Luis question 1

Question 1

Raskolnikov has many different motives to kill the pawnbroker. But I will only talk about one. Im going to talk about Raskolnikov's theory about extraordinary and ordinary men.

He talks about how there are two types of men in the world extraordinary and ordinary. Ordinary men are just normal people that has to follow the law because they dont have the capacity to see what has to be done to be better. Then there is extraordinary men. Raskolnikov says that there are few extraordinary men in eache generation, and he says that this men should have the right to go above the law because they know what needs to be done to help civillization evolve.

This is one of Raskolnikov's motives because he thinks that he is an extraordinary man. Then he thinks that the old pawnbroker has to die and he decides to do it because according to his theory he has the right to do it becausw he is above the law.
