ABSTRACT This article re-examines the structural relationship of the epilogue of Crime and Punishment to the rest of the novel, arguing that the three central events of the plot, the murder, the confession, and the conversion, function as “open” moments or aporias in the text that lie at the intersection of multiple explanatory narratives. These events are presented by the narrator as key to Raskol'nikov’s plot and identity, yet an explanation of their meaning is elided as they are simultaneously anticipated and deferred. The article examines the role of competing models of confession within the novel’s emplotment as well as the narrator’s use of temporal disruption that allows him to have it both ways: to anticipate Raskol'nikov’s future conversion while at the same time showing the extent to which he is shaped by his Idea in the present. It argues that the problems of narrative closure are key to the poetics of the novel, and that the novel’s own hermeneutic structure invites a dialectical reading of the work as a whole and its ending.

延期与预期的冲突：犯罪与惩罚的结尾和叙事封闭的困难

摘要本文重新审视了《犯罪与惩罚》尾声与小说的其余部分之间的结构关系，认为情节的三个主要事件，谋杀，供认和悔改是“公开”时刻或文本中的阿波里亚语位于多个解释性叙述的交集处。叙述者将这些事件作为Raskol'nikov的情节和身份的关键来呈现，但由于同时预期和推迟了对它们的含义的解释，所以省略了它们。本文探讨了自白模式在小说中的竞争作用，以及叙述者对时间中断的使用，这使他能够同时拥有两种方式：预测拉斯科利尼科夫的未来conversion依，同时展示他在何种程度上受其影响由他目前的想法所塑造。
