). The idea determines the personality of his heroes, who “do not need millions, but need to resolve the idea.” The novel “Crime and Punishment” is a debunking of the theory of Rodion Raskolnikov, a condemnation of the principle...
Dostoevsky is rightfully considered a psychological writer. In the novel “Crime and Punishment,” a psychological analysis of the state of the criminal before and after committing a murder is merged with an analysis of Raskolnikov’s “idea.” The novel is structured in such a way that the reader constantly...

Inflamed, Katerina Ivanovna immediately spread about all the details of the future wonderful and calm life in T.; about the gymnasium teachers whom she would invite for lessons at her boarding school; about one venerable old man, the Frenchman Mango, who taught Katerina Ivanovna in French at the institute and who is still living out his life in T.

Part four
Chapter 1
Raskolnikov remembers what Svidrigailov did. He declares that there is much more similarity between them than it seems at first glance (“birds of a feather”). Svidrigailov is trying to persuade Raskolnikov to arrange a meeting for him with Dunya, since his wife left the girl three thousand, and he himself would like to give Dunya ten thousand for all the troubles he caused her. Rodion refuses to arrange their meeting.
Chapter 2
Raskolnikov and Razumikhin come to Rodion’s family. His mother and sister are sincerely glad to see him, however, Luzhin is their guest. He is angry: after all, he asked not to meet with him in the presence of Dunya’s brother and now refuses to discuss the upcoming celebration.
Chapter 3
Luzhin reproaches Dunya for not appreciating the wonderful chance that her family gets with this marriage. He sincerely believes that he is saving the Raskolnikovs from poverty. Proud Dunya is offended by this statement and, moreover, says that she has no right to choose between her fiancé and her brother. Luzhin loses his temper and a quarrel breaks out. Dunya with dignity asks him to leave. This is where the relationship between Dunya and Luzhin ends.
Chapter 4
Raskolnikov comes to Sonya’s apartment: he wonders what Sonya will do now, because after Marmeladov’s death the whole family is on her.
She says that she cannot leave the unfortunate people to certain death. At one point, Sonya cannot stand Raskolnikov’s cynicism and begins to cry. In response to this, the young man suddenly falls to his knees in front of her. Sonya is frightened, thinking that Raskolnikov has gone crazy, but he explains to her that in her face he bowed to “all human suffering.” Noticing the New Testament lying on the “harlot’s” table, he asks to read to him about the resurrection of Lazarus. Sonya is reading.
In a conversation with Sonya, Raskolnikov unexpectedly realizes that despite the severity of the situation in which the girl finds herself, she managed to maintain the purity of her soul. Raskolnikov solemnly promises Sonya next time to tell her who killed Lizaveta. Their conversation does not remain a secret: Svidrigailov lives behind the partition in the next room, who hears every word.
Chapter 5
A day later, Raskolnikov again finds himself at Porfiry Petrovich’s: he has come to get his things. The investigator again starts a game with him. Tired and irritated, unable to resist the pitfalls of the interrogation, Raskolnikov demands either that he be officially accused of murder or that it all stop. Porfiry Petrovich unexpectedly informs Rodion that he has a “surprise” for him, and it is not very clear which one: good or bad. Raskolnikov, with his nerves upset, is about to leave.
Chapter 6
Suddenly Mikola, one of the painters, is brought into the room. In the presence of Porfiry and Raskolnikov, he takes the blame for the murder of the old pawnbroker and her sister. Porfiry asks Raskolnikov to leave. Near his house, Raskolnikov meets that stranger, a tradesman, who had already once called him a “murderer.” It turns out that he came to apologize for slandering Raskolnikov to the investigator: in fact, he was the very “surprise” promised to Rodion by Porfiry. Now that the real killer is known, the tradesman admits that he was mistaken and regrets it. Raskolnikov calms down for a while.

