Porfiry is convinced of Raskolnikov’s guilt but gives him a chance to confess on his own. Raskolnikov struggles with his decision, torn between his ideology and his conscience. Ultimately, Sonya persuades him to surrender, and he finally confesses at the police station. During the trial, his crime is interpreted as an act of moral confusion rather than pure malice, leading to a relatively lenient sentence. He is sentenced to exile in Siberia, with Sonya following him. At first, he remains cold and detached, but over time, he begins to rediscover his humanity through Sonya’s unwavering support.
