"Crime and Punishment" is such an important landmark in world literature, that there are literally millions of words written on this subject. Whatever my own interpretation, I could hardly write something that would meaningfully add to the existing works. However, I thought it fitting to point out that Raskolnikov's real motive wasn't raising some cash and getting away with it.

who in this thread claimed that Raskolinov's real motive was "raising some cash and getting away with it"?

You can provide a sort summary of an argument you find compelling regarding Raskolnikov's motivations without adding about to the millions of words written on this subject. You are also free to describe your own interpretation without feeling obliged to add something novel or useful to what's already out there.

Considering how much I agree with you that Raskolnikov didn't "just need to keep his mouth shut" (a phrase that did show up in this thread), I'm actually and sincerely very interested in your interpretation.
