The Axe

The symbol that I used in this paragraph is "the axe". In Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, we can read that there is a murder that happens when Raskolnikov kills the pawnbroker and Lizaveta. We do not know what's going on on Raskolnikov's mind but the things that he does are strange. He uses the blunt side murder the old woman and the sharp edge to kill Lizaveta. We don't know why he chose to kill them with an axe and not something different. Raskolnikov is a weird guy and I think his point of view about "the axe" is different. I think "the axe" symbolizes strength, power, and something bigger. There are a lot of other symbols in the novel but I think one of the most favorite symbols is "the axe". We know how Raskolnikov forgets about stuff, and i think it symbolizes the two halves of Raskolnikov's life.
