"Lady with Lapdog"by Antov Chekhov
At the beginning of the story, I found it interesting how the narrator said that Dmitry was interested in new arrivals, then comes this lady walking downt the street with her Pomerianian. That right there got me thinking that Dmitry was going to try to pursue this woman. I noticed the attitude Dmitry had toward his wife, it seemed like he had no love for her
at all.Yet I couldn't figure out why he was "afraid" of his wife. Maybe he didn't have a voice in the relationship, that could make one want to wander off to to someone who let's them have a voice. He seems like a perosn that always needs to be entertained because he's easily bored. When Dmitry figured he would try to seduce this lady, he only pursued her to get one thing. He wasn't expecting to have all the baggage that came with getting to know her. Towards the end of second part, Gurov shows his confidence that he could win her over. He kept telling himself that she had no idea of anything really and how there's something pathetic about her. This makes me think about how guyss go for women who are vulnerable and insecure. It's sad how they trick these women into believeing that they care and at the end and break their hearts. It's crazy how this stroy overall came about. This man and woman are married, yet are falling inlove or falling inlust with each other. Gurov only intention is to sleep with Anna and Anna later on feels like it's wrong. When gurov's alone without Anna he starts talking bout how he loves her, but earlier, he was no where near loving her truly.
