I discovered Dostoyevsky through Japanese manga actually one of my favorite mangakas was Osamu tezuka whom drew and wrote 600 comics. One of them was a illustrated version of Crime and Punishment. When I first saw the title I grew curious and looked it up. Without even reading it fell in love with the synopsis yes the bloody synopsis I didn't even read the novel. I began making my characters similar to Raskolnikov in my writing. Then eventually I found it at a book store a notes from the underground that was first taste of actual Dostoyevsky and I loved it so much I shared it with others. Then eventually I found a movie based upon crime and punishment and that forced me to start reading and with that I managed to read a ebook version of crime and punishment then I read the idiot, the gambler and now I'm going to read the brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky is a literal journey.

@@tarvoc746 Raskolnikov in crime and punishment is basically a depiction of Nietzsche’s ubermensch theory. Rules are for you to break if you have a strong enough conviction and justification. I’m not saying they mention each other literally. Actually, I think nietzsche did mention Dostoyevsky and that he likes his writing.

[@tarvoc746]

@@cch312 Hmm, if Raskolnikov was an attempt at depicting the Übermensch, I think Dostoyewsky got Nietzsche wrong. The whole point of the Übermensch is that he is the man who has come to terms with the Ewige Wiederkunft and is able to affirm and even desire for his own life and actions to infinitely repeat themselves for all eternity. This clearly isn't the case with Raskolnikov.

[@cch312]

@@tarvoc746 Your understanding of the ubermensch is probably correct and deeper than how most perceive it. And because of that, many became Raskolnikov instead of actual ubermensch, they merely think breaking the rules for what they deem as the greater good qualifies them as ubermensch.
