Abstract

The objective of my thesis is to present a systematic description and interpretation of the views Dostoevsky held on a number of moral issues that arise in connection with the crime and punishment of criminals. The list of these issues includes but is not limited to 1) the question of whether reason or emotions should be held responsible for the criminal action, and 2) the question of whether their consciousness of redemption of sins related to justification of punishment. The importance of spiritual and mental suffering for them rescue and liberate souls. While pursuing the two questions, I shall divide this thesis into four chapters: Chapter 1 Introduction It’s consists of: motivation and objectives of the study, the method and limitation of the study, and the scope and structure of the study. Chapter 2 Different crime patterns in Dostoevsky's novels Discussion of crimes committed by different characters will help to explain the motivation behind their evil passions. Chapter 3 Punishment and redemption in Dostoevsky's novels I will show that in the opinion of Dostoevsky, the punishment is not in the sentence, but in the confession, and is delivered through the criminal surrendering to his God. Only do the criminals have consciousness of redemption of sins can they purify themselves. Chapter 4 Conclusion It’s generalizes the studies of this thesis. This analysis will allow for a new understanding of moral opinions Dostoevsky held on problem of punishment of criminals.
