Photo from a dramatic renactment of Crime and Punishment, showing Razumikhin nursing Raskolnikov back to health.
After stashing the items he stole from the pawnbroker, Raskolnikov deliriously wanders to Vassilievsky Island, to the embankment of the Little Neva, near the bridge, and realizes that here, on the fifth floor, was Razumikhin"s closet. He visits him, and his friend perceives his definite physical and mental ailment.
QUOTE: "He went up to Razumikhin"s on the fifth floor. He was at home, in his closet, busy writing at the moment, and opened the door himself. They had not seen each other for about four months. Razumikhin stood there in a dressing gown worn to tatters, with shoes on his bare feet, disheveled, unshaved, and unwashed. His face showed surprise. "What"s with you?" he cried, looking his entering friend over from hed to foot; then he paused and whistled. "It"s that bad, is it? You"ve even outdone me, brother," he added, looking at Raskolnikov"s rags. "Sit down, you must be tired!" And when he collapsed onto the oilcloth Turkish sofa, which was even worse than his own, Razumikhin suddenly noticed that his guest was ill. "But you"re seriously ill, do you know that?" He began feeling his pulse; Raskolnikov pulled his hand back. "Don"t," he said. "I"ve come...the thing is, I have no lessons...I wanted...however, I don"t need any lessons..." "You know what? You"re raving!" observed Razumikhin, who was watching him closely. (p. 111)
