One of the greatest chapters in literature - in Crime and Punishment

Raskolnikov's interview/discussion/interrorgation with the police inspector Porfiry has to be one of the greatest chapters in literature. R goes to P, if my memory serves, because he wants to retrieve from the watch he'd pawned with the late pawnbroker (his murder victim), and P turns this visit into a long discussion in which he professes great admiration for and sympathy w/ R; he's read what R wrote about justified killings - his perverse belief that there are some exceptionally talented and gifted people in the world who have the right to kill others in the greater service of humanity (well, perhaps this isn't so different from the idea of justified warfare?) - and he proceeds to question R about his views on murder. The more he befriends R, the more distressed R becomes: P insists to R that R is not a suspect, why would he be?, that this is just a friendly conversation, etc., and R responds that there must be a protocol of some sort for interrogations, that P is trying to disarm him and get him to say something self-incriminating when his guard is down. P denies this, of course. Eventually, R demands that, if he's a suspect, P must tell him so - R ends up pounding a table and saying that he will not stand for such treatment Then, pretty much as he seems to be on the verge of confessing, there's an interruption and someone's brought into P's office - one of the two housepainters who were working in the building at the time of the murders - and he confesses to the crime. Everyone's astonished (including us), as we know that this poor man is innocent and was probably pushed to the brink by a brutal interrogation. All told, this chapter is incredibly dramatic and incisive - and it's probably been the basis of hundreds of other interrogation scene is literature and film for the past 150 years.
