Chapter 13: Fellow Prisoners' Stories
In prison, Raskolnikov met many fellow prisoners. Each of them had their own stories; some committed crimes because of poverty, others made mistakes because of impulse.
Through communicating with his fellow prisoners, Raskolnikov began to understand the complexity of human nature. He realized that everyone makes mistakes, but everyone has the opportunity to start anew.
These experiences made Raskolnikov more mature and humble. He began to learn to forgive himself and also learned to forgive others.
