I leapt into the train that sped my parents, sister, and I towards an unknown land: a yellow-colored country that appeared in a weathered atlas

Marriage is a major part of Crime and Punishment and knowing the cultural context of marriage explains Svidrigailov’s unrest. Svidrigailov was placed into a controversial marriage scenario. Russian culture in the 1860’s was extremely patriarchal, the males playing dominant roles in society. One such role was financial dominance and bringing the wife back home. However, the opposite is true for Svidrigailov. After being bought by Marfa Petrovna, Svidrigailov was bore “off into a the country like a treasure” (283). Opposite to tradition, Svidrigailov plays the submissive half of the marriage and is treated merely as a “treasure”. Moreover, Marfa, not Svidrigailov, dominates the economic dynamic of the relationship. This contrast

Life wasn’t easy but things got a lot worse after the industrial revolution. The transition to towns let factory owners take advantage of children who had no protection from the government at that time. They were cheap and easy to control, working up to sixteen-hour days for slave wages. In England, where the industrial started, children only started to get basic protection, which included working conditions, length of workdays, and a minimum age for working, in 1884. In Russia however, society was still based on agriculture and the feudal system for a large part of the 19th century. The peasants or serfs, who made up a huge majority of the population, over 80%, would work the land given to the Nobles by the Czar. They would be property of their Baron of whom they were dependant on for shelter, food and justice. They would only gain their legal recognition after the liberation of 1861 and be able to work and own property. Since the Barons already owned most of the land they migrated towards towns and cities. Being so behind in terms of society we can figure that children’s right would only come along a lot later. This explains how Vanka could end up in such a hopeless and horrible situation; there is no one to protect orphans like
