Notes
Schism: a division or separation between parties due to differing beliefs. It may also refer to discord.
In Russian, one word for schism is раскол, romanized to raskol in English. Essentially, Raskolnikov's name alludes to his divided character and thoughts.
A playlist of fairly modern songs for Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov.
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth."
