“The stub of the candle had long been guttering in it’s crooked candlestick within that wretched room, shedding it’s dim light on the murderer and the prostitute who had so strangely encountered each other in the reading of the eternal book.”

i love that the crime and punishment fandom specific trope is to have the canon couples get married for convenience, move in together, and then swap partners behind closed doors

Raskolnikov: God would never let me be successful. He’d kill me before that would ever happen.

Sonya: I thought you didn’t believe in God…

Raskolnikov: I do for the bad things.

Sonya: when I woke up this morning, I meditated, did yoga, drank green tea, and went for a 30 minute walk

Rodya: when I woke up, I spent an hour just waking up

The story tells of the inner turmoil of Rodion Raskolnikov, a student in St. Petersburg who commits murder. His psychological and moral agitation is furthered and complicated by his family's arrival in St. Petersburg, his sister's engagement to a manipulative and unworthy man, and his encounters with the impoverished and troubled Marmeladov family.

Comeback, Yuko Oshima Akan Bermain Dalam Drama Panggung Bersama Haruma Miura

Mantan anggota idol group AKB48, Yuko Oshima dipastikan akan kembali ke dunia hiburan Jepang pada musim gugur tahun 2018, dan baru-baru ini ia juga dikabarkan bermain dalam sebuah drama panggung bertajuk CRIME and PUNISHMENT, bersama dengan aktor Haruma Miura. Cerita drama panggung tersebut diadaptasi dari novel klasik berjudul sama karya seorang sastrawan terkenal dari Rusia bernama Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Gadis cantik berusia 29 tahun tersebut akan memainkan peran sebagai salah satu karakter utama bernama Sofya Semyonovna Marmeladova. Semyonovna adalah seorang pelacur, sementara aktor Jepang, Haruma Miura akan memerankan tokoh protagonis, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov. Drama panggung CRIME and PUNISHMENT sendiri baru akan dipentaskan di Bunkamura Theatre Cocoon, Tokyo pada bulan Januari tahun depan.

Tahun lalu, Yuko Oshima memutuskan hiatus dari berbagai aktivitasnya sebagai seorang aktris di dunia hiburan Jepang selama kurang lebih satu tahun terhitung sejak bulan Agustus. Namun, pihak agensinya telah menegaskan bahwa Yuko tidak akan pensiun dari dunia hiburan, melainkan hanya beristirahat sejenak untuk mewujudkan impian pribadinya sebelum berusia 30 tahun.

Dalam sebuah acara bersama penggemar yang berlangsung di Sendai pada tanggal 2 Juli 2017 lalu, Yuko mengatakaningin bisa bahasa Inggris dengan baik dan memperluas keahliannya,  “Saya ingin menjalani hidup saya sebaik mungkin,” ujarnya. Kabar ini tentunya jadi berita bahagia bagi para penggemar Yuko yang telah menantikan kembalinya sang idola ke dunia hiburan, setelah terakhir kali ia bermain dalam serial drama Tokyo Tarareba Musume.

Pasca lulus dari idol group AKB48 pada tahun 2014, Yuko lebih aktif di dunia akting dan telah memerankan banyak film serta serial drama seperti, Shippu Rondo dan Sanada Juyushi di tahun 2016, Romansu (2015), serta Asa ga Kita (2015 sampai 2016). Wanita cantik kelahiran 17 Oktober 1988 ini juga pernah meraih penghargaan Hochi Film Awards yang dihelat pada bulan December 2014 sebagai Best Supporting Actress untuk perannya dalam film Pale Moon yang tayang pada tahun 2014 silam.

Hey do you ever think about how when Raskolnikov came to Sonya for the cross, she took both crosses out of the drawer, crossed herself, crossed him, and then hung the respective crosses around their necks?? As in, until he got there, she wasn’t wearing a cross either. It wasn’t just Sonya saving Rodya. They took up their suffering together. They saved each other.

Sonya: You always see the worst in people!

Raskolnikov: Yeah, because people are the worst.

every time i remember the chapter where raskolnikov crashes in sonya's apartment and makes her read the Bible i imagine it going like this:

rodya: where's the story of lazarus? >:( read it to me >:(

sonya: you've never read it?

rodya: only in school,,, now read >:(( *pouts for the entire duration of sonya's reading*

Sonya: Dear friends, mortality is something we all have to be reminded of in scary doses. Please call those you love today and tell them so.

Raskolnikov: I've called 4 people to remind them they are going to die. None of them appreciated it.

Dostoevsky’s ever-present yet unnamed narrator: Ah yes, the four love languages…

Narrator, pointing at Sonya: “My family never told me they were proud of me”

Narrator, pointing at Dunya: “I'm so fucking tired please god just let me rest for five minutes”

Narrator, pointing at Raskolnikov: “Pay attention to me”

Narrator, pointing at Razumikhin: and touch-starved.
