Analysis The Robbers by Anton Chekhov
I have read this short story and I enjoyed. The Robbers by Anton Chekhov.
One of my favorite stories was the story: Overseasoned that of course, includes misunderstanding in it. I’d say this is the best story of the whole book. Gleb Stirnov arrived in a station and had to go somewhere. He was advised by someone from the train to ask the peasants to bring him to his destination, as cabs and taxis were really rare. Gleb was lucky enough to get a ride from a peasent named Klim, who brought him to the woods with his old pony. Gleb was scared and suspicious of Klim, worried that Klim would bring him into the middle of the woods and murder him there. So he started making sentences, that he could kill robbers, murderers, and he had a revolver stored neatly in his pocket.
Anton Chekhov, in full Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, (born January 29 [January 17, Old Style], 1860, Tanagrog, Russia-died July 14/15 [July 1/2], 1904, Badenweiler, Germany), Russian playwright and master of the modern short story. He was a literary artist of laconic precision who probed below the surface of life, laying bare the secret motives of his characters. Chekhov’s best plays and short stories lack complex plots and neat solutions. Concentrating on apparent trivialities, they create a special kind of atmosphere, sometimes termed haunting or lyrical. Chekhov described the Russian life of his time using a deceptively simple technique devoid of obtrusive literary devices, and he is regarded as the outstanding representative of the late 19th-century Russian realist school.
One evening before christmas, Ergunov, the doctor’s assistant, was returning from the hamlet of Repin with some purchases for the hospital. The doctor had lent him his very best horses but in the middle of way, snow-storm sprang up and he lost his way. He was confused but after two hours passed. He found inn by helping of dogs. He remembered that the inn owned by Andrew Chirikov had been murdered, leaving behind him an old wife and a daughter, Liubka. Then the doctor asked to enter into the inn guided by Liunka. The first room he entered was almost empty and the air was hot and smelled of freshly scrubbed boards. At a table under the icons sat a small, thin peasant of forty with a little red beard and wearing a blue skirt. It was Kalashnikov, a hotorious Ruffian and horse thief. There the doctor also met with Merik. Merik also told his experience with Filia, a famous Circassian chieftain.
There are 15 characters in the story. The characters divide 5 type, the firts character is "Protagonist, Antagonist, Major, Minor". Kalashnikov tuned a balalaika, and thenMerik and Liubka danced. The doctor excited of it. After that Kalashnikov went away. When dancing, Merik said that he would find Liubka’s mother and her money, then he would kill her and cut Liubka’s throat with a knife and set fire to the inn. A while later, Merik went away, too. When Kalashnikov and Merik went away, the doctor was afraid that his horse lost. It was right, after Merik went away, his host lost and he was angry with Liubka. They quarreled and Liubka struck him on the head with her fist.
Next day, Ergunov’s head still ached and he heared a roaring in his ears as if he were sitting under a railway bridge with a train going over his head. He was confused how to answer the questions that would be put to him. After that he thought about the nice of free life and he wanted to live freely.A year and a half passed, the doctor long since dismissed from the hospital and without work, came out of a stsaloon in Repin. Two wagons went by on the road; the doctor saw that Andrew Chirikov’s was burning and he remembered about what happened to him at that inn one winter’s night a year and a half ago.
Writer use Omniscient point of view, because the writer know all about of the storysuch as the writer knew that Ergunov is the doctor’s assistant, then the writer knew that Ergunovwas returning from the hamlet of Repin in one evening before Christmas, etc. The second reason is the story use pronun He, She, Her, His, and They.
Indeed, this story tells about a man of frivolous character who had the reputation in the district of a windbag and a great drinker, but after all had happened to him at an inn in the winter’s night a year ago. When he went to his home, but in the middle of road there is snowstorm he cannot toward to his home. So, he and a hours is that brought by him stopover in the an inn. In the inn he saw the free people that their life are not depend on the others people, they can do what that they want without must feel is not free from the others. After that, he go out from his job and try to undergone his life by his self. From this story, we can get the point that we can make our life more interesting by our way so that we can feel our life more have meaningful.
