I apologize for my initial move, I didn't realize the variety of titles the story had when I initially moved it. However, since there is no article called "The Lady with the Dog", it seems that the "(short story)" addendum isn't necessary, and i propose that we move it to just "The Lady with the Dog".

:I don't object to that. I had originally intended to create an article about the film so I made this one (short story) to differentiate it. Probably still will do so but feel free if you want. [[User:Gr8white|Gr8white]] ([[User talk:Gr8white|talk]]) 20:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 23:21, 4 December 2010
Analysis
I'd like to add an analysis section or some such while avoiding OR. If anyone wants to jump in feel free.
Possible themes:
Comparison & contrast w/ Anna Karenina (may have drawn on)
both feature young lady named Anna, married to bureaucrat, engaged in adulterous affair
Unlike Tolstoy's work, Chekhov's doesn't moralize (even evokes empathy with adulterers) Tolstoy was "most bothered" by the story
Autobiographical nature of story Chekhov was about Gurov's age & like him had just fallen in love for first time (Olga Knipper)
Lack of resolution
"You are right in demanding that an artist approach his work consciously, but you are confusing two concepts: the solution of a problem and the correct formulation of a problem. Only the second is required of the artist" (letter to Alexei Suvorin) (are any of Chekhov's other stories similarly left unresolved?)
Chekhov's ability to use minute details to tell a larger story
use of colors
objects such as headless horseman, grey fence
the lovers' situation with respect to contemporary cultural attitudes etc.
Plenty of sources but I'm not sure just how to organize and present it. Gr8white (talk) 21:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Correct Title
I apologize for my initial move, I didn't realize the variety of titles the story had when I initially moved it. However, since there is no article called "The Lady with the Dog", it seems that the "(short story)" addendum isn't necessary, and i propose that we move it to just "The Lady with the Dog".
