Fyodor and Psyche

Psychology is the study of the human mind and its functions. Fyodor Dostoyevsky analyzed human psychology in the political environment of his home country of Russia. His touch on the exploration of the human psyche extends to Raskolnikov in C&P. Raskolnikov seems to have 2 different psyches or states of mind. One is kind and compassionate(+psyche). The other is selfish, loathing, and inglorious of the human character(-psyche).
I believe there is a connection between his father's work as a doctor for the poor and his childhood, and the compassion shown in Raskolnikov's +psyche. He was caring and loved to talk to the patients at the hospital. The hospital was located near a prison cemetery and an orphanage. This would have had a great effect for the kindness of the +psyche towards poor people, children, and people who need help.
There would also have been quite an effect on Dostoyevseky by the sadness and depressedness of the place where he grew up. There were poor people, people of filth, orphans, children/infants given away because people didn't want them, and of course the cemetery. What cemetery is not gloomy? In addition to this was all the crap that Dostoyevskey went through in his life. He had epilepsy, was sentenced death, then exiled, etc... All these must have had an effect on him. Making him think that human's, basically sucked. They were loathsome. This developed in C&P as Raskolnikov's -psyche.
This is the effect that Dostoyevsky's life had on the novel.

Of course everyone knows that there was a murder in C&P.
The question comes up at this time. Is it a crime if it is done for good?
Raskolnikov murders the old lady and her sister, but since he did there was a weight of lousy filth removed from the world. He even symbolically beat her out of her life. He quickly ends her sister's (who was a nice and caring) life quickly and does not think of it as anymore but an accident.
By removing flth from society isn't he helping society? It may be a crime but he just saved the economical lives of so many people as well. (This refers to the old lady being stingy with money,bad deals, and wasting money on things that were useless.)
One can compare this to a lie. People lie all the time. Lying is considered bad by society. However if one lies for the good of another or to help someone out then its not bad at all. For example, if some one lies to spare someones feelings or to make them feel better where telling the truth would have caused more harm, then lying is good.
Just as that if crime were done for good would it still be crime? I would have to say yes, it is still a crime, the only difference is the purpose behind the crime.
