Summary of the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky “Crime and Punishment”


Part one

I

In 1865, a former law student Rodion Raskolnikov finally “crushed by poverty,” his closet resembles not an apartment, but a closet. A young man is tormented by painful and disturbing thoughts. He reflects on some mysterious matter, and this thought torments his mind for a month and a half, the thought of killing an old woman-interest. Raskolnikov goes to the interest-bearing Alena Ivanovna, gives her a watch in exchange for money and promises to bring soon a cigarette case made of pure silver. The young man does not understand how a terrible thought about murder could come into his head, and goes into the tavern.

II

In the raspavochnoy Raskolnikov gets acquainted with titular adviser Marmeladov. From the speech of an embarrassed titular counselor, a young man learns that Marmeladov’s wife, with three small children in her arms, Katerina Ivanovna, married the man from despair, she simply had nowhere to go, and yet she is intelligent

and educated. Marmeladov also drinks all the money. Once he joined the service, but he could not stand it and started drinking again, even took the last money from the house. Daughter Marmeladova Sonya was forced to go to the panel to somehow provide a family. Raskolnikov escorts a new acquaintance home, sees the poor situation in the room and leaves a small change on the window sill.

III

In the morning, Rodion reads a letter from his mother, from which he learns that his sister Dunya was slandered by Svidrigailovs. The girl worked in their house as a governess, and the mistress’s husband fell in love with her. When mistress Marfa Petrovna found out about this, she began to humiliate and insult Dunya.

Svidrigailov admitted that the governess was not to blame for anything. A forty-five-year-old Pyotr Petrovich Luzhin, who has a small capital, wooed the girl. Further Pulcheria Raskolnikova informs that they will soon come to Rodion to St. Petersburg, as Luzhin hurries with the wedding and wants to open a law firm in the city. A letter from the house very moved the hero, and he ran out into the

street.

IV

Raskolnikov does not want his sister to become Luzhin’s wife. He understands that the family agreed to this marriage only to end poverty and help Rodion. However, the hero understands that the poor student can not be equal with the rich Luzhin. And again, a long-tormented thought creeps into his mind.

V

Rodion wants to go to university friend Razumihin and borrow money from him, but refuses this idea. The young man spends the last money on a piece of cake and a glass of vodka, after which he falls asleep in the bushes. He dreams a terrible dream, in which the peasants slaughter the old horse to death, and he is quite small and can do nothing. The boy kisses the dead nag and rushes at the man with his fists. Waking up, Raskolnikov again thinks about the murder and doubts that he will decide on him. At the market near Sennaya Square, the hero sees the old woman’s sister Lizaveta. From her conversation with the traders, he realizes that the next day at seven o’clock in the evening the percussionist will be at home alone. Rodion thinks that for him now “everything is decided definitively.”

VI

Raskolnikov considers it unfair that the old woman does not do any good to society and has a decent condition at the same time. He is convinced that the death of an insignificant being can save lives for hundreds of other needy people. After spending the whole day in a state close to delirium, the student takes an ax from the janitor and goes to the old woman.

VII

When Alena Ivanovna takes a cigarette from Rodion and turns to face the window, a young man with an ax’s ax beats her on the head. When Raskolnikov goes into the room of the interest-bearing woman, Lizaveta returns unexpectedly. The hero is confused and kills the sister of the old woman. Taking himself in hand, the young man washes his hands and ax, locks the door, which was open. Interesting clients come to the market. The student waits for them to leave and leaves the apartment, hiding in an empty room one floor below.

Part two

I

Raskolnikov sleeps until three in the afternoon and remembers, waking up, that he did not hide the things that he had taken from Alena Ivanovna. He touches them, flushes blood stains from things. Nastasya gives the hero a summons brought from the police office from the quarter. When the student comes to the station, it turns out that the landlady of the apartment through the law enforcement agencies requires him to pay for housing. The warden takes a receipt from the young man with an obligation to pay the debt. When Rodion is about to leave, he hears the policemen’s dialogue about the murder of the interest-bearer and faints. Everybody decides that he is sick, and they send him home.

II

Raskolnikov is afraid of a search and decides to get rid of the things of his victim. He goes around the city, but he can not do it, because everywhere is quite crowded. Finally he hid things. The hero comes to Razumikhin, not having any specific purpose of the visit. A friend thinks he is sick. Returning home, the young man almost falls under the carriage. The woman sitting in it accepts the hero as a beggar and gives him a twenty-something. Raskolnikov throws money into the river. The student raves all night, and in the morning loses consciousness.

III

Rodion comes to himself in a few days. Next to him are Razumikhin and Nastasia. The student is brought a translation from the mother. Razumikhin says that the police officer Zametov often visited the hero and was interested in his things. Left alone, Raskolnikov carefully examines his room and all the things, wondering if there were any traces of the crime left on them. Razumihin brings new clothes to his friend.

IV

Raskolnikov is visited by another friend, a medical student, Zosimov. From the talk of the guests about the murder of the old woman – the interest-bearer and her sister Lizaveta, Rodion learns that many people are suspected, including the dyer Mikola.

