As far as the novel goes, Rodya has not yet been providing any goods for his poor neighbors. Then why does he think his reasons of murder were good? After Dr. Zossimov has been going on his tails about the case, he seems to recollect his mind into ending it all and give himself to the police. But after seeing a woman's attempt to suicide, he changed his mind. The question lies here, "What if he does surrender to the police? How would he atone himself of his guilt?" He thinks that turning himself in will end everything, but has he ever thought about his father and how they will react? Back in the days, there was no way to redeem someone's guilt, but rather taking their life in return. We have laws now that reduces the penalty of crimes at a limit. In my opinion, he shouldn't be redeemed or atoned for his doings. How can he? He killed a person, a living person who dies forever. I feel that killing things that has a heart beat is a crime and not a crime to things that doesn't have one.
The values that I treasure is the values that I've been taught. Anything that doesn't belong to me means that I cannot touch them or steal them for my own cause. Everyone has likes and dislikes and we know everyone can't agree with one decision. That is why we all have arguments and debates. In the end, no one is right/wrong because it's how the opinion we think is embedded in our minds through experience. We may think this is right because we saw it happened or we may think its wrong because we that happen. Its all in the head!!
