The Function of Dreams in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Novel “Crime and Punishment”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the function of dreams in Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”. Russia author Fyodor Dostoevsky’s (1821-1881) novel “Crime and Punishment” (1866) tells a story of a St. Petersburg student Raskolnikov whose slow realization that he will be punished for the murder of a pawnbroker slowly leads him to lose touch with reality. While Dostoevsky focuses on many themes within the novel such as family, charity and the Russian revolution aspects among others, Dostoevsky uses a great many dreams and daydreams throughout the book as a means of escapism for his characters from the oppressive city in which they live. In addition, rather than applying psychological and political theories to his text, Dostoevsky instead shows how the psychological turmoil of dreams can show the stability, or instability, of his characters in their futile attempts live within the real world. Often times as well, the dreams of the characters, especially those of Raskolnikov, are more vividly portrayed than the images from real life.

The Use of Dreams and Supernatural References in Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the references of dreams and the supernatural in Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”. Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain” both contain references to dream sequences to allow the characters to escape or mask the reality of life which surrounds them. In “The Master and Margarita”, Bulgakov uses dreams sequences and references to supernatural elements to allow the characters to speak about the underground world of the secret police. As characters are taken for questioning, the details of the abductions by “them” are made possible by the unreality and the distance provided by dreams. In addition, references to the supernatural such as “the Devil” also invoke memories of ancient taboos in society which are known to be punished. Mann’s central character Hans in “The Magic Mountain” has various dreams, daydreams and “vision quests” which allow the character to escape the routine and reality of his life. Already escaping somewhat to the sanatorium in the mountains, Hans has drug and fever induced dreams in which he gains more insight into the actions of man and offers him more freedom and confidence in his own decisions in life.
