Students’ attention will now be directed to examine the novel’s social setting, which is also fraught with division. Crime and Punishment is more than just a demonstration of the idea that crime does not pay; it is a vivid depiction of social injustice. For example, Dostoyevsky’s mid-nineteenth-century Russia offered women narrowly circumscribed roles, most often resulting in their dependence on men and/or a life of poverty. The negative effects of several other social divisions raise additional questions.
