Acting on this theory, he murders an elderly pawnbroker, but the psychological consequences quickly overwhelm him. As suspicion closes around him, Raskolnikov struggles with guilt, pride, fear and his increasingly desperate attempts to justify his actions. His relationship with the compassionate Sonia becomes central to his moral transformation. The novel is a profound exploration of conscience, punishment, redemption and the limits of intellectual theories when confronted with human suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216624861523,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421243588947,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/crime-and-punishment-2016-folio-society-2288","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
