In the novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Leo Tolstoy displays the introspection on the metaphysical meaning of life as the protagonist Ivan Ilyich becomes mentally preoccupied with his impending death. By reversing the chronology of death and encapsulating moral messages centering around the protagonist’s dying experience, Tolstoy emphasizes the importance of confronting death to achieve a meaningful life free of societal ideals. Despite criticizing a society permeated with self-deception and hypocrisies, the writer portrays possibilities of redeeming oneself to live a meaningful life nonetheless. Thus, Tolstoy advocates for authentic human relationships through the juxtaposition of Gerasim’s truthfulness with proprieties followed by others.

Notes from Underground (1864) by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) is presented as a collection of excerpts from the memoirs, and existentialist ramblings of an un-named narrator.

Creation vs evolution, pro-life vs pro-choice, democrat vs republican, and pro-death penalty vs anti-death penalty are just a few of the topics that most people try to avoid in polite conversation. Fyodor Dostoevsky 's, Crime and Punishment, also raises a debate, but not in the same sense that other topics do. At the end of the novel, Dostoevsky includes an Epilogue. This Epilogue, though less than twenty pages long, sparks a debate about whether or not it is necessary. Like other arguments, there are two sides to this debate. There are those that view the Epilogue as anti-climactic and believe that the novel would have been better off without it. On the other hand, there are those that feel
