Absolute peak literature. The suspense, the build up, the constant questioning of his moral engine. Every encounter he has had up until this point has served as a guide to his conscious, to show if he has what it takes to carry out this “crime”. He want’s to form an ideology that “crime” shouldn’t affect him, yet his own body won’t allow. The continuous hesitation in his actions show his human side.

Reading the letter Rodya’s mum wrote for him was an emotional roller coaster, you can feel the emotions through the writing. She cares for Rodya ever so deeply. Yet, that is her issue. She is being oblivious to the red flags shown by Dunya’s fiancee and passes them off as traits that will disappear, just so she can help her son. The son, that most likely, isn’t the same person she remembers all those years ago.

Marmeladov’s rant and life story has to be one of the best passages I’ve read in a while. He is a scumbag and yet he knows it in every ounce of his being, he despises his existence. He recognises his addiction but lacks the emotional capacity to process and reform himself. He knows what needs to be done but threw away everything his family had to satisfy his cravings.

Screw Sylvie

Really entertaining so far. You get tossed into a setting with no prior knowledge and get to learn with the main character as well. The tension created through uncertainty rather than action is a really great touch and trying to piece together information to create theories and see what piece fits into that puzzle is really exciting. Still set on the idea that earth is screwed and they were the last hope for humanity
