social, political, and cultural implications of C&P

[jeepcj7304]

i need to write an English paper on this topic plus the symbolism used in C&P.  I have all the symbolism taken care of but i am having trouble coming up with the social, political, and cultural implications.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  On another note i never read D before this and am looking forward to reading the brothers next.  thanks again for any help with this.

Boy, I am sure glad someone on this group has "all the symbolism" in C&P "taken care of."  . I mean, I've read it four times now and I've only figured out 86.2% of it.

Just kidding...there are several posts on C&P in the forum, most in response to the ubiquitous HS or college research paper. I suggest you start there.

Well, as for social  and cultural implications...Perhaps,saying that a lot of people in the upper-calss society became atheists and that this movement was growng.You can use Svidrigaylov as an example.remember that Dostoevsky was a devoted Christian, so for him this  was a symbol of degradation.
