Description: Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" by Deborah A. Martinsen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A chapter-by-chapter guide to Dostoevskys most popular novel that reveals how Crime and Punishment works. Narrative strategy, why the novel is not a whodunit but whydunit, and clear explanations of the novels ideological debates. Publisher Description Crime and Punishment: A Readers Guide focuses on narrative strategy, psychology, and ideology. Martinsen demonstrates how Dostoevsky first plunges the reader into Raskolnikovs fevered brain, creating sympathy for him, and she explains why most readers root for him to get away from the scene of the crime. Dostoevsky subsequently provides outsider perspectives on Raskolnikovs thinking, effecting a conversion in reader sympathy. By examining the multiple justifications for murder Raskolnikov gives as he confesses to Sonya, Dostoevsky debunks rationality-based theories. Finally, the question of why Raskolnikov and others, including the reader, focus on the murder of the pawnbroker and forget the unintended murder of Lizaveta reveals a narrative strategy based on shame and guilt.
