  • Spouses Point Of View Of Gurov's The Lady With The Dog

    516 Words  | 3 Pages

    Spouses Point of View In the story The Lady with the Dog, the protagonist is a somewhat misogynistic married man named Dmitry Dmitrich Gurov. The story is told Dmitry’s point of view, although I believe if the story was told from his wife’s point of view the readers would like Dmitry even less as a character than they probably already do. I think if the story was told by Dmitry’s wife she would describe the pain she must feel thinking her husband is having an affair with a woman much younger than he is. In the story the wife is described as looking nearly twice as old as Dmitry, very tall, slightly shrewish, and a self-described “thinker”.

    652 Words  | 3 Pages

    Every piece of literature can be compared to others to determine which is better. But what if the two pieces being compared are the same story? Anton Chekhov, in the late 1800s, wrote the short story “The Lady with the Pet Dog” about a man who views women as an “inferior race” and constantly cheats on his wife until he finds a young lady he truly falls in love with. Joyce Carol Oates’ story, written almost 100 years later, also named “The Lady with the Pet Dog” is about a woman who cheats on her husband with a lover she truly falls in love with. Even with these two stories being very similar as much as having the same title, one can be determined as the better piece.
