Rodion Raskolnikov was an impoverished ex-student who planned to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker, an old woman who stored money and valuable objects in her flat. He theorised that with the money he could liberate himself from poverty and go on to perform great deeds, and sought to convince himself that certain crimes were justifiable if they were committed in order to remove obstacles to the higher goals of 'extraordinary' men.
