Crime and Punishment
When arrogant beliefs crumble, how can a human being find true redemption and rebuild their soul from the ruins?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Raskolnikov's arrogance—that the extraordinary man has the right to step beyond the moral law. When I first picked up this book, I was overwhelmed by its suffocating portrait of a murderer's mind. But the real story begins only after the crime. A young man who believed himself a superman unravels under guilt and nervous collapse, until at last he is resurrected through the sacrificial love of Sonya, who dwells in the lowest of places. Dostoevsky proves, with crushing weight, how frail and self-deceiving human reason is, and that salvation comes not through the head but through the suffering of the heart.
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart."Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
"고통과 번민은 위대한 자각과 깊은 심장을 가진 사람에게는 언제나 필연적인 것이다."
