Raskolnikov’s greatest crime in the context of this book is not the murder (which is repeatedly justified in text by the old woman’s greed amidst great poverty) but his horrendous behavior towards his only friend. Literally what does Razumikhin get for his beneficence and loyalty except more responsibilities and trouble??
