Raskolnikov's Character and Introduction

Description of Raskolnikov: 'He was so badly dressed that even a man accustomed to shabbiness would have been ashamed to be seen in the street in such rags.' Also: 'He was crushed by poverty, but the anxieties of his position had of late ceased to weigh upon him.'

His self-aware contempt: 'I want to attempt a thing like that and am frightened by these trifles.'
