Dosteovsky and his characters

Rodya's characteristics and personality traits haven't changed much atall throughout the book. Normally I would be bored by this, however Iabsolutely love that Rodya is one of the only people that change, butdon't at the same time. In the beginning of Crime and Punishment therewere many clues that something was not right with Rodya. After themurder these little clues just became more apparent. I don'tunderstand how people don't notice these things. Every time the murderis mentioned, Raskolnikov starts sweating, getting sick, becomingfrighteningly pale. How come the other characters such as Razumikhin,who is with Rodya all day, appear to be so naive and gullible?Dostoevsky does an amazing job putting dramatic irony into Crime andPunishment. It makes me want to keep reading about Rodya's outburstsand about the horrible conditions of most of the other characters.
