Battle in Raskolnikov's heart

The page contains the conversation between Raskolnikov and Porfiry Petrovitch.

As I read through this chapter I can feel the battle that's been going on in Raskolnikov's heart, the anxiety and worry of his mother and sister about his wellness and of his friend Razumihin.

The slow and rapid evolution of his feelings about the murder that are tirelessly working as ropes of iron choking his heart as his mind and conscience are at war with each other.

In his own words, the presence of his sister and mother once brought him joy now dreadful of it.

Their love feels heavy for him and it hurts for him to be loved by them.

As he is going through all his mental battles he is slowly realising that buried thoughts secrets will haunt him forever unless he faces them or lose his mind.

It teaches us the lesson of clear conscience and not keeping secrets with our loved ones.

One day all hidden secrets,lies shall explode in our face and let us be the very reason for the suffering of our loved ones.