Epilogue
Chapter 1
Raskolnikov was sentenced to eight years of hard labor (instead of twenty, for the confession and troubles of Porfiry, as well as Razumikhin, the term was reduced).
Unhappy Pulcheria Alexandrovna falls ill as soon as her son goes on trial; she has a disorder of consciousness: not wanting to believe that her son is a murderer, she creates an illusion for herself, which she believes in with all her heart. She believes that Rodion has left. Pretty soon she dies. Dunya marries Razumikhin, and Porfiry Petrovich is also present at the wedding. The young people are going to move to Siberia to live with Raskolnikov as soon as they save money. Razumikhin claims that there is good land in Siberia and it is possible to develop the economy.
Sonya was going to follow Raskolnikov from the very beginning, and she does so. The convicts dearly love the girl for her kindness and meekness, but, on the contrary, everyone shuns Raskolnikov: the young man repels him with his gloominess and keeps to himself (it becomes clear that although he confessed, there was no internal repentance for his deed).

Chapter 2
Raskolnikov falls ill “from wounded pride” and ends up in the infirmary.
The young man takes a very long time to recover. He has a dream in which the essence of his idea is allegorically conveyed: a strange and terrible epidemic has spread to the world, which came from Asia and captured all of Europe. Microscopic creatures, “trichinas,” inhabited people’s bodies and instilled in them their painful ideas designed to divide humanity. They inspired people with exorbitant pride: “People who accepted them into themselves immediately became possessed and crazy. But never, never have people considered themselves as smart and unshakable in the truth as the infected believed. They have never considered their sentences, their scientific conclusions, their moral convictions and beliefs more unshakable” - Raskolnikov’s dream about the end of the world
People kill "each other in some senseless rage." Salvation awaited only a select few, pure in soul. They were destined to “start a new race of people and a new life, renew and cleanse the earth.”
When Raskolnikov recovers, something changes in him, and first of all this is manifested in his attitude towards Sonya. Strangely angry before, he warms up to her and once even throws himself on his knees in front of her in tears. She understands “that he loves, loves her endlessly”:
“He cried and hugged her knees. At the first moment she was terribly frightened, and her whole face turned pale. She jumped up from her seat and, trembling, looked at him. But immediately, at that very moment, she understood everything. Infinite happiness shone in her eyes; she understood, and there was no longer any doubt for her that he loved, loved her endlessly, and that this moment had finally come... They wanted to talk, but could not. There were tears in their eyes. They were both pale and thin; but in these sick and pale faces the dawn of a renewed future, a complete resurrection into a new life, was already shining. They were resurrected by love, the heart of one contained endless sources of life for the heart of the other.” - "Crime and Punishment".
Epilogue, II Repentance and faith in God awaken in Raskolnikov:
“... begins... the story of the gradual renewal of man, the story of his gradual rebirth, gradual transition from one world to another, acquaintance with a new, hitherto completely unknown reality” - the end of the novel
What words does Katerina Ivanovna begin with with children on the street?
Lebezyatnikov looked alarmed. - I’m coming to you, Sofya Semyonovna. Sorry... I thought I’d find you,” he suddenly turned to Raskolnikov, “that is, I didn’t think anything... like that... but that’s exactly what I thought... Katerina Ivanovna went crazy there,” he suddenly snapped at Sonya, leaving Raskolnikov.
Sonya screamed. - That is, at least that’s what it seems like.
However... We don’t know what to do there, that’s what! She returned - it seemed that she had been kicked out from somewhere, maybe she had been killed... at least that’s what it seems... She ran to the boss of Semyon Zakharych, but didn’t find him at home; he was having lunch with some general too... Imagine, she waved to where they were having lunch... to this other general, and, imagine, she insisted, called the boss Semyon Zakharych, and, it seems, from behind the table.
You can imagine what happened there. She was, of course, kicked out; and she says that she herself scolded him and threw something at him.

