So rodion finally admits why he killed…to see if he had the mental capacity to do so? All of the great revolutionaries , knew that in order to evoke change, they had to cross moral boundaries that the general populace wouldn’t cross.

But instead of killing anyone who deserves it, he kills 2 women. realizes he doesn’t have the gumption to be what he deems a revolutionary - he can’t stomach it, he is no one

It’s clear that the main character is a complete psycho. It’s very ironic that he has such strict moral values about crime and the type of person who can commit crime but he cannot live with himself for the crimes he has committed. I feel he is judgmental of those around him but it’s unable to look at himself with the same level of scrutiny. I’m interested to see if he can to reflect on his transgressions
