Enredo

Parte 1

Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, um ex-estudante de direito, vive em condições de extrema-pobreza em um pequeno quarto alugado em São Petersburgo. Isolado e antissocial, após abandonar todas as tentativas de suntentar a si próprio, passa a premeditar obsessivamente o assassinato e roubo de uma velha senhora penhorista. Tendo esse plano em mente, visitou seu apartamento a pretexto de penhorar um relógio, contudo não foi capaz de pô-lo em prática. Mais tarde, em uma taverna, ele conhece Semyon Zakharovich Marmeladov, um dipsomaníaco que recentemente dilapidou o pequeno patrimônio de sua família. Marmeladov contou-lhe sobre sua filha adolescente, Sônia, que se tornou prostituta em razão da necessidade de prover a família. No dia seguinte, Raskolhnikov recebe uma carta de sua mãe, em que ela descreve o conflito de sua irmã Dúnia, que esteve trabalhando como governanta, com o seu patrão mal-intencionado, Svidrigailov. Para fugir de sua posição vulnerável, e com esperança de ajudar seu irmão, Dúnia escolheu desposar um rico pretendente, Luzhin, o qual elas estariam indo se encontrar em Petersburgo. Detalhes na carta sugerem que Luzhin é um aproveitador vaidoso que pretende se favorecer com a situação de Dúnia. Raskolhnikov enfureceu-se com o sacrifício da irmã, sentindo que se tratava da mesma humilhação que Sônia Marmeladova se sentiu obrigada a aceitar. Dolorosamente consciente de sua própria pobreza e impotência, voltou a direcionar seus pensamentos para aquele plano criminoso. Uma série de eventos ulteriores parecem conspirar para incentivá-lo a cometer esse assassinato.

Em um estado de extrema tensão nervosa, Raskolhnikov furta um machado e se encaminha novamente para o apartamento da velha senhora, da qual obtém permissão para entrar após fingir que leva algo para penhorar; em seguida, ele a golpeia violentamente com o machado, matando-a. Ele também mata sua meia-irmã, Lizaveta, que o surpreende na cena do crime. Perturbado pelo que fizera, ele rouba somente alguns itens de pouco valor e uma pequena bolsa, deixando a maior parte da fortuna da penhorista intacta. Por pura boa sorte, ele consegue fugir do prédio e retorna ao seu quarto incógnito.

Parte 2

Em um estado febril e semi-delirante, Raskolhnikov esconde os itens roubados e adormece exausto. Na manhã seguinte, foi intimado a comparecer na delegacia de polícia, o que lhe causou grande exasperação, no entanto, tratava-se de uma queixa prestada pela proprietária sobre dívidas da locação. Quando os policiais do escritório passaram a conversar sobre o assassinato, Raskolhnikov desmaiou; após recuperar os sentidos, pôde ver que suscitou grande suspeição. Receando uma investigação a seu respeito, escondeu os itens roubados em um jardim vazio, debaixo de um bloco de construção, percebendo que sequer havia examinado quanto dinheiro havia na bolsa. Sem razão aparente, visitou seu antigo amigo de universidade, Razumikhin, que constatou que Raskolhnikov aparentava estar muito doente. Finalmente, ao retornar ao seu quarto, sucumbiu a um delírio prolongado.

Alguns dias depois, ao despertar, descobre que Razumikhin esteve cuidando dele. Ainda febril, Raskolhnikov escuta a uma conversa entre seu amigo e um médico sobre o andamento da investigação dos assassinatos: um camponês chamado Mikolka, que esteve trabalhando em um quarto vizinho no momento, foi detido, e os clientes da velha senhora estão prestando depoimento. Eles foram interrompidos pela chegada de Luzhin, o noivo de Dúnia, que pretendia se apresentar, mas Raskolhnikov o insultou e o expulsou deliberadamente. Colérico, ordenou que os outros também deixassem o quarto, e saiu sozinho. À procura de notícias sobre os assassinatos, parece querer chamar atenção para sua própria parte. Encontra o policial Zamyotov, que lhe foi apresentado quando desmaiou na delegacia, e zomba das suspeições

He encounters the police official Zamyotov, who was present when he fainted in the bureau, and openly mocks the young man's unspoken suspicions.

He returns to the scene of the crime and re-lives the sensations he experienced at the time. He angers the workmen and caretakers by asking casual questions about the murder, even suggesting that they accompany him to the police station to discuss it.

As he contemplates whether or not to confess, he sees Marmeladov, who has been struck mortally by a carriage.

He rushes to help and succeeds in conveying the stricken man back to his family's apartment. 

Calling out for Sonya to forgive him, Marmeladov dies in his daughter's arms. Raskolnikov gives his last twenty five roubles (from money sent to him by his mother) to Marmeladov's consumptive widow, Katerina Ivanovna, saying it is the repayment of a debt to his friend.

Feeling renewed, Raskolnikov calls on Razumikhin, and they go back together to Raskolnikov's building. Upon entering his room Raskolnikov is deeply shocked to see his mother and sister sitting on the sofa. They have just arrived in Petersburg and are ecstatic to see him, but Raskolnikov is unable to speak, and collapses in a faint.