Katerina Ivanovna is a rebel who passionately intervenes in an unjust and hostile environment. She is an immensely proud person, in a fit of offended feeling she goes against common sense, putting not only her own life on the altar of passion, but, what is even worse, the well-being of her children.
We learn that Marmeladov’s wife Katerina Ivanovna married him with three children from Marmeladov’s conversation with Raskolnikov.
“I have the image of an animal, and Katerina Ivanovna, my wife, is an educated person and born a staff officer’s daughter….
. she is filled with a high heart and feelings ennobled by upbringing... Katerina Ivanovna, although a generous lady, is unfair...
. she pulls out my hair... Know that my wife was brought up in the noble provincial noble institute and upon graduation she danced with a shawl in front of the governor and other people, for which she received a gold medal and a certificate of merit.

The maid Nastasya comes to him. She brought him a summons from the police officer: the hero needed to appear at the police office. Raskolnikov is worried, but the reason for the call turns out to be trivial: they demand a receipt from him for the debt to the landlady. When Raskolnikov leaves the station, he hears the police discussing the murder of a pawnbroker. Excitement overcomes him, and the young man faints. Those around him think that he is sick, they revive him and send him home.

Chapter 6
In the Crystal Palace, one of the famous taverns, Raskolnikov meets the clerk Zametov.
They are talking about the murder of the pawnbroker. It is not very clear why, but Raskolnikov suddenly expresses his view of the crime and sets out in detail how he would behave if he were her murderer. He actually makes a confession, and asks Zametov what he would do if Raskolnikov, sitting in front of him, really turned out to be a murderer. The scribe decides that the student has a mental disorder and, of course, refuses to recognize him as a criminal. Walking around the city, Raskolnikov decides to drown himself, but, having changed his mind, half-delirious, he goes to the house of the murdered old money-lender. The house is being renovated. He talks to the painters about murder, but his feverish appearance scares off the workers: they take Raskolnikov for a madman.

Death of Katerina Ivanovna
June 27, 2021 » Katerina Ivanovna has gone crazy.
She ran to the deceased’s former boss to ask for protection, but she was kicked out of there, and now the crazy woman is going to go begging on the street, forcing the children to sing and dance. Sonya grabbed her mantilla and hat and ran out of the room, getting dressed as she ran. The men followed her. Lebezyatnikov talked about the reasons for Katerina Ivanovna’s madness, but Raskolnikov did not listen, but, reaching his house, nodded his head to his companion and turned into the gateway.
Lebezyatnikov and Sonya forcibly found Katerina Ivanovna - not far from here, on the canal. The widow is completely crazy: she hits the frying pan, makes the children dance, they cry; they are about to be taken to the police. We hurried to the canal, where a crowd had already gathered.
Katerina Ivanovna’s hoarse voice could be heard from the bridge. She, tired and out of breath, either screamed at the crying children, whom she dressed in some old clothes, trying to give them the appearance of street performers, or rushed to the people and talked about her unhappy fate. She forced Polechka to sing and the younger ones to dance.

