Literary Connections

I just made te connection of Hannah Arendt to Crime and Punishment. Arendt claimed that "the trouble is that if the mind is unable to bring peace and induce reconciliation, it finds itself immediately engages in its own kind of warfare" (Between Past and Future).

This is much like the state of Raskolnikov. He has gotten himself physically and mentally sick with the guilt of the murders he committed. 

Just a thought.
