The ending was really enjoyable. The suicide, and to me I found one scene very funny. At any rate, these last few chapters revolved around Svid, Dunya, Sonya, and Rasklonikov. Svid kinda sorta kidnaps Dunya and tries to rape her. (lonely man) She tries to shoot him but misses. (wow that’s just sad I’d imagine he would be like at most 10 feet away) After the attempt at raping Dunya, Svid tells people he is leaving to AMERICA. (Cause America is the most wonderful place in the world) Svid has some crazy dreams, well crazy for him cause its nice dreams. He takes a little girl and wraps her in a blanket in one of his dreams and in the other it’s a dream about St. Peterberg flooding. After his craziness, he tells a soldier to tell people he went to AMERICA then suicides. Raskolnikov tells Dunya he commited the murders. Raskolnikov’s mother reads the article “On Crime”. Raskolnikov leaves to go confess publicly, but doesn’t cause he loses his confidence. Then he goes confesses to petrovich at the police station.
Now overall I didn’t really enjoy reading the book, only because some paragraphs will feel like they would drag on forever. Others wouldn’t even matter, some parts the author could have left out and the book would still be the same. The overall story line, however, was captivating. I enjoyed the murder scene, the prostitution (kinda), the suicide, and the tortured mind. The book allowed for characters to be universally hated or loved and I like any story that allows readers to connect with characters. I want to know what happens to Raskolnikov, I know he confess but does he get the death penalty or what goes on there.
