Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Lexile: 850–990

An impoverished student commits murder

to prove a philosophical point, and falls

into a labyrinth of moral doubt.

Connection to

Essential Question

Raskolnikov is misled by his bold but

harmful ideals. Under great emotional

strain, flying between cynical despair and

self-certainty, he eventually comes to a

healthy and clear-headed worldview. The

extremes of his ideas offer insight into the

Essential Question: Why are both vision

and disillusion necessary?

Jude the Obscure

Thomas Hardy

Lexile: 1060–1110

A working-class man dreams of

becoming a scholar and struggles against

the bonds of Victorian society.

Connection to

Essential Question

Both faith and doubt prompt characters

to action. The goals they pursue depend

on what they believe is possible. Jude’s

experiences may make students question

what kind of vision will help him succeed,

a question closely linked to the Essential

Question: Why are both vision and

disillusion necessary?

The Alchemist

Paul Coelho

Lexile: 910

A shepherd boy goes on an adventure to

seek treasure–and finds his destiny.

Connection to

Essential Question

Coelho strongly advocates belief in one’s

destiny and pursuing a vision. On a few

occasions, Santiago finds that seeming

setbacks have actually brought him closer

to his goal. In this case, the author seems

to question the value of disillusionment,

providing a useful point of comparison

and argument in the Essential Question:

Why are both vision and disillusion

necessar y?
