Brothers to the End

Razuminkhin and Raskolnikov are really good friends, almost like brothers. One of my favorite parts of the book was in the end of part IV chapter 3 because Razuminkhin finally discovers that Rask is the murderer. Razuminkhin finds out not by Rask verbally telling him but by just looking into his eyes he knew. This shows the strong bond they had between each other. “Suddenly Razumihin started. Something strange, as it were, passed between them. . . . Some idea, some hint, as it were, slipped, something awful, hideous, and suddenly understood on both sides. . . . Razumihin turned pale.” He then walks away and returns with the others.
