ABSTRACT This article examines the epilogue of Dostoevskii’s novel Crime and Punishment from the perspective of genre and generic expectation. Considering two generic plots that appear in the novel, the detective plot and the redemption narrative, the author argues that the imagined reader’s generic expectation is both satisfied and thwarted in each case. The author introduces the idea of “generic stasis” to refer to Raskol'nikov’s situation vis-à-vis generic plot in each plot trajectory of the epilogue. In upsetting generic expectation, this state of generic stasis creates an opening that enables the novel’s ending to occur. In this sense, the article argues for the utility of the epilogue’s generic hybridity in resisting narrative pre-determination.

描绘结局：普遍的期望和犯罪与惩罚的怪诞结尾

摘要本文从体裁和普遍期望的角度考察陀思妥耶夫斯基小说《犯罪与惩罚》的结尾。考虑到小说中出现的两种一般情节，即侦探情节和救赎叙事，作者认为想象中的读者的一般期望在每种​​情况下都得到满足和阻碍。作者介绍了“一般停滞”的概念，指的是在结语的每个情节轨迹中，拉斯科尔尼科夫相对于一般情节的处境。在不安的普遍期望中，这种普遍的停滞状态创造了一个使小说的结局得以发生的机会。从这个意义上说，文章主张结语的一般杂种在抵制叙事性预先决定中的效用。
