Day of atonement in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment and O’Connor’s Revelation Humankind is tormented by pride. People continually contrast themselves with each other and modify their pride as indicated by their perception of themselves in their general surroundings.

Fyodor Dostoevsky and Flannery O’Connor, as authors and adherents to the Christian religion, depict two characters that imagine how they will be decided on day of atonement.
