The Sot-Weed Factor
and secret roll for 7 please

I think the Svidrigailav may have some mild bi polarism. The way he spoke when he first came to Raskolnikov had some earmarks of a manic state.
I think >>12521393 probably triggered a depression causing he to dwell more heavily on his deeds
When he is having wine and talking about himself in the saloon he even admits that he is often of a brooding and gloomy nature.

I just finished the chapter ending his life and honestly it may be the very best passage in the whole novel rivaled only by the horse beating fever dream.
