Anton Chejov wrote this tale thinking in the urgency of a person for apologize due to an UNINTENCIONAL SNEEZE. The life and the racionality of the main character changed when he felt an anguish which at the end of the story kill him!
For today's comment, try to think in the COVID context and on the impact of the pandemic on contemporary culture. So, keeping this in mind, rewrite the end of the story in your OWN WORDS and find another destiny or solution to the anguish of the character!
Ok, girls. It's good, but next time try to do an individual writing exercise!
Now, It is interesting the perspective that you proposed 😊 The anguish of the main character, at the end, it's not out of proportion! And in this context, as I was thinking with Gabriela's comment, it is possible to talk about blame. The blame that Tchevyakow felt has a reason, a strong one.
