Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilych, part 2

Tolstoy's narrative technique of collapsing of space and time in The Death of Ivan Ilych artfully conveys the constraints under which Ivan operates as he first falls ill, then becomes bed-ridden. While he is limited in his movements, and little time actually passes, and the pain seems endless, the thing he most sought to avoid actually prompts something good, something he had never done before. He does some soul-searching. It isn't long before it is apparent that he is going to die. The life that he had lived before now lacks the authenticity he once believed it had, and only the presence of the peasant Gerasim, a simple Christian believer, provides him with any solace. For it is only he that lives a life that includes the inevitability of death within his worldview. In two dream-visions of a black sack, Ivan Ilych finally realizes that he had not loved others as he would be loved in return, and dies embracing a better life. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member:    / drscottmasson
