Rodion is the only one in the room not feeling relief because of the deathly darkness that has taken over him—no wonder he must entirely retreat from his family and friend. What a horrible existence. How does one break out of such a prison?
Yes, Raskolnikov's entire plan didn't go as he thought. He didn't actually become some kind of superman, as he had imagined. Instead, he locked himself up with himself.
I was intently reading your comments of 4.3 while sitting at a coffee waiting for a friend. At the end, I looked up and she was sitting at the table with me! She said, “ I have been here for five minutes.” I told her I was absorbed in Dostoevsky and apologized. We both laughed. This is a great compliment to your essays!

Wow, Paula, that's high praise for me! 😊 I think Gogol played a role here: he's mystical and amazing.
