Reaction: Crime and punishment
The
book is starting to take a whole new turn now; Raskolnikov committed a murder
against Lizaveta and the old pawnbroker. As a result, guilt begins to consume
Raskolnikov. He lies in bed for day’s delirious shouting out things that make
absolutely no sense, Nastasia ended up taking care of him for the duration of
his sickness. When Raskolnikov wakes up and recovers from his sickness, he
forgets about the murder he committed for some time. Moments before he
recovered when he was in a semi delirious state a man named Vrazumikhin comes
to see Raskolnikov. He convinces Raskolnikov into signing a book that entitles him to some money from his sister or so called husband, formally known as Mr. Chebarov. He
receives the money and doesn’t even realize until Mr. Razumkhin gives him new
clothes and tells him everything is taken care of. I thought Raskolnikov hated
the man his sister was going to marry. This demonstrates Raskolnikov’s change
in attitude towards money and his family. He cares more about the money he received
then his own sister. I believe the murder caused him to change. Raskolnikov’s rapid change of opinion from not needing the money to essentially
now wanting it leads me to believe that he actually likes Mr. Chebarov now.
People
all over Russia are starting to find out about the murder. Zosimov and
Razumkhin in particular begin to discuss what’s been happening and their
thoughts on the murder with Raskolnikov. Razumkhin demonstrates his want for
the authorities to find the real murderer. I can’t wait to see his reaction when
he finds out that his friend Raskolnikov was the one responsible. But,
currently Raskolnikov is in the safe zone. The authorities have essentially
blamed the painter for the murder. The evidence they hold against him is the earring’s
Raskolnikov dropped while trying to get away. Ultimately, the story is really
starting to develop, I can’t wait to find out what happens with Raskolnikov in
the future.
