>commit pre-planned murder of 2 people and a robbery>get sentenced to 8 years of "hard labor">your girlfriend lives next door and visits you all the timewhat is the moral of this story?
>>25596925Russian empire was extremely lenient on crime after the establishment of the jury courts, irl Raskolnikov would have a pretty good chance of being acquitted. Dostoevsky writes a lot about it in "writer's diary".
>>25596925you can turn it around in your 30s
You can kinda just chill out and do some shit and shit will be chill at the end of the day. I didn't finish the book.
>>25596925The moral is that if you commit a crime, there will be punishment.
>>25596925Later in Soviet Russia you’d get a longer prison sentence for stealing a potato from a collective farm. Russians have a hard time with crime and justice
>heh heh hehi'm almost done reading and it was actually very good.
>>25596925I can already tell you didn't actually read the book, please make better bait next time.
for what its worth, only one murder was premeditated
>>25598513Legally speaking, I think they both were. The murder of the mean old lady was obviously premeditated. The murder to cover up that murder, although not meticulously pre-planned, can still be considered premeditated. Googles automatic AI helper agrees with me, for whatever that’s worth. That fucking thing can’t tell a Melville quote from a HG Wells one though.
>>25596925His sentence wasn't his punishment you dumb nigger
>>25598645what was? nothing really happened
>>25598663Really you didn't read the book, so what happened.. You read a summary of the book, you listened to a review of the book, or you're intentionally misrepresenting the book to shit on it as bait for replies.. What is it?PS: Have you ever taken an actual IQ test before?
>>25596931In general it is crazy how much more oppressive law has become vs back in the day in some ways. Many 19th century stories of like French anarchists doing like 50 bank heists and blowing up the car of a politician and getting like 5 years in jail.
>>25599435I read the book, so what? That's why I made the thread
It's hard to imagine what life would be like and how you would try to make sense of it if criminality was a nonnegotiable part of your cultural soul, but if you just imagine instead that you are Russian it's the same thing, just you already know what it looks like.
>>25596972If nobody's out to get you, it might be true.
>>25597302It's his best work
>>25596968What’s Anno got to do with this?
>>25600963…if we’re forgetting TBK and Demons
>>25600970Both are great but not even close to Child & Porn
>>25599442me dumb but it's a bit odd how talked about Soviet prison camps/gulags compared to Tsarist prison camps. Were Soviet prisoners more literate?
>>25596925in the US you can stab people (as long as you're black and only stab white women) and get away with it with no prison time at all. that's a harsh punishment in comparison
>>25601277Why would you throw someone in prison for stabbing a white woman
Did Porfery know?
>>25601092Because the Gulags affected a lot more people and were fundamentally unjust.
>>25600968he's cute
Does the whole pronoun thing with Svidrigailov and Raskolnikov's sister imply that he was cumming inside her or whatThe translation note doesn't explain too well what it actually meant in Russian
