He suddenly recalled Sonia's words, "Go to the crossroads, bow down to the people, kiss the earth, for you have sinned against it too, and say aloud to the whole world, 'I am a murderer.'"
I honestly feel that this is the most powerful passage in Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov admitted to Sonia that he had killed Aliona Ivanovna, and above was Sonia's reply (once she had recovered from the shock).
Although Sonia is not the main character in the novel, she is one of (if not my most) favorite characters. Sonia always did everything she could to help those in need. Sonia became a prostitute to help financially support her family. She continued to support her step-mother after her father passed away, and she cared for her step-siblings after her step- mother passed away. Not to mention, Sonia loved and provided moral support for Raskolnikov.
Many people pity Sonia, and I do in a way, but mostly I admire her. Sonia was incredibly strong; and her inner beauty and faith was of such a degree that no other character could compare.
