I really liked the ideas that you came up with for your paper.
1. I thought your first topic was your best one. This topic is present throughout the whole book and there are a lot of examples you could use throughout your paper. Plus, it is something Raskolnikov comes back to every now and then to justify his actions.

4. Even though this is a good topic, I think it might be difficult to write a paper out of this. I thought that Raskolnikov's mother and sister really do love him and both have done so much to try to support him and really do try to care for him. It is true that he feels that not many like him or love him for that matter but I feel that writing this topic would be hard due to the lack of examples from the book.
