For this business I should be as unnoticeable as possibly..." || Raskolnikov can not seem to make up his mind on such a simple task.

But although he had almost always been by himself recently, he had never been able to feel alone. ... It did not frighten him, but greatly annoyed him, so he made haste to return to the town, to mingle with the crowd, to go into restaurants and taaverns, to walk in busy streets." || Raskolnikov contradicts himself on the topic of solitude and punishment.
