    Crime and Punishment, Fathers and Sons, We

    Brilliance surely comes with a price. Often a protagonist is, in his own right, an absolute genius, but for this gift of vision, he must remain isolated for eternity. Crime and Punishment (1886), by Fyodor Dostoevsky, depicts a poverty stricken young man who discovers a revolutionary theory of the mind of a criminal. Despite his psychological insight, Raskolnikov is alienated from society, and eventually forced to test his theory upon himself. Ivan Turgenev’s Bazarov,

    Capital Punishment: With Equal Justice for All

    The figure of Lady Justice is a fixture in courtrooms around the U.S. She is blindfolded, representing justice as impartial and holding a scale, giving weight only to the evidence in a trial, not to the stature of the accused. On her right hand she carries a sword, signifying the power of those who make decisions. While Lady Justice symbolizes impartiality and strength in the American justice system, two important traits the courts should possess,

    An Analysis of Imagery and Diction in a Selected Passage of Crime and Punishment

    An Analysis of Imagery and Diction in a Selected Passage of Crime and Punishment Through forceful and precise manipulation of both imagery and diction, Fyodor Dostoyevsky creates a violent scenario involving the slaughter of an innocent mare in order to foreshadow the murder of Alyona Ivanovna by Raskolinkov. Dostoyevsky depicts the killing of the horse as one of senseless and meaningless violence by using specific word choice that is both active and carefully selected. Rather

Sacrifice and suffering is an underlying theme in the novel which runs parallel to the meaning behind "crime and punishment." Characters in this novel commit crime and sin through sacrifice and their punishment is their suffering. Raskolnikov's sacrifice

However, I do not agree with the way that the law thinks that problem should be handled through the death penalty.

  • Capital Punishment

    Capital Punishment

    Capital punishment is the execution of a perpetrator for committing a heinous crime (homicide), and it is a hotly debated topic in our society. The basic issue is whether capital punishment should be allowed as it is today, or abolished in part or in whole. My argument is that: 1) Capital punishment is not an effective deterrent for heinous crimes. 2) Life imprisonment can be worse of a punishment than death, not as costly as
