Literary Сriticism

Authors

  • Belyaeva Irina Doctor of Philology, Professor

Annotation

The article draws parallels between Goethe’s “Faust” and Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”, which in the scientific tradition is not sufficiently addressed. Raskolnikov is seen as the first Russian Faust, opening a gallery of heroes of Dostoevsky-novelist, going back to the Faustian type. There are investigated similar plot and composite elements, as well as a community of artistic and philosophical decisions of two writers.
