Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dmitri Prokofych Razumikhin Raskolnikov’s friend. A poor ex-student, he responds to his poverty not by taking from others but by working even harder. Razumikhin is Raskolnikov’s foil, illustrating through his kindness and amicability the extent to which Raskolnikov has alienated himself from society.

Detailed explanation-2: -Andrei Semyonovich Lebezyatnikov is a caricature rather than a character. He epitomizes those individuals in 19th century Russia who espoused similar progressive ideas and theories. Even his noble actions are tainted by these ideas. People have a need or desire to be on the cutting edge.

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end, Raskolnikov’s compassion causes him to give his last 20 rubles to Katerina to help. This is the money that he has just received from his mother-money that she could hardly spare and not for him to squander on some poor family.