Part 3

Razumikhin tends to Raskolnikov, and manages to convince the distressed mother and sister to return to their apartment. He goes with them, despite being drunk and rather overwhelmed by Dunya's beauty. When they return the next morning Raskolnikov has improved physically, but it becomes apparent that he is still mentally distracted and merely forcing himself to endure the meeting. He demands that Dunya break with Luzhin, but Dunya fiercely defends her motives for the marriage. Mrs Raskolnikov has received a note from Luzhin demanding that her son not be present at any future meetings between them. He also informs her that he witnessed her son give the 25 rubles to "an unmarried woman of immoral behavior" (Sonya). Dunya has decided that a meeting, at which both Luzhin and her brother are present, must take place, and Raskolnikov agrees to attend that evening along with Razumikhin. To Raskolnikov's surprise, Sonya suddenly appears at his door. Timidly, she explains that he left his address with them last night, and that she has come to invite him to attend her father's funeral. As she leaves, Raskolnikov asks for her address and tells her that he will visit her soon.

At Raskolnikov's behest, Razumikhin takes him to see the detective Porfiry Petrovich, who is investigating the murders. Raskolnikov immediately senses that Porfiry knows that he is the murderer. Porfiry, who has just been discussing the case with Zamyotov, adopts an ironic tone during the conversation. He expresses extreme curiosity about an article that Raskolnikov wrote some months ago called 'On Crime', in which he suggests that certain rare individuals—the benefactors and geniuses of mankind—have a right to 'step across' legal or moral boundaries if those boundaries are an obstruction to the success of their idea. Raskolnikov defends himself skillfully, but he is alarmed and angered by Porfiry's insinuating tone. An appointment is made for an interview the following morning at the police bureau.

Leaving Razumikhin with his mother and sister, Raskolnikov returns to his own building. He is surprised to find an old artisan, whom he doesn't know, making inquiries about him. Raskolnikov tries to find out what he wants, but the artisan says only one word – "murderer", and walks off. Petrified, Raskolnikov returns to his room and falls into thought and then sleep. He wakes to find another complete stranger present, this time a man of aristocratic appearance. The man politely introduces himself as Arkady Ivanovich Svidrigailov.

Part 4

Svidrigailov indulges in an amiable but disjointed monologue, punctuated by Raskolnikov's terse interjections. He claims to no longer have any romantic interest in Dunya, but wants to stop her from marrying Luzhin, and offer her ten thousand roubles. Raskolnikov refuses the money on her behalf and refuses to facilitate a meeting. Svidrigailov also mentions that his wife, who defended Dunya at the time of the unpleasantness but died shortly afterwards, has left her 3000 rubles in her will.

The meeting with Luzhin that evening begins with talk of Svidrigailov—his depraved character, his presence in Petersburg, the unexpected death of his wife and the 3000 rubles left to Dunya. Luzhin takes offence when Dunya insists on resolving the issue with her brother, and when Raskolnikov draws attention to the slander in his letter, Luzhin becomes reckless, exposing his true character. Dunya tells him to leave and never come back. Now free and with significant capital, they excitedly begin to discuss plans for the future, but Raskolnikov suddenly gets up and leaves, telling them, to their great consternation, that it might be the last time he sees them. He instructs the baffled Razumikhin to remain and always care for them.

Raskolnikov proceeds to Sonya's place. She is gratified that he is visiting her, but also frightened of his strange manner. He asks a series of merciless questions about her terrible situation and that of Katerina Ivanovna and the children. Raskolnikov begins to realize that Sonya is sustained only by her faith in God. She reveals that she was a friend of the murdered Lizaveta. In fact, Lizaveta gave her a cross and a copy of the Gospels. She passionately reads to him the story of the raising of Lazarus from the Gospel of John. His fascination with her, which had begun at the time when her father spoke of her, increases and he decides that they must face the future together. As he leaves he tells her that he will come back tomorrow and tell her who killed her friend Lizaveta.

When Raskolnikov presents himself for his interview, Porfiry resumes and intensifies his insinuating, provocative, ironic chatter, without ever making a direct accusation. With Raskolnikov's anger reaching fever pitch, Porfiry hints that he has a “little surprise” for him behind the partition in his office, but at that moment there is a commotion outside the door and a young man (Mikolka the painter) bursts in, followed by some policemen. To both Porfiry and Raskolnikov's astonishment, Mikolka proceeds to loudly confess to the murders. Porfiry doesn't believe the confession, but he is forced to let Raskolnikov go. Back at his room Raskolnikov is horrified when the old artisan suddenly appears at his door. But the man bows and asks for forgiveness: he had been Porfiry's “little surprise”, and had heard Mikolka confess. He had been one of those present when Raskolnikov returned to the scene of the murders, and had reported his behavior to Porfiry.

