That's a powerful line, and it captures a deep theme that runs through Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. The idea that suffering is not just inevitable but also redemptive is central to the novel and to much of Dostoyevsky's philosophy.
In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov’s journey is all about grappling with guilt, pride, and the morality of his actions. His suffering—psychological, emotional, and eventually physical—is portrayed as a necessary path to redemption and moral clarity. Dostoyevsky seems to suggest that through true suffering, one can confront their inner darkness and ultimately be purified or atone for their sins.
It’s very much in line with the broader existential and Christian undertones in his work. He doesn't glorify suffering for its own sake, but he often frames it as a crucible through which the soul is forged.
Do you see this idea as relevant today—or more as a relic of Dostoyevsky’s time?
