Parts 1-3: it seems like my statuses got deleted. Rodion kills for a theory, but there is no end to his means. I’m not sure where his delirium stems from guilt or self loathing for not being the type whom has the right to kill.
He kills 2 peasant women. Afterwards, he’s unable to look himself in the mirror. He self punishes yet is reluctant to confess.

Juxtaposing his only willing confession, to the child like woman who he taunts, with being caught red handed by the police. In the former, he is tortuously burdening this young woman, whom is in some ways indebted to him with the heinous crime of the axe murders.

Throughout the book and in the moment, even while confessing, he is unable to take the blame, citing the devil as having killed the women. In this moment the young woman prays for his soul. He taunts her, forcing her to read the story of Lazarus from the Bible.
Whereas when he is accused, he shrinks into himself; he becomes the young woman. Timid and afraid, asking who is the murderer? Again denying the murder. rodion is a man of cowardice who has to be in control. When he has the upper hand, he taunts but when his feels like his power is threatened, he self victimizes