Part 5

Raskolhnikov compareceu à reunião após o funeral de Marmeládov no apartamento de Katerina Ivanovna. A atmosfera se deteriorou conforme os convidados se embriagavam, e Katerina Ivanovna, ensandecida, começou a agredir verbalmente sua senhoria. Com aquela situação caótica, todos se surpreenderam pela aparição súbita e solene de Luzhin, que anunciou que uma nota de 100 rublos desaparecera de seu apartamento no preciso momento em que ele foi visitado por Sônia, a quem ele convidara para fazer uma pequena doação. Assustada, Sônia nega ter roubado o dinheiro, mas Luzhin persiste em sua acusação e exige que alguém a reviste. Ultrajada, Katerina Ivanovna insultou Luzhin e examina Sônia para provar sua inocência, contudo, uma nota de 100 rublos caiu de um de seus bolsos. O caos no quarto se voltou contra Sônia, que foi castigada por Luzhin, e a senhora expulsa a família. No entanto, o colega de quarto de Luzhin, Lebezyatnikov

the mood in the room turns against Sonya, Luzhin chastises her, and the landlady orders the family out. But Luzhin's roommate Lebezyatnikov angrily asserts that he saw Luzhin surreptitiously slip the money into Sonya's pocket as she left, although he had thought at the time that it was a noble act of anonymous charity. Raskolnikov backs Lebezyatnikov by confidently identifying Luzhin's motive: a desire to avenge himself on Raskolnikov by defaming Sonya, in hopes of causing a rift with his family. Luzhin is discredited, but Sonya is traumatized, and she runs out of the apartment. Raskolnikov follows her.

Back at her room, Raskolnikov draws Sonya's attention to the ease with which Luzhin could have ruined her, and consequently the children as well. But it is only a prelude to his confession that he is the murderer of the old woman and Lizaveta. Painfully, he tries to explain his abstract motives for the crime to the uncomprehending Sonya. She is horrified, not just at the crime, but at his own self-torture, and tells him that he must hand himself in to the police. Lebezyatnikov appears and tells them that the landlady has kicked Katerina Ivanovna out of the apartment and that she has gone mad. They find Katerina Ivanovna surrounded by people in the street, completely insane, trying to force the terrified children to perform for money, and near death from her illness. They manage to get her back to Sonya's room, where, distraught and raving, she dies. To Raskolnikov's surprise, Svidrigailov suddenly appears and informs him that he will be using the ten thousand rubles intended for Dunya to make the funeral arrangements and to place the children in good orphanages. When Raskolnikov asks him what his motives are, he laughingly replies with direct quotations of Raskolnikov's own words, spoken when he was trying to explain his justifications for the murder to Sonya. Svidrigailov has been residing next door to Sonya, and overheard every word of the murder confession.

Part 6

Razumikhin tells Raskolnikov that Dunya has become troubled and distant after receiving a letter from someone. He also mentions, to Raskolnikov's astonishment, that Porfiry no longer suspects him of the murders. As Raskolnikov is about to set off in search of Svidrigailov, Porfiry himself appears and politely requests a brief chat. He sincerely apologises for his previous behavior and seeks to explain the reasons behind it. Strangely, Raskolnikov begins to feel alarmed at the thought that Porfiry might think he is innocent. But Porfiry's changed attitude is motivated by genuine respect for Raskolnikov, not by any thought of his innocence, and he concludes by expressing his absolute certainty that Raskolnikov is indeed the murderer. He claims that he will be arresting him soon, but urges him to confess to make it easier on himself. Raskolnikov chooses to continue the struggle.

Raskolnikov finds Svidrigailov at an inn and warns him against approaching Dunya. Svidrigailov, who has in fact arranged to meet Dunya, threatens to go to the police, but Raskolnikov is unconcerned and follows when he leaves. When Raskolnikov finally turns home, Dunya, who has been watching them, approaches Svidrigailov and demands to know what he meant in his letter about her brother's “secret”. She reluctantly accompanies him to his rooms, where he reveals what he overheard and attempts to use it to make her yield to his desire. Dunya, however, has a gun and she fires at him, narrowly missing: Svidrigailov gently encourages her to reload and try again. Eventually she throws the gun aside, but Svidrigailov, crushed by her hatred for him, tells her to leave. Later that evening he goes to Sonya to discuss the arrangements for Katerina Ivanovna's children. He gives her 3000 rubles, telling her she will need it if she wishes to follow Raskolnikov to Siberia. He spends the night in a miserable hotel and the following morning commits suicide in a public place.

Raskolnikov says a painful goodbye to his mother, without telling her the truth. Dunya is waiting for him at his room, and he tells her that he will be going to the police to confess to the murders. He stops at Sonya's place on the way and she gives him a crucifix. At the bureau he learns of Svidrigailov's suicide, and almost changes his mind, even leaving the building. But he sees Sonya, who has followed him, looking at him in despair, and he returns to make a full and frank confession of the murders.

Epilogue

Due to the fullness of his confession at a time when another man had already confessed Raskolnikov is sentenced to only eight years of penal servitude. Dunya and Razumikhin marry and plan to move to Siberia, but Raskolnikov's mother falls ill and dies. Sonya follows Raskolnikov to Siberia, but he is initially hostile towards her as he is still struggling to acknowledge moral culpability for his crime, feeling himself to be guilty only of weakness. It is only after some time in prison that his redemption and moral regeneration begin under Sonya's loving influence.
