Part 3 - Ch 4-6

       Raskolnikov is finally suspected to be the murderer of Alyona. While reading through the pages where Raskolnikov and Razumikhin enter Porfiry's house, I felt very uncomfortable for Raskolnikov. It is the first time throughout the whole novel that Raskolnikov is being called out as a probable suspect for this muder, but he is still not being called out directly. Porfiry seems to be the first one to catch onto the fact that Raskolnikov could have been the murderer, and she decides to test him while they are all at her house, even in front of the policeman there, Zamyotov. It all started with Razumikhin messing around with him and joking about how nervous he gets when the murder case is brought up. I don't think he did this to throw his friend under the bus or anything because Razumikhin does not believe that his friend, Raskolnikov, was capable of committing the murder. Although once the article that Raskolnikov  wrote is brought up, things get a little more awkward. Razumikhin is quite shocked that his friend could think this way about something as serious as a murder. I don't even know why Raskolnikov would write something like that. I constantly get the feeling that he wants people to know that he committed the murder and got away with it because he is always dropping hints and saying weird comments that give off the idea that he could have killed Alyona, but now that people actually suspect him, he is trying to do everything he can to clear his name.
     Raskolnikov gets lucky again when he is able to avoids Porfirys "trick question" before they leave the house. He then for the first time discusses his involvement as a suspect for the murder with Razumikhin and in some way asks for advice. I think that at this time, Raskolnikov is really getting desperate and doesnt know what to do anymore. Its all becoming more real to him now that people actually suspect him to be the murderer. He is growing more and more desperate for forgiveness and a way to relieve his guilt, but at this point I have no idea how he will achieve that.
