    Razumihin describes Rodya as morose, gloomy, proud, haughty, and suspicious. He notes that Rodya has a noble nature but prefers to do cruel things rather than openly share his feelings. Rodya alternates between being cold and callous, and not being morbid at all. He is extremely reserved and claims to be too busy for anything, though sometimes just lies in bed. Razumihin believes Rodya thinks very highly of himself and hopes the narrator's arrival will have a positive influence on him.

    Crime and Punishment

    Reading Excerpt III (Part III, Chapter II)

    Importance: This is important because it is the second direct narrative description of Rodya. His distress is very
    evident in that everyone can see it.

    "Naturally," answered Razumihin. "I have no mother, but my uncle


    comes every year and almost every time he can scarcely recognise me,
    even in appearance, though he is a clever man; and your three years'
    separation means a great deal. What am I to tell you? I have known
    Rodion for a year and a half; he is morose, gloomy, proud and haughty,
    and of late- and perhaps for a long time before- he has been
    suspicious and fanciful. He has a noble nature and a kind heart. He
    does not like showing his feelings and would rather do a cruel thing
    than open his heart freely. Sometimes, though, he is not at all
    morbid, but simply cold and inhumanly callous; it's as though he
    were alternating between two characters. Sometimes he is fearfully
    reserved! He says he is so busy that everything is a hindrance, and
    yet he lies in bed doing nothing. He doesn't jeer at things, not
    because he hasn't the wit, but as though he hadn't time to waste on
    such trifles. He never listens to what is said to him. He is never
    interested in what interests other people at any given moment. He
    thinks very highly of himself and perhaps he is right. Well, what
    more? I think your arrival will have a most beneficial influence
    upon him."
