Dostoyesvky does achieve the suspense in his novel by the mean of Raskolnikov's thoughts and his reaction to each situation he is put in. The debates in his mind and th overthinking over his confession make of every conversation a stressful experience for the reader and Raskilnikov. The scene in which both Raskolnikov and Dimitri visit Porfiry Petrovich for the first time was a prime example of this usage of description. As Rodya suffers in every question and is constantly reminding himself that he is about to fall in a trap and tempted to confess to him. Dostoyevsky plays with the description in his main character's mind whenever he presents what he has done in the story and how he feels about about it. Making it very efficient in his desplay of Raskolnikov's struggle and punishment to hismself.

Dostoyevky has created such a complex portrait of psycological behaviour to show in one character the whole funtioning and versatility of the human species and just about how fast we can change from ne extreme to the opposite. To prove his theory of the "superhuman" and how they are supposed to push forward humanity, they must prove it. By the term superhumans, Dostoyesky means to exaggerate human traits in his character whose funtion is to emphazise this. The guilt in which Raskolnikov is able to live with is proof of punishment to every crime we commit, and guilt is the resulting crime to it. Raskolnikov is an exaggeration of humans as in their psycological aspect and shows how unstable the "brightest" of us really are, and demosntrates us that none of us is really safe from it, its just human nature.
