Crime and Punishment question

I think what Dostoyevsky might have been proposing is that the social constructs of law in societies which were becoming less dependent on genealogy in order to determine social status, less feudal, less regal, could lead to insanity in certain cases without education, and lines would have to be blurred between all classes of social deviants in a world in which people were born equally. Republics once again started to replace Monarchies in the world after centuries of darkness, and criminals, the insane, and addicts would necesssarily be rolled into one light when judged by the establishment. Without inheritence, and without enlightenment, crime would lead to insanity simply from the uncertainty of social status within the establishment. Societies were becoming free and so all of humanity must stand in the spotlight; a free press was making its way around the world at the time, it was driving a need for free societies, and Dostoyevsky was right in the middle of it. Papertrails had already started following us all, and so we began constructing social deviance, rather than being born into it.

The hero be exiled to Siberia for penitence of the crime committed that his conscience could be 'enlightenment'.
