The Robin Hood effect

The concept of killing people and stealing to give to others who are needy, is hard to wrap my mind around. Murder is such a complex and emotionally exhausting thing (not that I would know from experience or anything), but the guilt that Rasky toils with and the fear that overwhelms him in the police station seems very tiring and anxious. How shameful must Rasky feel? I totally agree with Em. Dostoevsky does a great job revealing Rasky's inner feelings and anxieties. I feel like certain events in Crime and Punishment emulate, in some ways, of the classic story of Robin Hood. I never really liked Robin Hood. I think he had good motives, just like Rasky, but his moral conscience was just... turned off. That's just a scary idea. Plus he's a fox...And foxes are creepy.
