Part A: The life of Dostoevsky seems to connect with the setting of his book, Crime and Punishment. He feels bonded with the lives of patients at his father's hospital, which strives his compassion in the society of the poor, criminals, infants, and mental people. This ties to the way he wrote his book that makes the main character as poor, makes him a criminal, quite lunatic to me, and abandoned children like that of the drunken man. Wikipedia also talks about his attendance at the Military Engineering Institute, which refers back to the mentioning of services and duties in the story.
Part B: In response to the question,"Is it a crime if someone other than yourself
benefits?", brings up another question in mind. HOW THE HECK DOES IT BENEFIT YOU?! You're just taking a life of someone who helped you by accepting that dang-o watch. The pawnbroker, Alyonda Ivanovna, and also her half-sister, Lizaveta, was murdered for what? OHHH..Because she only gave him a few copecks off. Like that's a good reason why he killed her. Back to being serious, I see no point in killing both the sisters when he doesn't get anything from it. Yes, it's true that he does steal the goods, but only reserved for the poor. He feels as if she's cheating them in their goods, but that still is committing a crime. It's always a crime if you try to take someone's else belonging even without murder. Your reason is your reason, and if you don't own it then don't touch it. We all have laws in which we live in and we must abide by those laws.
