    "What shall he profit, if his injustice be undetected and unpunished?
    He who is undetected only gets worse, whereas he who is detected
    and punished has the brutal part of his nature silenced and
    humanized; the gentler element in him is liberated, and his whole
    soul is perfected and ennobled by the acquirement of justice and
    temperance and wisdom, more than the body ever is by receiving
    gifts of beauty, strength and health, in proportion as the soul is
    more honourable than the body " - from The Republic by the one and only. Dostoevsky took this lesson and turned it into a best seller. There could have not been any other ending to Crime and Punishment

    I read Edgar Allen Poes The Tell Tale Heart right around the same time that I read Crime and Punishment just coincidentally and the scene where Svidragilov was sitting in Raskolnikov's room in the dark was so reminiscent of the scene where the crazy man from Poes story was opening the door to the guys room and just standing there in complete silence that I wondered if Dostoevsky was inspired by it so I did a little research and it turns out that Dostoevsky wrote the forward to the very first russian translation of Poe's stories.

      Is it fiction or reality suppressed by the will to civilization. I grew in the woods of Africa, not much education at least not enough to give me the world view at large so Doystoyevski's world that formulated his perception of his world would have been alien to me yet our common denominator, humanity made me understand him and see the dark humour, the compassion, the struggles of being etcetra in his work.

The "older sister" is in her early 40s and the younger in her late 20s 🙄. I think Raskolnikov's attitude about the older lady's age is worth considering in light of his essay "On Crime."
