Because I wish to live up to my moniker, Fatti the Cynical Complainer, I have to do just that:complain. First off, while the story is intriguing I find myself zoning out a lot due to the really long sentences and the paragraphs that seem to be about nothing.The characters talk to no end which is really annoying.I'm surprised no one has told any of the characters to shut up.I have realized,while reading, that I do not like a single character in the novel. They are all either terribly boring(Nastasya) or just annoying(Luzhin). And don't get me started on Marmeladov, a character I was not upset in the least when he died(Hope they have alcohol in Hell!)
Now as to the question of people redeeming themselves....that is a tough dilemma to deal with. People can definitely redeem themselves depending on the nature of their crime.If someone lied to you and realized how much it bothered you and decided to not do it again then that would be ok. If someone killed someone and then realized how bad it was....then it wouldn't be as ok. I definitely believe people can feel bad for their sins.Guilt is one of the worst emotions that one can have(trust me,the guilt from losing the kid I was babysitting two years ago still consumes me.Literally.It already ate my arm).So if you feel guilt and truly realize the injustice of what you did, then you can start to atone.
The only reason people like seeing sinners feel guilty is that the sinners can finally feel a bit of the pain that the people have been through.At least that's why I want people who have wronged me and people I know to feel guilty.I can forgive but I still want those who have wronged me to be punished.And when the government type of punishment doesnt come to them,then guilt is the next best choice. Speaking of....R-cubed first goes though paranoia and then starts to feel guilt which is good.But how good is it?He promises to take care of Marmeladov's family just to atone for his sins.So unlike Ruzumikhin,who actually is good just to be good, R-cubed isn't really being all that nice.It's like kids who do community service just for college,not to actually help people.I don't know man.This blog is definitely not one of my better ones;it's all over the place..You can give me your disappointed look tomorrow Mr. B.I got 99 problems and being lazy tonight is one of them.
