One instance towards the end of Crime and Punishment that relates quite definitively to Evan's Enormous Question is the dialogue between Sonia and Raskolnikov right after Rask. told Sonia about what he has done(the murders).
Starting on page 383, Raskolnikov states, "Sonia, I have a bad heart, take note of that...I have come because I am bad. There are men who wouldn't have come. But I am a coward...a mean wretch."
Sonia says, "No, no it was a good thing you came. It's better I should know, far better".
Rask. replies, "I wanted to become a Napolean, that's why I killed her...Do you understand now?
