C&P

A big part of intuition is a conscience. In Crime and Punishment Rodya's curiosity about the acquisition of power and the murder es he commit wear on his conscience. Rodya refuses to admit that he has done anything "wrong" and ignores the small part of him that suggests that he turn himself in. However, Sonya seems to act almost as an outsider conscience and with her help he does accept his societal punishment but really his biggest punishments (sickness and madness) come from within. Crime and Punishment suggests that the consequences for not listening to your intuition or your conscience leads to more problems in your life that take you farther off the path that is your destiny.
