Part 4 chapters 1-3

         Every time Raskolnikov says something out of the ordinary, Razumikhin always analyzes it or has to "think for a moment." After the first incident with Porfiry, in part 3, I thought  Razumikhin had started to put two and two together. In chapter 2 of part four, Raskolnikov tells Razumikhin that he truly believes he is crazy and that certain events have happened because it was his imagination. When Razumikhin told Raskolnikov about his encounter with Porfiry, he claimed that he did not agree with their accusations about Raskolnikov. It seemed as if Razumikhin was in denial about Raskolnikov. So far, Razumikhin can be described Raskolnikov's true friend. No matter what Raskolnikov does or says, Razumikhin somehow manages to forgive him and still care for him. When Raskolnikov asks him to take care of his family and watch for Svidrigailov, Razumikhin does is quick to offer his services. Even though Razumikhin's beliefs are different that those of Raskolnikov's, he does not judge Raskolnikov and does not try to anger him too much. I can tell that Razumikhin really does care for Raskolnikov and would be hurt if anything happened to him. At the end of their dinner with Dunya, Raskolnikov's mother, and Luzhin, Raskolnikov randomly decides to leave and tell them it might possibly be the last time they see him. At this, Razumikhin and Raskolnikov's family are in shock. It really was at random. To me it did not make any sense why he would just randomly decide to leave until Razumikhin left to catch up with Raskolnikov. At the end of chapter 3, Raskolnikov and Razumikhin exchange glances and at that moment, Razumikhin realized Raskolnikov was in fact the murderer. Even after this knowledge, Razumikhin does what Raskolnikov asks him to do and covers for Raskolnikov. 
     In these last three chapters, I realized how strange Luzhin truly is. Now I agree with Raskolnikov and Razumikhin. On his way to the dinner, Luzhin wondered if he should just turn around and not continue with the dinner but decides to stay. I found that really strange. Luzhin also makes himself seem under control and well behaved, but when something does not go his way, he cracks. When he realizes that Razumikhin was the one who picked up Dunya and her mother, he is not pleased. When it mentioned that Luzhin had a punishment planned for Dunya and her mother, it made me question what sort of man he is. He claims he is respectful and trustworthy but he his under certain "instructions" and then insults everyone at the dinner. This is not how I first pictured him. When the book first introduced him, I thought he was behaving a certain way because he was arrogant and that it was not really out of the ordinary but as he continued to be a problem with the characters, it was obvious something was bound to happen.
