520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc The novel follows Rodion Raskolnikov, an impoverished and alienated former law student living in St. Petersburg, Russia. Driven by a nihilistic philosophy that categorizes people into "ordinary" and "extraordinary" individuals, he theorizes that certain "extraordinary" men (like Napoleon) have the right, even the duty, to transgress moral laws if it serves a higher purpose. To test this theory and perhaps escape his dire poverty, Raskolnikov meticulously plans and commits the murder of a callous old pawnbroker, Alyona Ivanovna, and inadvertently, her innocent half-sister, Lizaveta.<br/><br/>However, the "punishment" in the title refers less to the legal consequences (though those come) and more to the intense psychological and spiritual torment that immediately consumes Raskolnikov. He is plagued by overwhelming guilt, paranoia, feverish delirium, and profound isolation. His carefully constructed intellectual justifications crumble under the weight of his conscience.
