Is Raskolnikov Better Than Everyone?

Raskolnikov is pushing the limits of his freedom. He plays mind games with anyone who suspects he is the murder, and it does seem like he wants to get caught.  The huge variety of his interpersonal thoughts show the complexity of him as a person, and I still want to know more of  the background to what makes him who he is today. I am not sure if he has everything he wants all planned out, or if he is contemplating the value of his freedom versus the clarity of his conscious. I am even starting to question what confessing would mean to him. I am not sure if he would confess because its the “right” thing to do, or if he’s trying to prove something. Before, I was not really ready any signs of his arrogance  or thought that he thinks of himself above anyone else, but I am starting to see more of that. However, his superiority is somewhat true. Raskolnikov committed a crime that no one would have suspected he committed if he did not give up the hints to what he had done. In a way, Porify needs Raskolnikov more than Raskolnikov needs to be cautious with Porify. He could have gotten away with it and he knows it. It seems like Raskolnikov is comfortable with being the person with control in many situations. For example, when Marmeladov was dying Raskolnikov kept yelling out that “he would pay” when no one really asked, or when he said that he would not ask Marmeladov’s daughters to pray to him like they would to the priest; I found that to be strange, and  in a way, he wants people to look up to him. It’s almost like if you get a good SAT score, you don’t really just blurt it out, but you try to put yourself in situations or a conversation where you can somehow prove your intelligence to other people. I don’t think we can classify Raskolnikov’s character easily because he has many sides to him, and while reading you don’t really know how he’s going to act. He could be humble and give people with more need his money, but one could take that as he wants to show his superiority to others. Maybe he’s extremely guilty, or he’s just afraid of punishments. Even though Raskolnikov has the intelligence to carry out the perfect crime,  I still don’t see him as a criminal.
