Comment on Jessicas post

     Jessica made several valid points regarding Raskolnikov and the money he was being handed. During the first couple of pages of the novel, we all realized that Raskolnikov was a very prideful person and he thought of himself very highly compared to the rest of the people living in his town. It did not shock me to see that Raskolnikov rejected all the money that he was being offered, despite how badly he needed it. His pride pride might be the only thing that remains in Raskolnikov ever since the murder occurred. Raskolnikov seems to be going mad from guilt, but he is still the prideful young man that he was at the beginning of the novel. Despite how badly we know that he needs the money, he will continue to reject the offers because he believes that he doesn't need money or pity from others and he can solve his own problems, when in reality due to his current state of mind I don't think he has any chances of fending for himself.
