Crime and Punishment: Part II, Chapter One

Translate Into:
In this chapter, we find that following a rather restless sleep, Raskolnikov frantically searches through his clothes for any signs of blood. While doing the search, he finds the pawned items that he stole from the pawn-broker; he tries to first hide them in the wall-paper inside one of his walls. He wonders, then, if the punishment for the crime that he committed the day before has already started: "Can this be the punishment already beginning? Indeed it is," -- around noon, Nastasya and the porter enter his room and they hand a summons to Raskolnikov, which states that he is to report to the police station. And, although he is very worried about the summons, he thinks to himself that this summons cannot possibly be due to the murders committed only the day before. He later reports to the police station only to find that the reason for the summons is due to the fact that his landlady has reported him as a debtor -- he owes more than four months of rent. However, after over-hearing a conversation of a detective, who is discussing the murders, Raskolnikov soon faints. When he finally does "come to," the detective (here, Ilya Petrovich), asks him what he was doing yesterday and where he was. Raskolnikov is then seen leaving the station, worried that the police are already thinking that it was he who had committed the murders.

Question Raskolnikov is his own worse enemy during this part of the book, which is actually the "punishment" part. In what two ways is he suffering? (mainly)
