Is the meeting between Sonya Marmeladova and Rodion Raskolnikov accidental?
Composition for grade 10 on the topic: Is the meeting of Sonya Marmeladova and Rodion Raskolnikov in the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"?
Roman F.M. Dostoevsky is one of the most significant, at least in terms of the complexity of its perception, works in the writer's work. Indeed, it seriously raises the question of the accumulation of moral and poetic in the souls of heroes. The work is filled with a large number of characters, each of whom has his own thoughts, secrets, desires. Rodion Raskolnikov is poor and dissatisfied with the existing structure of society, to which he himself belongs. He believes that it is he who has the right to decide the fate of other people, and that he will not be rewarded for this, because he does everything for the good of society. Such thoughts and aspirations lead him directly to the murder of the old woman.
Sonya Marmeladova is the complete opposite of the guy. She denies cruelty and violence, tries to lead a correct lifestyle, reminding herself of the principles of following her morality. She believes in God and tries to bring people only light and good. The meaning of life for her is to provide gratuitous help to others. She decides on a terrible act to save her family from hunger. For her, the main thing is not what she does, but why it is being done. Perhaps the author, portraying Sonya, demonstrates exactly what qualities he, first of all, wants to see in people. And at this moment she meets with Raskolnikov, whose way of thinking contradicts her own. She hands him the cross, and Rodion realizes that Sonya will stay with him forever. Indeed, when Rodion is exiled to Siberia, as guilty of murder,she accompanies him to a distant link.
Both heroes are encountered in the novel for a reason. They both managed to go through the cleansing from their sins by changing. Perhaps, if a wounded person did not exist deep inside Rodion, and Sonya would not be able to see this particle in him, their fates would have turned out differently.
