I really like Jessica’s comment describing Raskolnikov’s behavior as “plagued by paranoia and deliria” because it perfectly describes exactly as what is going in this story. The comment that his life is “plagued” is perfectly on point in that it absolutely consumes his world causing him to be ill sleeping for more than six hours at a time and being constantly forgetful, as Jessica stated. I agree with Jessica in Razumikhin being a foil character as he is essentially the exact opposite of Raskolnikov. For everything that Raskolnikov lacks, his college friend seems to have plus more. The characterization of these people seems to be only of people who Raskolnikov spends significant time thinking about. Whether he is jealous of the person or likes the person, the author makes sure to spend specific time drawing attention to Raskolnikov’s desires as Jessica stated.
