tragedy heroine
Destiny Sony Marmeladova similar in many respects to the position of Rodion.They play the same role in society.Rodion Romanovich lives in the attic in a miserable little room.As the author sees this room: a small cell size, about 6 steps, it has a poor appearance.Tall people feel uncomfortable in a room.Raskolnikov is so poor, then what is impossible, but to the surprise of the reader feels he is good, his spirits fell.The same poverty forced Sonia to go to the street to earn money.She is unhappy.Her fate is cruel to her.But the morale of the heroine is not broken.In contrast, the seemingly inhumane conditions Marmeladova Sonia is the only decent man out.She chooses the path of religion and sacrifice.The author shows us the character as a man is able to penetrate another's pain and suffering, while being unhappy.She can not only understand the other, but also to direct the right way, to forgive, to accept someone else's suffering.So, we see the heroine shows pity for Katerina Ivanovna, calls her a "fair, kid," miserable.Sonya save her children, then regrets his dying father.This, like the rest of the scene, and inspire sympathy and respect for the girl.And it is not surprising then that his anguish Rodion share it with Sophia.

Real life
Despite all this, Rodion Romanovich periodically returns to earth and notices everything that happens in the real world.On one of those days, he witnesses how a drunken officer Seeds Marmeladova knocks horse.During his last words of the author first describes Sofya Semyonovna.Sonya was a small increase, it was about eighteen.She was thin, but pretty, blonde, with attractive blue eyes.In place of the accident comes to Sonia.His father died on her lap.She sends her younger sister to find out where he lives Raskolnikov to return him the money he gave to his father's funeral.After a while Sophia goes to Rodion Romanovich to be invited to the wake.So she shows him her gratitude.
Funeral father
The event occurs on the basis of a scandal that Sonia accused of stealing.All was solved in a peaceful way, but Katerina Ivanovna with children are evicted from the apartment.Now, all doomed to death.Raskolnikov is trying to learn from Sofia, whether it will, it could kill Luzhin, a man who unjustly slandered her by saying that she was a thief.This question Sophia gave a philosophical answer.Rodion Romanovich Sonia finds something familiar, perhaps, is that they both rejected.He's trying to see in her understanding, because his theory is wrong.Rodion now ready to self-destruct, and Sonja - "Daughter, that the evil stepmother and consumptive, children and young stranger betrayed."Sofya Semyonovna relies on a moral reference point that is important to her and clear - it is wisdom, which is described in the Bible as a cleansing suffering.Raskolnikov, of course, shared with Marmeladova story about his actions, listening to him, she did not turn away from him.It is true Sony Marmeladova - in the manifestation of the feelings of pity, sympathy Rodion.The heroine and urged him to repent for what he did, based on the parable, who studied in the Bible about the resurrection of Lazarus.Sonia agrees that to share with Rodion Romanovich heavy everyday life of hard labor.So not only show mercy Sony Marmeladova.It does this in order to be cleansed, because it believes that violates the biblical commandments.
What unites with Sophia Rodion
What can be described Marmeladov and Raskolnikov at once?For example, convicts who are serving time in the same cell with Rodion Romanovich, love Sonya, who regularly visits him but contempt for him.Raskolnikov wanted to kill him and make fun of him constantly, not royal case 'ax under his shirt to wear. "Sofya Semyonovna since childhood has its own ideas about people and lifelong adhere to them.She never looks down on people, I have respect for them and regret.
conclusion I would like to conclude on the basis of mutual relationships of the main characters of the novel.What is the truth had Sony Marmeladova?If the path of Rodion Romanovich not appear Sofya Semyonovna with their life values and ideals, his career would end very soon in excruciating agony of self-destruction.That is true Sony Marmeladova.Through such ties in the middle of the novel, the author has the ability to logically complete the images of the main characters.Two different views and two analyzes of the same situation makes the credibility of the novel.True Sony Marmeladova opposed to the theory of Rodion and his worldview.The famous Russian writer was able to give life to the main characters and successfully solve all the worst thing that happened in their lives.This puts perfection novel "Crime and Punishment" next to the greatest works of which are in the list of world literature.Each student, each student must read this novel.
