Today, after murdering ErskinBrown, runi, and Jake Jacus consecutively without regret or compassion, I began to read the novel Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. Overall, I believe the to book have class and a well contemplated plot, even though I'm sure the aforementioned class would be exponentially more apparent had I the book in the original Russian, and had I the ability to read Russian. Though the story is quite classic and evidently popular, I couldn't help but feel a gap of relationship with the protagonist, Raskolnikov. Admittedly, he is Russian and he is quite a plain character; however, I had thought that we would have been able to relate on some level regardless of the fact that he is a fictional character from the 19th century. After all, we are one in the same on many planes; for example: he and I are both murderers. Furthermore, we both murdered (in my case murder) for the sake of society! Raskolnikov's motives may have been unsavory, yet nonetheless he rid his society of a useless meat-sack that did nothing but make others miserable. It was because of this that I felt initially that we were two peas in a pod of delightful contemplated murder. Naturally he did doubt his actions originally, but then again haven't we all? Who decides with such certainty that they will become a killer that they have no reservations about it whatsoever? Only the maniac, of course! This is another aspect by which Raskolnikov and I could relate. Only through careful contemplation and thought could we decide that murder was the best way to cleanse society. And of course we are both right in killing in the manner that we do (and did). However, I felt that Raskolnikov began to doubt himself. In fact, I am quite sure of it. His ensuing sickness after the murders seem to be a result of the uncalculated power of his moral conscious, of which he had obviously disregarded in the time leading up to his killings. It seems as if his essay On Crime gave him a false sense of power and manipulation that unfortunately led to his downfall. Obviously he is no Napoleon, or Chocolate Thunder member, for that matter. He is intelligent, but he thinks too much. He over analyzes non-existent consequences, and ensnares himself into a train of thought that a result of which is the materialization of those non-existent consequences. For this reason, he and I are much different, and this is why I cannot relate to him. He allowed himself to fall prey to what society has conditioned him into believing is "moral" and "just." A true Napoleon or Chocolate Thunder member would never succumb to those weaknesses. This is something that I am sure ErskinBrown, runi, and Jake Jacus can all attest to.
