With the axe . . 舡 (page 60) Š Fear gained more and more mastery over him, especially after this second, quite unexpected murder. (page 80) Š At first he thought he was going mad. A dreadful chill came over him; but the chill was from the fever that had begun long before in his sleep. Now he suddenly started shivering violently, so that his teeth chattered and all his limbs were shaking. (page 89) Š 舠You think I am attacking them for talking nonsense? Not a bit! I like them to talk nonsense. That舗s man舗s one privilege over all creation.
But I am talking too much. It舗s because I babble that I do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I babble because I do nothing. I舗ve learned to babble this last month, lying for days on end in my corner thinking . . just nonsense. Why am I going there now? Am I capable of that? Is that seriously possible? I舗m not serious about it at all. It舗s just a fantasy to amuse myself; a plaything! 舡 The heat in the street was terrible: and the airlessness, the bustle, the plaster, the scaffolding, the bricks and the dust all around him, and that special Petersburg stench, so familiar to everyone who is unable to get out of town during the summer舒all worked painfully upon the young man舗s already overwrought nerves.
He commits the sin of which the Jews accuse Jesus when they say, 舠You, being a man, make yourself God舡 (John 10:33; English Standard Version). Raskolnikov does this by passing judgment on Aliona Ivanovna, claiming that he benefits mankind by ridding it of the pawnbroker. Jesus, by contrast, says, 舠I did not come to judge the world but to save the world舡 (12:47). Jesus prepares a whip from cords in order to chase the money-changers from the temple (2:15-16); Raskolnikov sews his axe-noose and binds his fake pledge with thread, preparing to murder the pawnbroker.
