Summary/Abstract: The article presents the system of characters from two major literary works: Crime and Punishment by F. Dostoievsky and Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev. The purpose of the analysis is to present the main connections between the protagonists, Raskolnikov and Bazarov, the similarities and the differences.This is being done through comparative analysis. We will see that the system of characters is similar and that the western ideas are present in both cases, but the way in which they are manifested is different. Eventually, we will point out that Bazarov’s problem could find a solution in Dostoievsky’s character.
