About this Event

Raskolnikov is a former law student, and not much else. He's out of money and resentful of the elderly female pawnbroker he's sold his only valuables to. His desperation and inflated sense of self lead him to M**der the pawnbroker.

What follows is Dostoevsky's psychological portrait of Raskolnikov's guilt, paranoia and delusion.
