The young Raskolnikov, in his misguided fervor, believed himself to be an extraordinary being, above the moral constraints of ordinary men. But he soon found that the human soul cannot easily escape the weight of guilt and conscience. It is alarming to see that, in this modern age, there are still ideologies that can blind individuals to the true essence of humanity, leading them to make choices devoid of genuine compassion and understanding.
