First and foremost, THANK YOU JESUS! You always said there's an end to every beginning...(or was that someone else?) Still, I couldn't have made it through this book without you.
Now, that thats done with, have you noticed that unconspicuous quote about love, from Raskolnikov? Well if you haven't, here it is:"Oh, if only I were alone and nobody loved me, and if I had never loved anyone! All this would never have happened!"(440). Raskolnikov is basically blaming all his troubles on love (for humanity too, maybe?). Yet, at the end, love gives him a reason for living (wonderful ending, by the way, him and Sonya forever). Could his new found love be another form of redemption? I think so, because of the reasons stated above. And did you catch the quote that minutely summarizes the body of the novel...?Okay, its this : "In the prison Rodion Raskolnikov, second-class convict, had been confined for nine months. It was almost eighteen since the day of the murder"(451). This quote is saying that a sentence for a crime begins right after you commit it (if you are guilty like Raskolnikov). This quote shows that Raskolnikov should've been in jail right after committing his crime since he was still "confined" either way.
