Some analytical questions on C&P

13. At Marmeladov’s death scene, Raskolnikov is covered with blood—just as at the murder scene. Explain his reaction to blood in both scenes.

28. What has Porfiry learned about Raskolnikov before he comes to his office? Porfiry says: “If only you know how you interest me.” Does Porfiry know Raskolnikov? How? Through the fainting? Because of Zametov? Because of Raskolnikov’s extraordinary man theory?

i would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out on these :)
