–"Am I a trembling creature or do I have the right?" This question was asked by the hero of the book "Crime and Punishment" written by the world famous writer F.M. Dostoevsky, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov. And it's... funny. Isn't this question meaningless? After all, he is the hero of the book, which already makes him a doll without rights on Dostoevsky's strings. It always amuses me that in works where the main message is "freedom", the characters believe that they are free to do what they want, only to obey the writer over and over again. What the freedom is for people like them... like me? We, too, are just part of someone's imagination, forever playing in this ugly play. Well, I don't know about Rodion, but I am fully aware of myself and the situation around me, although I am only a text in her book. So why should I feel the suffering written by someone else? Well, that all is okay. Take my hand. It's time to get up and move forward. To where this ephemeral "freedom" is located.
