In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov's dream about the
|
|||
|
|
mare can be used as a vehicle to probe deep into his mentality to discover
|
|||
|
|
how he really feels inside. The dream suggests that Raskolnikov is a
|
|||
|
|
"split" man; after all, his name in Russian means "split". He has a cruel
|
|||
|
|
and thoughtless side as well as a caring, compassionate side to his
|
|||
|
|
personality. Through the dream and the symbols therein, a reader can cast
|
|||
|
|
Raskolnikov, as well as other characters from Crime And Punishment, into
|
|||
|
|
any of the various parts in the dream. Each part that a character takes on
|
|||
|
|
leads to a different conclusion about that character. Raskolnikov himself
|
|||
|
|
"fits" into the positions of Mikolka, the child, and the mare.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If Mikolka, the drunken owner of the mare, were to represent
|
|||
|
|
Raskolnikov, then the mare would most probably represent Alyona Ivanovna.
|
|||
|
|
The senseless beating of the mare by Mikolka is similar to the brutal
|
|||
|
|
attack on Alyona by Rodion. (It should be noted that both Alyona and the
|
|||
|
|
mare were female.) These heartless attacks foreshadow the crime that
|
|||
|
|
Raskolnikov is contemplating. Dostoevsky unveils Raskolnikov's cruel side
|
|||
|
|
during this dream, if it is to be interpreted in this way.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the same token, Raskolnikov's compassionate side could be
|
|||
|
|
represented by the little boy. The child, watching the beating, realizes
|
|||
|
|
the absurdity of it. He even rushes to Mikolka, ready to punish him for
|
|||
|
|
killing the mare. This illustrates Rodion's internal struggle while
|
|||
|
|
contemplating the murder of Alyona. His humane side, the child, tells him
|
|||
|
|
to live and let live. And his "extraordinary" side, according to his
|
|||
|
|
definition, tells him that he should eliminate Alyona altogether, for the
|
|||
|
|
good of man kind.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
On the other side of the coin, Raskolnikov could be represented by the
|
|||
|
|
mare itself. However, the burden which the mare must carry (the cart, the
|
|||
|
|
people, etc.) could represent two separate things, depending on if it is
|
|||
|
|
viewed in context before or after the actual murder. Before the murder,
|
|||
|
|
the burden could represent the moral question that is plaguing Rodion.
|
|||
|
|
Should he kill Alyona? Or should he leave her be? Because of the
|
|||
|
|
importance of this question to Raskolnikov, it weighs him down heavily at
|
|||
|
|
first. However, later on, he rashly decides to kill Alyona.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If looked upon after the murder, the load on the mare in the dream
|
|||
|
|
could represent the mental burden placed on Rodion. He had a burden of
|
|||
|
|
guilt on him, and he could not justify the murder according to his own
|
|||
|
|
theory. Therefore, he was tormented by the otherwise insignificant
|
|||
|
|
statements and actions of others in the novel. Even though Porfiry
|
|||
|
|
Petrovitch did not have many of the people purposely harassing Raskolnikov
|
|||
|
|
by mentioning various facets of the murder, it was as if those who were
|
|||
|
|
"beating" the truth out of him were pawns of Porfiry (or that of truth and
|
|||
|
|
the law in general), just as those beating the life out of the mare were
|
|||
|
|
pawns of Mikolka (or that of cruelty). By this reasoning, a parallel may
|
|||
|
|
also be drawn between the mare and Rodion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is not to say that the dream does not have other significances.
|
|||
|
|
It is possible that Mikolka represents Porfiry also. Mikolka beat the mare
|
|||
|
|
until it died; Porfiry beat Raskolnikov mentally until he confessed.
|
|||
|
|
There are also other interpretations that can be made.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Despite other possible interpretations, Raskolnikov may be represented
|
|||
|
|
by all three main characters in the dream: Mikolka, the child, and the
|
|||
|
|
mare. Each representation brings to mind a new side of Rodion Romanovitch
|
|||
|
|
that must be considered in order to understand him fully.
