Part unmatchable of Crime and Punishment goes into a lot of detail about Raskolnikovs crime. In chapter wholeness Dostoevsky shows how Raskolnikov envisions this crime that he is about to assign. Raskolnikov has a plan to murder an doddery, mean pawnbroker. Throughout part iodine Raskolnikov has second guesses about going through with the murder. He doesnt believe that he has enough will power to do such a terrible social occasion. Although, it is a terrible thing to murder someone, Raskolnikov is set on believing that no one will miss this char muliebrity if she is dead.
