	Dostoyevsky vs. Dworkin
		Dostoyevsky's narrator draws attention to his literary judgments, forcing the reader to recognize that the novel is not reality, but a narrative, consciously constructed by an author with an agenda.
		Dostoyevski thus sees law, although capable of error, as not barren of the individuated grace of literature, for the law itself is an artistic creation, composed not solely by legal judgment but by literary judgment as well.
		Dostoyevsky presents us with a new way to view the connections between law and literature--not literature as an ethical commentary about law, not law as a literary text, but law and literature as linked by the common activity of judging, as essential components of the world they judge.

		When Dostoyevsky started work on Crime and Punishment in the summer of 1865 he was depressed and in serious financial straits.
		He encourages us to identify with Roskolnikov: the painstaking descriptions of the student's cramped, dingy quarters; the overpowering sights and sounds of a stifling afternoon on the streets of St. Petersburg; the excruciating tension of Porfiry's interrogation-all serve to place the reader at the heart of the action: Roskolnikov's fevered, tormented mind.
		Whatever Dostoyevsky's purpose-political, moral, psychological, or religious (and most likely he meant to touch on each of these themes)-one thing is certain.
