(15) Why didn't Raskolnikov in "Crime and Punishment" become Rastignak in "Old Gorio"?
Our week-long stay in Paris is finally coming to an end.
The idea was to follow Dostoevsky's lead in describing my own impressions of the summer in "Impressions of Summer in Autumn," but I could not say much about Dostoevsky himself.
Dostoevsky himself rarely talked about the sights and art of Paris, but I would still like to write about what I thought of him at the end of the Paris section.
The main theme of this article is about Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Crime and Punishment, and Rastignak, the protagonist of Balzac's Old Gorio.
