Raskolnikov

Raskolnikov is the main character in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment." He is a former student living in St. Petersburg, who struggles with poverty and existential dilemmas. Believing he is above the law, he commits murder to prove his theory about extraordinary individuals being justified in transgressing moral boundaries for a greater purpose. Throughout the story, Raskolnikov grapples with guilt, isolation, and redemption, ultimately confronting his conscience and the consequences of his actions. His journey reflects deep philosophical themes about morality, power, and the human condition.
