When Raskolnikov is asked how he would act in such a situation, Raskolnikov says that after committing the murder, he would hide the stolen goods under a rock and would extract the goods after two or three years, so the police don’t get suspicious. After hearing this, Zametov calls Raskolnikov a “madman”. Suddenly, Raskolnikov asks Zametov what if he is the murderer and Zametov seems a bit suspicious, but then states that that can’t be true.

Raskolnikov gives the discourse as if he were disconnected from it. He doesn't understand the ramifications of what he is stating, he doesn't understand that what he is portraying is not him. This discourse ought to have made Raskolnikov reflect; it ought to have made him doubt his circumstance, particularly after the homicide he confers and his self-personality infection (phenomenal or customary?). Be that as it may, Raskolnikov's discourse has no such impact; he talks as if perusing a transcript or discussing a retained lyric, as though some person is talking through him and as though the words had no effect on his inner voice. He takes a gander at the ground while talking, as though panicked of the ramifications of the hypothesis for his own life, yet he never voices this apprehension, he just proceeds onward, "as he said these words and amid the entire going before tirade he kept his eyes on one spot on the floor covering" (245).
