He in the end rejects it because he failed to murder and rob without questioning himself and with connecting it to a greatness in his future that would justify it so he had no right to take such a step in the first place. I think the epilogue with his dream of a disease which makes people believe in their theories as true which cause in some way an armagedon and "life replacing theory" are amusing.

Minor: Antisemitism
