Crime and Punishment Analysis (Part 2)

I decided to re-read and analyse Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. My main goal is to discuss it with you and to broaden my perspective.You can tune in every week and share your thoughts in the comments and ask questions, so that we can create a community of open-minded people who want to dive deeper into the books they read.

Your videos have been very helpful to me. I was inspired to read classic literature recently and this is my first Dostoyevsky book. I struggle sometimes with comprehension, so I seek out videos like yours and you’ve really helped me to connect with this book in a deeper way. Thank you for making these, I know it can’t be easy!

I just finished part 2 tonight and couldn’t wait to compare notes with your analysis. So far both videos have been well researched, offering good insights and greatly enhancing my experience with the text. Can’t wait to finish part 3! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your amazing contribution to society by uploading these! I'm falling in love with this book as I read it and your videos have certainly enriched the experience. This is an easy enough book to read and understand the story, but the levels of depth you've uncovered thus far have helped uncover depths within myself I didn't know were there. The book does a good job on its own, but I've already mentioned your videos to those I've recommended the book to. Thank you!

I'm sorry for the delay! The export took longer than expected.

Can you please enable the option of automatic subtitles in this video?
This is the only video in this series that doesn't have automatic subtitles. Thank you.

One thing I noticed in dostoevsky's books is how the protaginasts sometimes starts walking with a total absent mind yet the always end up arriving to their destonations

[PowderedDonutCrew]

You have really been aiding my understanding of the text and I am so very thankful. This is my first time reading Dostoyevsky, and honestly a text in it's class and I have been finding it as recondite as it is shocking, disturbing, and soul-rending. I couldn't help but crying during a certain fateful scene in part 2.

Anyway, comparing my understanding with your more well rounded insights has been a true joy and help. I have a feeling that I will need to reread this masterpiece moreover to grasp the subtleties you describe. I'm LOVING it tho

I just read this book for the first time. I bought the book in a small shop while on a short vacation on Cape Cod, Massachusetts (not far from my home).You are never too old to learn. Thank you for your wonderful insights. I'm in love now with Russian literature.

[oliviaeff]

You are amazing! I enjoyed your analysis like I was enjoying the book all over again! Thank you!

[jeffseng]

Thank you again. I really love listening to you give your knowledge and insight. Reading the book I felt as though I was in the mind of Raskolnikov ( going mad with him?). It is in this sense that I was rooting for him, just like when you said you wanted to tell him to stop when he was talking to the police officer.

[shelby]

I absolutely love your videos they’re so helpful. Thank you!!

[stetsonstarkey]

Great job on these analysis videos! Do you plan to continue making more of these?

[samual]

Brilliant analysis! watching and taking notes. and for some reason you remind me of Virginia Woolf xx

[blingcicero]

Thank you. This novel is so difficult. I'm reading it for fun and many times I'm lost.

All the iconographic and theological connections with Sonya are fascinating. The other characters in this story seem so realistic, yet Sonya seems like a paragon of sorts.

[wyattmurr]

Thanks for your analysis! You are saving me for my school quizzes! Also, you are extremely beautiful :)

[moritzwagner]

Thank you again for the video. While reading, I really did not see so much symbolism in this work. Wow. Now I feel kind of stupid haha.

[chhhhhris]

I read Lenin's _"What is to be done?"_ although, its certainly different than Chernyshevsky's.

[fmzlmcw]

You may have said this, but I think the orientation of the axe symbolises the irony of taking punishment into your own hands, of adorning yourself with the right to act as judge, jury and executioner, as God. It bring no true reckoning for the evil person, but only destroys you, only makes a victim of innocents around you (Lizavetta). Ultimately, his crime did nothing for the greater good, only serving to tear apart his whole world.
