 Crime and Punishment is a book that questions moral norms. He wants to kill the pawnbroker just to see if he can get away with it. We do see that eventually it gets to him mentally, and he becomes delirious. He ends up having to deal with guilt and the want for redemption. Raskolnikov does end up confessing and shows that what we think is logical and rational isn't always.
