idea: play adaptation of crime and punishment in real time.

the play is months long. actors sleep onstage. we watch rodya’s descent into madness as we ourselves descend into madness over weeks and weeks. the audience subsists on cabbage soup, bread, and vodka.

think about it: crime and punishment adaptations are lacking because the pacing doesn’t work for a traditional play or movie. but if we murder pacing and piss on its grave, we don’t have that problem.

if you wouldn’t watch this, then you aren’t a true fan, btw

ok so i finished my little stylized designs for crime and punishment characters!

top: raskolnikov, sonya, svidrigailov, porfiry, luzhin.

bottom: dunya, razumikhin, lizaveta, alyona, marmeladov, katerina.

i had a lot of fun with little design details, like katerina having a widow’s peak, or making the buttons on dunya’s dress match raskolnikov’s coat.

Raskolnikov: I simply hinted that an ‘extraordinary’ man has the right… that is not an official right, but an inner right to decide in his own conscience to overstep… certain obstacles, and only in case it is essential for the practical fulfillment of his idea (sometimes, perhaps, of benefit to the whole of humanity).

Razumikhin: caught in 4k

Raskolnikov: Wh-… what?

Razumikhin: i caught you being sus, bro

mini-essay on mary magdalene in crime and punishment haha

painting: "the penitent magdalene" by onorio marinari

i'm not sure if this was intentional, but in crime and punishment, dostoevsky seems to subvert the whorification of mary magdalene.

think about it--the first time we meet sonya, it seems obvious that she will be a mary magdalene figure, since she's a prostitute. we assume she will, like the common narrative we are told about mary, exhibit faithfulness to raskolnikov and bear witness to his resurrection. to a certain extent this holds true. but sonya does so much more than bear witness to a self-induced resurrection of raskolnikov.

in a way, this allegorical vision of sonya as mary magdalene and raskolnikov as jesus christ simply plays into raskolnikov's pre-existing delusions of grandeur. as a matter of fact, it is sonya's compassion and unwavering ability to see the good in raskolnikov that brings about his resurrection. she is not mary--she is the christ figure, and raskolnikov is lazarus. (side note: mary is often portrayed wearing scarlet, while sonya's iconic shawl is the opposite color, green.)

despite the fact that we see sonya as a version of mary magdalene, she is not the one who needs to repent. raskolnikov needs to repent. in fact, this idea of mary magdalene as a whore and repentant sinner comes almost wholly from a speech by pope gregory I circa 591 AD, in which he conflates mary magdalene with an unnamed "sinful woman" who anointed jesus' feet (and, interestingly, with mary of bethany, lazarus' sister). this obsession with female impurity and repentance is indicative of larger sexist trends in the christian church, and i think it's quite impactful that sonya is allowed to be a christ figure, and that raskolnikov's crimes of violence are portrayed as a more severe blight on his soul.

sonya reads raskolnikov the story of lazarus the first time he visits her apartment, and it is an intimate scene exploding with anxiety and pain and compassion. she is the one to save him, not through strength, nor even through purity, but simply through love.

tl;dr sonya semyonovna fucking rocks.

p.s. sorry if the lack of capitalization makes this kind of hard to read, i started with this gimmick and i've got to stick to it.

"despite everything, it's still you."

thinking about how well this quote applies to raskolnikov--although for him it might feel like less of a reassurance and more like cold water in the face. you are not extraordinary, no matter what you do.

the painting is "not to be reproduced" by rené magritte.
