during 1865. He handled them in his novel with sympathy as
well as understanding.

The Problems of Greed For Money
We find that the novel throws night on the
problems of greed for money. Alena Ivonovna , Luzhin,
Svidrigaylv were the people who wanted to get moneyquickly. The business of money lending was the source of
quick money. At that time, the capital city of Petersburg was
going through a financial crisis. Alena Ivanovna, the pawn-
broker exploits her customers and collects a lot of money
which remains useless. Luzhin and Svidrigoylov also try to
purchase beauty with the help of their money. In this way, a
new class of exploiters has risen in society.

The Life of Petersburg
The life shown in the city of st. Petersburg is
rotten. It is full of poverty, drunkness, prostitution, murder
and suicide. Raskolnikov and Swiderigailov suffer from`alienation and psychological disorder. Raskolnikov becomes
confused in thoughts and over excited in mind . He suffers
from double personality. Svidrigaylov is tired of sexual
passion though he runs after many women. Finally, he finds
himself lonely and dissatisfied with life. There is no person
who loves him sincerely. Therefore he commits suicide.
Selfishness, Cruelty, Coruption, madness etc. have
become the part and parcel of Russian society. The city it self
is full of dirty atmosphere. Raskolnikov complains that
instead of gardens and fountains, there were dirt and

stench and all sorts of filth in the city. Everything is shabby
and sordid. The room and streets are suffocating. The strench
(bad smell) from a number of saloons, the wandering
drunkards add to the disgusting and melancholy atmosphereof the big city.
