Could Dostoevsky have had a similar personality to Raskolnikov?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Authors have to be able to imagine and put themselves in other’s shoes. The period of time when Dostoevsky was writing that book there was a lot of political turmoil in Russia. He was probably around many people who would talk and theorize about the human condition. So I don’t necessarily think he had those propensities himself. But he sure did a wonderful job understanding and writing about Raskolnikov’s state of mind. I just finished reading that book about two months ago. What a fantastic read!
