He tells her that her family has been evicted, but urges her not to go and help them. He confesses to the murder to Sonya. She responds with deep pity and promises to support Raskolnikov and not abandon him. She is shocked when he tells her that his situation and poverty was not the motive for his crime. He says "I was ambitious to become another Napoleon; that was why I committed a murder." He also confesses that he feels detached from other people and believed and still maybe believes that he is superior to most other people. Sonya tells him that he has been punished for turning away from God. He reaffirms that the crime was fueled by self-absorption, that he wished to prove that he was extraordinary and able to take actions that ordinary people cannot. Sonya tells him that he must confess to his crimes publicly for God to give him peace. At first he is resistant, but soon consents. Sonya promises to see him in prison and support him. She also gives Raskolnikov a pendant crucifix to wear, like the one she wears, saying that they will both bare their crosses. Then Lebezyatnikov knocks on the door.