Part six
Chapter 1
Raskolnikov wakes up at lunchtime and realizes that he is late for Katerina Ivanovna's funeral. He decides to come at least to her wake. Razumikhin comes to him: a friend is trying to find out if Raskolnikov is really crazy, everyone is worried about him. Pulcheria Alexandrovna fell ill from her worries. Razumikhin also asks what kind of relationship Raskolnikov has with Sonya. Having received no answers, the friend leaves, but Porfiry Petrovich appears on the threshold.
Chapter 2
Porfiry honestly opens up to Raskolnikov: he is convinced that Rodion is the murderer. That old article gives him away, and Zametov conveyed every word from their conversation in the tavern to the investigator. He also honestly tells Raskolnikov that he sympathizes and sympathizes with him, so he gives him two days to confess. Although there is no evidence against Raskolnikov, the investigator definitely believes that the young man will come. Raskolnikov continues to deny guilt.
Chapter 3
Raskolnikov decides to meet with Svidrigailov - he is strangely attracted to this bad man.
They see each other in a tavern, Raskolnikov understands that there is something strange in Svidrigailov’s face: “It was... a face that looked like a mask: white, ruddy, with ruddy, scarlet lips, with a light blond beard and still quite thick blond hair. The eyes were somehow too blue, and their gaze was somehow too heavy and motionless. There was something terribly unpleasant in this handsome and extremely youthful, judging by his age, face” - about Svidrigailov
Chapter 4
Svidrigailov honestly tells him about the strange relationship with his wife: she knew and accepted the fact that Svidrigailov would never be faithful to her, but they entered into an agreement with many conditions, with whom and when he has the right to cheat on his wife.
“The fact is that she was much older than me, and besides, she constantly carried some kind of clove in her mouth. I had enough disgust in my soul and a kind of honesty to tell her outright that I couldn’t be completely faithful to her.” - from the story of Svidrigailov
Svidrigailov, despite all the depravity that he himself admits, fell in love with Dunya deeply and sincerely. Now Svidrigailov chose a bride for himself: for decency, peace of mind and because he wanted redemption, they got married “in absentia”, and he had never seen the girl.
Chapter 5
After leaving the tavern, Svidrigailov goes to meet Dunya without telling Raskolnikov about it. He asks her to come to his apartment and talks about the overheard conversation between Sonya and her brother. He offers her a deal: he will save her brother if Dunya agrees to be with him. Dunya is angry and tries to leave, but finds that the door is locked from the inside. Then she takes out a revolver and shoots at Svidrigailov, but misses. Desperate, she asks to be released. Arkady Ivanovich, finally realizing that the girl will never love him, gives her the key. Dunya throws the revolver and leaves.
Chapter 6
In the evening, Svidrigailov walks from tavern to tavern, unable to find a place for himself.
Then he returns home and goes to say goodbye to Sonya: he tells her that he plans to leave for America. She thanks him for his help with the funeral. Svidrigailov gives her 3 thousand rubles, which Sonya initially refuses to take. Svidrigailov insists: this way she can live a normal life, and, in addition, they will be useful to her in hard labor, because she is ready to follow Raskolnikov to Siberia. Svidrigailov goes into the wild part of the city (to the present Petrograd side), goes to the hotel. He has several nightmares, then a five-year-old girl tries to seduce him, then a mouse seems to be running around his body, which he can’t catch, then he sees a teenage girl, for whose suicide he is to blame. At dawn he goes out into the street and, taking out Dunin’s revolver, shoots himself in the head.
Chapter 7
Raskolnikov comes to say goodbye to his family.
He does not reveal everything to his mother, informing only about his departure for a long time, but he opens up completely to Duna. He tells her about his decision to confess, and also says that he repents and honestly wants to start a new life. Rodion does not admit to committing a crime. The trouble is that his soul does not want to accept what he has done: “... I killed a nasty, malicious louse, an old pawnbroker, useless to anyone, whom killing forty sins will be forgiven, who sucked the juice out of the poor, and this is a crime? I don’t think about it and I don’t think about washing it off. And that everyone is poking at me from all sides: “crime, crime!” Only now I see clearly all the absurdity of my cowardice, now that I have decided to indulge in this unnecessary shame! I’m just taking the decision out of my baseness and mediocrity, and perhaps out of profit.” - Raskolnikov about his crime
He swears to Duna that he sincerely wanted good, and tried to “put himself in an independent position, take the first step, achieve the means, and there everything would be smoothed over with immeasurable, comparatively, benefits...”. But he was unable to achieve this desired independence from conscience. As a farewell, he gives his sister a portrait of his ex-fiancee.
Chapter 8
Raskolnikov again goes to Sonya. A believing girl gives him a cypress cross and tells him to go to the crossroads, kneel down and, kissing the ground, say out loud “I am a murderer” - he should feel better. Raskolnikov does what he is told, and then goes to the police station, he hears how Svidrigailov’s suicide is being discussed. Very excited, at the limit of his powers, Raskolnikov confesses to the murder (they hand him a glass of water, thinking that he is unwell):
