During this time of the novel, Rasklnikov has a few friends over. His friends discuss matters about the murder and Razumikhin is defending the honor of the painter. Further on Dunya’s fiancĂ© shows up and people hate him. Rasklnikov then gets angry and walks through the streets to a place called the Crystal Palace. Here he basically confesses to an inspector. Further on he finds Marmeladov dying because of a carriage. (GOD THAT’S HILARIOUS HE GOT HIT BY HORSES) Rasklnikov then carries Marmeladov to marmeladov’s home. Rasklnikov leaves but before going he LEAVES 20 RUBLES for the family. (BIG BALLIN) There you have it the plot summary of what basically happened, now for the good part.
Well redemption is something that’s hard to pin down to a single act for atonement. Like if I stole your Coffee, I could probably just pay you back the money and we could call it even. (Talking to you Mr.B) So yeah people can be redeemed. But Rasklnikov has it misconstrued and believes that he has reached redemption because he left the 20 rubles for the poor family. If a person does something absolutely terrible and thinks atonement/redemption is going to be easy man are they wrong. This all goes back to the person’s morals. If some believes that dogs shouldn’t die in the name of science then animal testers would not be able to be redeemed, in the eyes of the animal lovers. Personally I see that people can be redeemed for certain crimes or actions. Like stealing, okay that’s okay pay a fine or serve some time. But if you rape someone or take a life me and you are gonna have some issues. What influences my values are, well me. I see what is good with my own eyes. I see what is bad with my own eyes. I would say religion but I’m a guy who believes in god being in all of us, and not needing a superior being to tell me what’s good or bad. I think the human race is more than capable of doing this, but we are just lazy so the easiest way to rule out anything as immoral or moral is using religion. My parents and I don’t connect well so I don’t know what’s good or bad from them. Well let’s just leave it at I don’t let others influence me with what’s good or bad.
