Crime and Punishment (Guess what this book is about.)

" Crime and Punishment" written by Fedor Dostoevsky, is so far about a guy named Raskolnikov in Russia. Raskolnikov (call him R), is a university drop out that's poor. He is also a recluse, likes to talk to himself and may or may not be crazy in my opinion. He keeps talking to himself about doing something that repulses him but something he can't stop thinking about.Which might be him committing a crime( because hey, the title is crime and punishment). The mood of the story is kind of dreary, especially when the novel describes the poverty of the city. The narration is third person, but it seems limited to only R at this point. R is described as physically handsome but is portrayed as snobbish and very passive ( in my opinion). I hope that when I finally read more of the novel I'll understand what R is going to do (like kill someone?).
