F.M. DOSTOEVSKY´S `CRIME AND PUNISHMENT`IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CRIME NOVEL AS A GENRE

Završni rad pod naslovom Zločin i kazna F. M. Dostojevskog u kontekstu razvoja kriminalističkog romana kao žanra bavi se proučavanjem razvoja kriminalističkog romana u svjetskoj i hrvatskoj književnosti gdje još uvijek nije ispravno vrednovan. Također se bavi teorijskim opisom kriminalističkog romana i trivijalnom književnošću, nastojeći pokazati koje su posebnosti kriminalističkog romana i zašto je jedan od najpopularnijih romana današnjice. Rad daje i kratki pregled ruskog realizma. Drugi dio rada prikazuje roman Zločin i kazna u kontekstu kriminalističkog romana. Prije svega, koje elemente kriminalističkog romana posjeduje te po kojim se elementima razlikuje. Zatim prikazuje Raskoljnikova kao ubojicu, njegove motive, krivnju, kaznu i novi život. Prikazuje i po čemu je osobit istražitelj Porfirije Petrovič te tko je imao najveći utjecaj na Raskoljnikova. Jedan od ciljeva rada je i odgovoriti, referirajući se na filozofe, na filozofska pitanja koja je roman otvorio. To su pitanja postojanja pravednog zločina, činjenice da je Raskoljnikov, iako je ubojica, zadobio brojne čitateljske simpatije te zašto ljudi vole čitati o ubojstvu.The final work, F. M. Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment in the context of development of the criminal novel as a genre, deals with the study of development of the criminal novel in the world literature, with short review on development in Croatian literature, where it still does not have deserved value.
