Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy occupy in their own land not only the place of Dickens, Thackeray, and George Eliot in England, but also to some degree that of Carlyle, Matthew Arnold, or Ruskin. Their works are regarded as not merely diverting tales over which to spend pleasantly an idle hour, but as books full of suggestive and inspiring teaching on moral and social questions. “Fathers and Children” and “Crime and Punishment” are discussed and read not merely for their artistic merit, as reflections of Russian life, but as trenchant criticisms of that life.

The study paper was carried out by using secondary resources. In Vanka, with his simplicity and minuteness of details, Chekhov reveals his sense of man's inhumanity to man. Poverty, widely discussed in Marxist ideologies, is a curse to majority of school age children. The school age child Vanka is not exception anyway. Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis, Ideology, Pedagogy, Apprenticeship, Power Abuse Introduction The present paper is a reading between lines in Anton Chekhov’s Story Vanka for exploring and analyzing sufferings and poor conditions of a little boy of school age. Analysis of the text is done by the means of critical discourse analysis for pedagogical purpose. This study paper, intended to apply the Marxist ideologies in the short story Vanka, deals about pathetically poignant conditions of majority of children in the world. www.ijellh.com 1 SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH e-ISSN: 2582-3574 p-ISSN: 2582-4406 VOL. 8, ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2020 Language is a method of communication and literature can be the content being communicated.

  • An Approach to Reevaluating and Understanding Chekhov in the Perspective of Theme, Motif, Symbol and Writing Style
    European Journal of English Language and Literature Studies Vol.7, No.2, pp.42-54, March 2019 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) AN APPROACH TO REEVALUATING AND UNDERSTANDING CHEKHOV IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THEME, MOTIF, SYMBOL AND WRITING STYLE K.M. Jubair Uddin Lecture in English, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chittagong- 4331 Bangladesh Md. Khurshedul Alam (Corresponding Author) Lecturer in English, Faculty of Science, University of Chittagong, Chittagong- 4331, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Anthon Chekhov can strikingly be marked out for his artistic ingenuity in composing his short stories imbued with cornucopia of ideas with pinpoint accuracy. He has amassed so many cutting edge ideas which represent the matter of opinions which can be often described as a sense of sentimental, emotive, equivocal, weird, funny, and even haunting and taunting . A gushing outlet of emotional intelligence and essence of life are found in Anthon Chekhov’s writing. Chekhovian short stories do not let the reader a solid message rather it caters to the readers to give room to extract the themes of the stories from abyss of twist and turn . Russian literature owes to Chekhov by large for he got the nerves of the Russian people and their turn of mind. His delineation of the characters is enshrouded in delicate touch and his dealings with the characters has an emollient tone. His experiential learning with the social maladies bounds him to present the scenario of decadent, corroding and worked-up society of Russia. His play with the word also contributes to the creation of the characterization more sharply and nicely.

  • 1 Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) the Darling Translated by Constance Garnett Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) Was a Russian Writer of Short
    1 Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) The Darling Translated by Constance Garnett Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was a Russian writer of short stories and plays. He trained as a physician, practicing medicine throughout his life, but his heart was in his writing. He is known as a master of short fiction and one of the founders, along with Ibsen and Strindberg, of the modern theater. His plays, such as Uncle Vanya (1897), The Three Sisters (1901), and The Cherry Orchard (1904), are still performed today. Chekhov died of tuberculosis in 1904. “The Darling” was published in 1899. Olenka, the daughter of the retired collegiate assessor, Plemyanniakov, was sitting in her back porch, lost in thought. It was hot, the flies were persistent and teasing, and it was pleasant to reflect that it would soon be evening. Dark rainclouds were gathering from the east, and bringing from time to time a breath of moisture in the air. Kukin, who was the manager of an open-air theatre called the Tivoli, and who lived in the lodge, was standing in the middle of the garden looking at the sky. “Again!” he observed despairingly. “It's going to rain again! Rain every day, as though to spite me. I might as well hang myself! It's ruin! Fearful losses every day.” He flung up his hands, and went on, addressing Olenka: “There! that's the life we lead, Olga Semyonovna. It's enough to make one cry. One works and does one's utmost, one wears oneself out, getting no sleep at night, and racks one's brain what to do for the best.

  • The Proposal
    ; ? UNIT 11 THE PROPOSAL LET’S BEGIN 1. Facial expressions are non-verbal communications. These expressions play an important role in a play. They are powerful communication tools. The human face is extremely expressive. It is able to convey countless emotions without saying a word. Expressions tell us the mood of the characters in the play. Some facial expressions are given below. The facial expressions are for happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. Look at the facial expressions and write which emotion do they express. ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ 2020-21 Unit-11.indd 151 27-Jun-2019 04:27:43 PM 2. You have read ‘The Proposal’, a one act play. It is a farce. The play is set in only one location, the drawing room of Chubukov’s house. All three characters in the play are quarrelsome people and they quarrel over petty issues. Lomov and Natalya start with the issue like a piece of land that is situated at the border between the two neighbors’ properties. The discussion turns into a quarrel and the marriage proposal is forgotten. They shout at each other. They are again dragged into an argument over the superiority of each other’s dogs. So, they drag their ancestors in their foolish quarrel. They again abuse each other and call names. Now, make groups of four and discuss the following points. While conducting the discussion, try to use the facial expressions given above. • The marriage proposal is a mockery of romance and marriage in the upper class. • The pride in property, even the superiority of dogs, take priority over love and marriage.

  • The Prison Worlds of Dostoevskii, Tolstoi, and Chekhov
    The Prison Worlds of Dostoevskii, Tolstoi, and Chekhov Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Ormiston, M.A. Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Alexander Burry, Advisor Angela Brintlinger Helena Goscilo Copyrighted by Gregory Ormiston 2017 Abstract It may be unsurprising that in nineteenth-century Russia, under a politically sensitive tsarist regime notorious for sending some of the country’s most famous writers into exile, prison became a conspicuous topic in literature. In the second half of the century, the works of three of Russia’s best realist authors - Fedor Dostoevskii, Lev Tolstoi, and Anton Chekhov – prominently featured prison, and even prisoners as heroes. Nevertheless, critical treatment of these prison-related works tends to isolate them to the context of each individual writer. This dissertation explores the carceral connections between these authors to see how prison, as a common theme, played a larger role in the development of nineteenth-century Russian literature than has previously been recognized. My study focuses especially on how prison influences the creation of the three authors’ literary worlds. Specifically, through close reading and analysis of selected texts, I show how the realists use the time and space of prison to produce the themes and forms of their fiction. Thus prison becomes foundational in the works of Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and revelatory in Tolstoi’s late period. Theoretical support for this analysis comes mainly from Mikhail Bakhtin, whose notion of the “chronotope” aids in the investigation of prison-like settings, and Michel Foucault, who tracks the changing nature of prison and its increasing effect on society leading into the era of the Russian realists.
