(2019). The Character Development of Dmitry Gurov as Influenced by Anna Sergeyevna in Chekhov’s "Lady with Lapdog". Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Sanata Dharma. This thesis discusses the development of Dmitry Dmitrich Gurov's character as influenced by Anna Sergeyevna in the short story "Lady with Lapdog" by Anton Chekhov. Referring to Gurov’s character as the main character discussed in this thesis, the story tells about the life of a man that is full of pressure and bitterness since he has been married. This factor has made him unfaithful to his wife by choosing to enjoy other women because he lives without love. Consequently, Gurov and Anna have undergone an affair since they first meet. Anna has influenced Gurov’s character to become more loyal to her. In this thesis, two main problems are examined by the researcher. The first problem is about how characters are being described. Meanwhile, the second problem discusses how Anna Sergeyevna influences Dmitry Gurov’s character development. This thesis is an analytical study that applies the library research methods. This method is then used to collect primary and secondary data from books and journals related to this thesis. The primary data is taken from a short story by Anton Chekhov translated into English by David Magarshack in Fiction: An Introduction to Reading and Writing. The other secondary data are obtained from books and sources related to this research. The analysis of this thesis: firstly, we analyze Gurov and Anna’s characters. At the beginning of the story, Gurov’s character is depicted as a lonely man who loves to admire women, but he feels depressed and hopeless. This bitter life experience has encouraged him to escape from a monotonous life and have an affair with a stranger. On the other hand, Anna's character is portrayed as an innocent, naïve, and religious girl. She has good social status as seen from the way she dressed and gestured. Second, we can find

    Inskrypcje. Półrocznik, R. IX 2021, z. 1 (16), ISSN 2300-3243 pp.15 – 22; DOI 10.32017/ip2021.1.2 TIME AND SPACE OF EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE FEAST TEXTS OF A. CHEKHOV: THE CULTURAL ASPECT Irina Anatolyevna Mankevich Russia, Saint-Petersburg [email protected] (Translated by A.Dudina) Abstract. The article studies the feast poetics as a text of daily culture and litera- ture. The visual and verbal images of the feast appear as the feast text at least in three forms. The first form of the feast is the food itself, something that you can eat. The second is the way of behavior, the set of rules, the etiquette norms, the feast ritual and the feast cases. The third is verbal description of the feast from the idea to the aftertaste state in the literature. The experiment of cultural interpretation of feast texts in A.Chekhov’s short stories and plays is presented in the article with reference to the time and space of everyday life (The Grasshop- per, The Lady with the Dog, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard). The author analyzes the semantic potential of feast texts as the source of cultural information of Che- khov’s characters spiritual endeavor, their states of mind in different everyday context. Feast texts in Chekhov’s compositions point out the transformation of narration emotional degree and forthcoming dramatic cataclysms in characters’ everyday life. Keywords: Feast aspect of cultural study, time in everyday life, space in everyday life, feast text, Anton Chekhov. ВРЕМЯ И ПРОСТРАНСТВО ПОВСЕДНЕВНОСТИ В ЗАСТОЛЬНЫХ ТЕКСТАХ А.П.

We welcome proposals for panels and individual papers as well as staged scenes and short plays from US, Canadian, and European scholars, writers and actors. Topics suggested so far include Chekhov and American Fiction (Lyudmila Parts, McGill University), Chekhov on the Pages of His Biographers (Galina Rylkova, University of Florida), and “Writing under the Influence of Chekhov” (Michelle Herman, OSU MFA program). Cinematic stagings of Chekhov (Maria Ignatieva, OSU) as well as interpretations in opera and ballet could be explored. Please contact Profs. Angela Brintlinger and Irene Masing-Delic, Ohio State University ([email protected] and [email protected]) or the NACS board, with your ideas and thoughts. The sooner the program begins to take shape, the sooner we will be able to apply for funding. 2 Editor’s Note This issue features two essays: one on “Poprygun’ia” and the other on Ivanov. Carol Apollonio (Duke University) offers a more complex reading of Chekhov’s story, an interpretation that was first explored in a paper that Carol read at the Chekhov Centennial Conference at Melikhovo in 2004. Then, John McKellor Reid, who is Principal Lecturer in Drama in the School of English and Drama of the University of the West of England, provides a perspective on Chekhov’s play that differs from the angle taken by Bradley Lewis in The Bulletin two issues ago.

  • Anton Chekhov: “The Lady with the Dog”
    33171 07 0071-0085.ps 4/26/06 12:42 PM Page 71 ANTON CHEKHOV [1860–1904] The Lady with the Dog TRANSLATED BY IVY LITVINOV, N.D. Born the son of a grocer and the grandson of a serf in Taganrog, a sea- coast town in southern Russia, Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) began writing humorous tales to support himself while studying medicine at Moscow University. In 1884 he received his medical degree and pub- lished his first collection of short stories, Tales of Melpomene. Other early collections are Motley Tales (1886), At Twilight (1887), and Stones (1888). Besides being a masterful writer of short stories, Chekhov is probably Russia’s most esteemed playwright. In 1898 the Moscow Art Theatre produced his play The Seagull, followed by Uncle Vanya in 1899, The Three Sisters in 1901, and The Cherry Orchard in 1904. Chekhov, known for his sad and subtle exploration of people’s inability to communicate as well as for his humanitarian activities, died at age 44 of tuberculosis, which he had contracted in his student days. I People were telling one another that a newcomer had been seen on the promenade — a lady with a dog. Dmitri Dmitrich Gurov had been a fort- night in Yalta, and was accustomed to its ways, and he, too, had begun to take an interest in fresh arrivals. From his seat in Vernet’s outdoor café, he caught sight of a young woman in a toque, passing along the prome- nade; she was fair and not very tall; after her trotted a white pomeranian.

Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, influence Although Anton Chekhov’s influence on F. Scott Fitzgerald was first noted by Doug Steinberg in his article “Lights from a Distance,” published in the F. Scott Fitzgerald Review (2009), Matthew J. Bruccoli’s “The Com- position and Revision of The Great Gatsby” (in his introduction to the Cambridge edition) makes no mention of the potential influence of Anton Chekhov’s “The Lady and the Dog” on The Great Gatsby. In the various collected letters of Fitzgerald, we find two references to Chekhov, both favorable and both penned after the publication of Gatsby (1925). The first occurs in a letter that Fitzgerald wrote to Maxwell Perkins in April 1926: “I’ve just finished Chekhov’s Letters on Literature. God, there’s a book” (Letters of F. Scott Fitzgerald 202). The second occurs in a letter to Zelda Fitzgerald dated May 4, 1940: “You never could plot for shocks but you might try something along the line of Gogol’s ‘The Cloak’ or Chekhov’s ‘The Darling’. They are both in the modern library’s ‘Best Russian Short Stories’ which the local Carnegie may have in stock” (Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald 340). Fitzgerald’s advice to Zelda makes amply clear that he did not find it untoward to borrow from other writers.

  • 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.
