Foster explains to us that sometimes in stories there are also Christ figures. Foster says “The parallel deepens our sense of the characters sacrifice”. In the story I definitely see Sonia as the Christ figure. Although Sonia is a prostitute she still remains very religious. I would consider her “wounds” her prostitution. She is prostitute only so that she can fend for her family financially, so in this way I find her very self sacrificing.

Before Raskolnikov goes to the police station to turn himself in Sonia gives him a cross. This cross represents redemption. Giving him her cross shows that she is giving something of herself to bring back his humanity and in a sense renew him. Sonia is offering redemption, hope, or miracle to his situation. She is offering him

Of course Connie does not go with them and stays home alone instead of being around people that was not on her level.

She has some unexpected visitors show up at her home. Connie’s rebellious ways and ugly behavior towards her family seems to have invited the devil to her home. ““Half-real” succinctly describes the satyr, half-man and half- beast, and the music that evokes intense feelings of pleasure in Connie becomes in his hands a share and sortilege” (Easterly, 1990 p.10). For the first time Connie finally shows her reacts to the situation before as a young girl scared and crying out for help.

Not only is Faustus a greedy man, but also weak. He craves power and knowledge to cover up what he lacks. Before his interaction with the devil, Faustus dabbles with necromancy in an attempt to bring happiness to his life. He is clearly unable to make himself content and the promise of the devil to do so is enticing. Faustus was not hard to sway from God and devout Christian values. This is what makes it especially hard for Faustus to repent. He is unable to make up his mind when considering the benefits of each. His weakness lies in his search for power, so he chooses whatever seems to offer the knowledge he
