Quote Interpretation

In this worksheet, students interpret five significant quotes from Crime and Punishment. For each quote, learners explain its meaning, analyze its significance within the novel, and connect it to a broader theme or character development. This task encourages close reading and deep engagement with Dostoevsky’s language. Students practice analyzing philosophical ideas related to guilt, suffering, and moral conflict. Writing complete sentence responses strengthens explanatory writing skills and supports thematic interpretation.
