Reaction to Alexia's Blog

I agree with Alexia (and Rachael) that the book keeps becoming more and more boring and redundant. I agree with Alexia that the sudden infatuation Razumihin has with Dunya is a nice break from the dullness of the novel of murdering this person, then panic attack, then internal debates. It was definitely a lighter break that was definitely necessary. I like that you pointed out that Dunya said she is marrying for herself, not for Raskolnikov, because Raskolnkiov very frequently said she was marrying for him, and I also like that you point out her strength. I am starting to like Dunya's character.
