Absolutely critical that you keep in mind that Raskolnikov is a 23 year old man, otherwise nothing he does or thinks will make a lick of sense.
Also I need someone smarter than me to explain why we get this extended Svidrigailov sequence at the end…Like I guess it’s a counterpoint to Rodion’s handling of his own crime but is there something more there? Because if it’s just that, it doesn’t work for me.
