Thoughts On Raskolnikov
Просмотров 823 месяца назад
I share a few thoughts about the meaning of the Rodya Raskolnikov's name, the main character in Crime and Punishment. Particularly, I go into a very brief examination of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1600s and how a schism that happened may have helped Dostoevsky choose the name of his character.

Thanks for laying out some of these categories and some of how to understand how they relate to each other. I feel like I’ve gained some tools in order to better appreciate music and the stories it tells.
Thanks Ben for your insightful thoughts. "Take tony soprano and put him in middle earth." I want to see that!
Thank you, Reid! That would make for some interesting scenes.
RUclips just recommended me your vid. I'm not an entrenched or defined creation-story-camp member, but just your first 2 minutes, and few subs and views and your BOOKSHELF (I can see) tell me this is a good vid. Edit for specifics: within the two minutes, I see all 3 unabridged GA.
Thank you!
Thank you Ben! I enjoyed hearing the insights you gleaned from your journey in classical music.
Nice. Unique perspective and interesting connection. This might be my sign to re-read Crime and Punishment!
Thanks man, I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you do read it.
