Comment on Davis

    I agree with Davis and his views towards Raskolnikovs attitude. It's getting annoying how Raskolnikov constantly changes his personalities. At one point, you feel bad for him because he wants forgiveness and wants to be relieved of this guilt, and then the next he feels superior to everyone because he was able to take this women's life because her life wasn't worth it. I see this as somewhat ironic. Who is Raskolnikov to say that someones life wasn't worth it? Maybe this wasn't the nicest lady in the world, but then again Raskolnikov isn't doing anything with his life either. Raskolnikov dropped out of school and lives off of the money that his mother and sister send him. He doesn't even try to look for work, and he is now sick and going crazy because of the guilt that is growing in him because of the murder he willingly committed… that sounds like the complete opposite of "superman". 
    I think that Raskolnikov is finally getting discovered for what he did. His days of having his own personal guilt as his punishment are over. I think that soon he will be brought into some questioning of some sort and knowing his character, he will probably act out, making him seem even more suspicious.
