Even though in this book, Svidrigailov seems like one of the bad guy kind of character and Raskolnikov is the main character that is supposedly the hero, it seems like Raskolnikov has done more serious moral culpabilities than Svidrigailov. Svidrigailov seems like one of the most despicable, creepy, and evil character in this book. One way he had done a moral culpability is when he had murdered his wife not actually proven.
After Dunya quit and left to visit Raskolnikov, a couple days later Svidrigailov comes over to the same city. He then finds Raskolnikov and ask Raskolnikov where is his sister because he wanted to talk to her seems like he was stalking her.
Although he still wanted to help Dunya with money so he left her some money. It is especially when Raskolnikov is involved in the conversation. Another person who does tons of moral culpabilities is Raskolnikov. After hearing him walk away, Raskolnikov sneaks out, neglecting to close the apartment door, and returns to his apartment with his loot.
The following morning, while running a fever and coping with the gravity of his crime, he receives a summons to appear at the police station. He jumps to the conclusion that the police somehow got on to him and want him to own up to the crime. But at the police station, he discovers the summons is for the back rent he owes. After signing a pledge to pay rubles to his landlady, he overhears a discussion of the murders.
In his weak physical state, exacerbated by the psychological effects of his crime, he faints. When he comes to, he wonders whether he aroused suspicion. Hides Loot. At his apartment, he gathers up the loot—including the purse, which he does not open—and takes it to a courtyard, where he hides it under a large stone.
On his way home, he visits a university friend, Dmitri Prokofitch Razhumihin, who also has suspended his education for lack of funds. But he is working to save money so he can return to complete his education. Razhumihin is his only friends from the university; other students think Raskolnikov fancies himself superior to them, and they resent it. Noticing immediately that Raskolnikov is ill, he feels his pulse.
He is making no sense. Suddenly, he gets up and decides to leave. Are you mad, or what? Do you hear? Nothing at all. I am by myself. Come, that's enough. Leave me alone. At first, Raskolnikov accepts it, then rejects it and leaves. Out on the street, he is nearly run over. He lies down on a sofa, shivering, drawing his coat over him. Razhumihim also comes in, informing Raskolnikov that he has been deliriously ill for four days, unable to take anything but tea by the spoonful.
He had tracked down Rodya after the latter had left his residence four days before. Zossimov, a physician, has been in to examine him.

Luzhin leaves in a huff. Discusses the Murders. Meanwhile, as Raskolnikov recovers, he follows news of the murder investigation closely. At the Palais de Cristal Restaurant, while having tea and reading back issues of newspapers with accounts of the murders, he runs into a police clerk named Zametov.
When they discuss the murders, Zametov opines that it was the work of an amateur. Raskolnikov, taken aback, describes the modus operandi as it actually happened and even tells what he would have done with the loot if he had committed the murder.

After he recovers and reassures them that he is simply getting over an illness, he tells Dounia of his angry encounter with Luzhin and that he does not want her to marry him on his account.

Everyone decides to visit Rodya—mother and daughter, Razhumihim, Zossimov. During the visit, Sonia appears. In the presence of so many people, she is extremely shy.
Because these items connect him with the pawnbroker, police might regard him as a suspect. He asks his friend whether he knows the chief investigator on the case, Porfiry Petrovitch. Razhumihim indeed knows him, for he is a relation. Rodya then asks for advice: Should he go to the police station to disclose this information, showing that he has nothing to hide—or to Petrovitch?
Razhumihim says the latter, and they decide to go to see Petrovitch at that very moment. At this point, a great cat-and-mouse game begins between Petrovitch and Raskolnikov. Petrovitch, rotund and good-humored, is a wily, highly competent detective with piercing eyes.
He tells Raskolnikov that he was expecting him. What is more, he says, he already knows what items Raskolnikov pawned, that he has been ill, that he encountered the police clerk Zametov, and that he helped the Marmeladovs.
Raskolnikov is dumbfounded on two accounts. First, he was not aware that his article had been published. Second, he is surprised that Petrovitch knows so much about him. It must be that he considers Raskolnikov a prime suspect. Petrovitch says he was intrigued by a central thesis in the article: that extraordinary people—people with superior intellects—have the right to commit a crime.
Raskolnikov says he believes that, yes, but only under when there are no legal options to remedy a problem.
