Raskolnikov's evil side prevails

Raskolnikov's mysterious plan is finally shown and executed. He had consistently had hatred for Alyona Ivanova, because he had overheard people saying she was an extremely bitter woman who had no purpose, and after hearing it multiple times he decided that it was his own job to be the one to kill her. He always had these thoughts in his head in the previous chapters, but I never knew what the thoughts were about, until it was revealed in this reading and then executed. Not only does he muder Alyona, but his sister as well. He did not intend on killing her too at first, but he killed her in the end because she was a witness to him standing over her dead sister's body and she could not tell anybody what he did, so he killed her too. He killed his witness. This twist to the story was kind of a shocker to me because even though I suspected him of doing something evil, he had moments where he committed such humane actions, such as giving away his money or helping that girl, that I did not think he would just go and kill somebody because he felt it was his duty to eliminate her from the planet. His evil side, so to say, prevails in this case.
