Svidrigailov sat lost in thought.
‘And what if there are only spiders there, or something of that sort?’ he said suddenly.
He is a madman, thought Raskolnikov
‘We always imagine eternity as something beyond our conception, something vast, vast! But why must it be vast? Instead of that, what if it’s one little room, like a bathhouse in the country, black and grimy and spiders in every corner, and that’s all eternity is? I sometimes fancy it like that.’
‘Can it be you can imagine nothing juster and more comforting than that?’ Raskolnikov cried, with a feeling of anguish.
‘Juster. And how can we tell, perhaps that is just, and do you know it’s what I would certainly have made it,’ answered Svidrigailov, with a vague smile.

Svidrigailov raised his head, looked at him, and suddenly began laughing.

“With justice definitively separated from innocence — the latter on the cross, the former in the cupboard — I have a free hand to work according to my convictions. I can in all good conscience exercise the difficult profession of judge-penitent on which I have settled after so many disappointments and contradictions.”
- Jean-Baptiste Clamence (Albert Camus, The Fall)
