1. I really liked the first topic you picked. I think this would be the easiest to write about because it is something that takes place throughout the whole novel. We constantly see Raskolnikov struggle with his guilt and how that really seems to get to him to the point where he is now mentally ill. When I began to read Crime and Punishment I had the same thoughts you did; I thought that the punishment would be more of a trial Raskolnikov went through or the way he'd deal with a life in prison.

4. I think this topic is very unique because it shows more of how Raskolnikov really thinks. Even though we are all aware that murder is wrong and it should not be done, Raskolnikov still comes up with ways to prove himself innocent and makes himself believe that his actions can be justified. I think it will be very easy to write about this topic because Raskolnikov does this on multiple occasions so you'll have more than enough examples to list in order to prove your point.
