Crime and Punishment: Unscrupulous Crime Raskolnikov committed the crime of premeditated murder. Only one of his two murders was actually premeditated, the one committed against Alyona Ivanova. Lizaveta, the tortured sister, is an involuntary death: he is forced to kill her when he fails to close the door and she manages to enter. The scoundrel Raskolnikov's crime also reverberates on a much deeper moral level within his own man. Head. He ignores the ultimate rule of good and evil, the principles of justice, and believes that if he arbitrarily kills this person no one will be hurt because Alyona is a life for society. Raskolnikov coolly and casually contemplates his future actions, conducting "experiments" and feeling that he can in no way make a mistake in carrying out the crime. He feels that since what he is doing is "not really a crime", he will not forget the details and that he will be able to carry it out by making all the mistakes that will eventually allow him to be caught. . In the end we see that Raskolnikov grossly overestimates his abilities to support himself and all the details of the murder. We see that he leaves a preponderance of detail up in the air, leaving too much in his plan to chance, right from the first act of acquiring an axe.