V

Petr Petrovich Luzhin comes to Raskolnikov’s apartment. He reports that he found a home for his bride and her mother. Luzhin makes an unpleasant impression on the students, because he loves only himself. Young people are talking about crime again. The hero learns that Porfiry Petrovich is interrogating all the clients of the old woman. Raskolnikov rebukes Luzhin in that he wants to marry a girl from a poor family so that she will always consider her husband as her benefactor and submit to him. Pyotr Petrovich is indignant and says that Pulcheria Aleksandrovna has distorted the meaning of his words. Rodion promises to release the guest from the stairs.

VI

In a tavern “Crystal Palace” Rodion again meets with Zametov. Raskolnikov said how he would act on the place of the murderer of the old woman: as if he had replaced the traces of the crime, wherever the stolen one had been hiding. Zametov says he does not believe that the student is involved in the crime. Walking around the city, Rodion Raskolnikov approaches the Neva and thinks about suicide. On his eyes a woman throws herself into the water, but she is rescued. The young man refuses to think about suicide. In a half-wretched state, the hero goes to the house of the murdered interest-bearer, where repairs are being carried out. He talks with the workers about the crime, and they consider him insane. Rodion is going to go to Razumihin for a party, but he hears nearby noise and goes there.

VII

The carriage moved Marmeladova. The victim is taken home, Katerina Ivanovna is in despair, she is angry and yells at the crowd of onlookers. Sonechka comes and Rodion notices that she looks ridiculously in a screaming outfit amidst the poor situation of the room. Marmeladov asks her daughter for forgiveness and dies. Raskolnikov gives the family all his money for a funeral. A young man is overtaken by the daughter of Katerina Ivanovna Poleschka, who gives her his address. Raskolnikov feels that he is beginning to recover. He goes to a party to a friend, after which Razumihin escorts him home. Approaching the house, the student sees the light in his windows. Rising, he sees his mother and sister, faints.

Part Three

I

Rodion Raskolnikov comes to himself and asks his relatives not to worry for him. The young man argues with his sister about Luzhin, demands that Dunya render Petr Petrovich. Razumikhin likes his friend’s sister, he tries to prove to her that he and Luzhin are not a couple. Native students leave, because Rodion wants to be alone.

II

In the morning Razumihin comes to Rodion’s mother and sister, asks Dounia for forgiveness for the words about her fiance, apologizes for her quick temper. Luzhin sends a note to the ladies, informing him that he wants to visit them, but asks that Raskolnikov at that moment in the house be absent.

III

Raskolnikov tells about the death of Marmeladov, learns from his mother about the death of Svidrigailova. Rodion is told about Pyotr Petrovich’s note, and he is ready to do as his family will. Dunya wants his brother to be present at the time of her husband’s visit.

IV

Sonia comes to Raskolnikov and invites him to the funeral of Marmeladov. Rodion represents her mother and sister, although the reputation of the girl does not allow her to communicate with the ladies on equal terms. Leaving, Dunya bows to Marmeladova. Raskolnikov asks him to introduce him to Porfiry Petrovich, as he wants to take back the things he himself pawned from the old woman. Sonia is pursued by some stranger and talks to her.

V

Raskolnikov, along with Razumikhin, goes to Porfiry Petrovich. Rodion jokes about the friend’s sympathy for Dunya. At Porfiry friends see Zametov. The offender wants to find out if the investigator knows about his recent visit to the victim’s home. From the conversation with the police, the hero realizes that he is suspected of murder. Porfiry Petrovich reminds the student of his article published in the newspaper “Periodic speech”. In the article Raskolnikov’s theory is stated, according to which people are divided into ordinary, that is, “material”, and extraordinary.

Unusual people can allow their conscience to commit a crime for the common good. Investigator Porphyry asks the hero about the details: for example, did he see the dyers during the visit to the interest-holder. Rodion, being afraid of allowing oversight, hesitates with an answer. Razumikhin said that his friend was in the house three days before the murder, and the dyers on the day of the crime worked. Porphyry bids farewell to the students.

VI

When Raskolnikov approaches his house, an unknown man calls him a murderer and immediately leaves. The hero is again tormented by fever. He dreams of this passerby. He beckons him to Alena Ivanovna’s apartment. Rodion beats the old woman with an ax over his head, and she laughs. The young man wants to run, but there are people around him who condemn him. Raskolnikov wakes up. He comes to Arkady Ivanovich Svidrigailov.

II

IV

Rodion comes to Sonia and says that her victim is in vain. The girl responds that she can not leave her relatives, since they will simply die of hunger without her. The young man bows to Marmeladova at her feet, saying that she bows “to all human suffering.” Raskolnikov learns that Sonechka was friends with the late Lizaveta. On the table, the girl has the Gospel brought by the interest-bearing sister. The student asks him to read about the resurrection of Lazarus. Then Rodion promises to come next day and say who killed Lizaveta. Their conversation is heard by Svidrigailov, who is at this time in the next room.

V

The next day Rodion goes to Porfiry Petrovich and asks for his things to be returned. The investigator again checks it. Raskolnikov does not stand up and asks to plead guilty or innocent of murder. The man leaves the answer. He reports that there is some surprise in the next room.
