Crime and Punishment: Chapter Six
In this chapter, the reader is reminded about how Raskolnikov first developed the idea to murder Alyona Ivanovna -- and, in fact, this is the first "explicit" identification of the awful act that is about to be committed, one that he is contemplating. The reader knows, at this point, that Raskolnikov had developed a deep-seated hatred for the pawn-broker, ever since the first time he saw her. Soon, afterwards, while in a bar, he overhears a conversation between a student and an officer whereas the old woman is actually "denounced" as a "parasite" and that humanity would be better off if she were killed and her wealth then re-distributed to the poor.
The narrative then slips back to the present, and Raskolnikov falls into a deep sleep, one which he does not come out of until the following evening. Realizing that it's already 6PM, he hurries to get ready to commit the crime, that is, kill the pawn-broker.
