What does blood symbolize in Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky?
In the novel by Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, there are many symbols. I know that one symbol is blood, but what exactly does blood represent?
Honestly? – Blood.
There’s this thing in schools where people have to try and find all the hidden clues in texts, when really there are none (or not that many). Writers do not sit down to tell you one thing hidden in another, they tell stories.
Just my opinion, but I believe (and in some cases know for certain) most writers will agree with me.
But to answer your question in a more basic sense, it would be a symbol of guilt, I suppose. The blood stains on various scraps of cloth are there like reminders of the deed, hidden away – like he is hiding away in his room – but really still there for all to see.
When he doesn’t see the blood on the floor later, he snaps. He is expecting it to be there, because he came there to confront his own guilt; to understand what he did. But it’s just an empty room.
So the blood wont just disappear, no matter if it is hidden away or scrubbed clean; the memory of it stays. In the same way, even after he turns himself in and is punished, he is still a murderer.
But really, blood is a pretty natural thing when you chop someone in the neck with an axe, and guilt is pretty common when you chop someone in the neck with an axe. None of these are surprising elements in a story about an axe murder, and I honestly don’t believe in symbols in texts. I am a writer, many friends of mine are writers (published, not hobby) (also not native english, so excuse me) and I don’t know any writers who put symbols in texts. Only in the sense that stories are not too different from dreams: some things might mean something, but they weren’t put there for the sake of having that meaning.
