Reaction to part 2
As Raskolnikov's friends continue to discuss the murder in the comfort of his own home Raskolnikov continues to get even more upset. Randomly, his sisters soon to be husband enters Raskolnikovs house unexpected and unannounced. This causes Raskolnikov to become even more upset. Ofended by Raskolnikov, Luzhin leaves the room, and his friends continue to talk about the murder. Raskolnikov gives little input to the conversation every now and then, but he is still angered any time that the conversation is brought up. His anger soon takes over him, and Raskolnikov kicks all of his friends out of his house. For the first time since the murder was committed, Raskolnikov's friends take note of the fact that Raskolnikov seems to get extremely upset whenever the topic is brought up.
Despite the fact that we know Raskolnikov is severely ill, he believes that he is feeling much better and goes out to town. Raskolnikov has a very awkward encounter with a police man, Zamyotov, about the murder. He was telling him all about crime and murders claiming to be an expert on both topics. I found this conversation very weird, because immediately after the murder, Raskolnikov was filled with guilt and was paranoid that the police new he was the murderer and would soon be after him. Now, he goes up to a police man and tells him all about how he knows everything there is to know about crimes and getting away with murder.
I think that Raskolnikovs health is taking over him more so as time passes. He randomly thinks that he is feeling better and decides to go out and act out all confident, but then the next second he is back to feeling ill and has to go to Razumikhin's house so that he could look after him because he had fainted in the middle of the streets of town.
