When someone goes through a topsy-turvy life, they become trapped in the web of conflict between themselves and the outside world, and thus falter in distinguishing between the true and false decisions of life. These complications often lead to violence and crime. However, it is believed that most criminal brains differ in size from a normal person's brain, which results in their negative thinking. The study of the neurology of the criminal mind has suggested that psychopaths are capable of showing sympathy towards people that they are willing to show (Griffiths, 2013). In these two novels, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, the brains of criminals were negatively affected by various factors. In Crime and Punishment, the protagonist Raskolnikov, despite being a kind human being, commits a horrible crime. The guilt of committing this crime captures his brain, which ultimately leads him to confess to the crime; and then he is sent to Siberia for eight years of imprisonment. Perry, similar to Raskolnikov, stages a devastating crime and has to deal with a trauma of his mentality. He is captured by the FBI and given the death penalty. The key theme of poverty is illustrated by the fact that the main characters, despite initially being good people, commit a heinous act thinking that stealing can help them overcome their poverty. They symbolically visualize realistic and imaginative means of rescue after committing the crime, go through intense internal and external conflicts, and, in the end, receive the so-called just punishment for the crimes committed. The theme of poverty, whether more severe or moderate, prevails predominantly throughout the spectrum of bo...... middle of paper ...... basic resource capacity. These circumstances give rise to crime, suffering and, ultimately, punishment. World literature is full of these themes, concepts and symbols: these two novels, being part of the organic whole of world literature, represent the same themes, issues and images. Whether realistic or imaginary, the characters think about how to get out of their suffering. Such suffering, confessions and punishments echo in both novels. This theme or concept is also evident in today's society and justice system. Movers and shakers receive no punishment or receive less severe punishment than their crimes. The common man, most likely, gets harsher punishments than his crimes. This fact is truly prevalent throughout the world without exception of nation, race, color, culture or religion.
