Crime and Punishment: A Readers Guide delves into the narrative strategy, psychology, and ideology of the novel. Martinsen highlights how Dostoevsky skillfully immerses the reader in Raskolnikov's fevered mind, evoking sympathy for him, and explains why most readers root for his escape from the crime scene. Subsequently, Dostoevsky offers outsider perspectives on Raskolnikov's thinking, shifting reader sympathy. Through an examination of the various justifications for murder presented by Raskolnikov during his confession to Sonya, Dostoevsky challenges rationality-based theories. Finally, the question of why Raskolnikov and others, including the reader, focus on the murder of the pawnbroker while neglecting the unintended killing of Lizaveta reveals a narrative strategy rooted in shame and guilt.
