the Kruetzer Sonata, A Doll House, Seagull

618 Words2 Pages

The authors of the Realism era wrote most of their stories about everyday middle-class people. Many of the authors wanted to write a story that people could relate to, and make them feel like they were actually in their story. In Leo Tolstoy’s, “The Kruetzer Sonata”, Henrik Ibsen’s “A doll house,” and Anton Chekhov’s “Seagull,” all of the authors tell about the actions and choices that each person has in their lives is what will dictate how their lives will draw out. This in very many ways is something that real everyday middle-class people could relate to, and in doing so, hopefully they could take what they have read and apply it to their lives.
In Leo Tolstoy’s “The Kreutzer Sonata,” he tells about Pózdnyshev telling a man about him killing his own wife. He described it and as a reader you can understand that this is something that will deeply set in his conscious for the rest of his life. As a younger man, Pozdnyshev went and had many sexual relations with many prostitutes and went to many different brothels. Pozdnyshev was a man that greatly loved sex, but these choices and act...

  • Tolstoy's Perspective on Women's Rights as Depicted in Anna Karenina

    813 Words  | 2 Pages

    "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," states the darkly foretelling epigraph of Leo Tolstoy's famous novel Anna Karenina. Throughout the work, the author seems torn between feminist and misogynist sympathies, leading one to wonder if the above quote is directed at the adulterous Anna--the only character in the novel who pays for her transgressions with her life. At first, Tolstoy seems to sympathize with Anna, contrasting her situation with that of her brother Stiva, who has also committed adultery but received no social chastisement. But by the end of the novel it's almost as though the author feels he has allowed Anna to get away with too much, and must teach the reader a lesson about such behavior from a woman. Anna's last mention in the novel that bears her name comes nearly 50 pages before its conclusion, when Countess Vronsky calls her "mean and low" (917).

    In this piece, the Younger family is beaten down before they even have the chance for success. Throughout the duration of the play, the family lives in a small two-bedroom apartment that is “tired” and infested with cockroaches, on the Southside of Chicago. The apartment was originally meant to be temporary as Mama and Big Walter moved in immediately after their marriage. Like many other they had the “American dream”, the dream of owning ones house; however, this dream never came to be and the family is still living in the same apartment decades later. Walter and Ruth, the next generation, also shared this very same dream in the beginning of their marriage, but like Mama and Big Walter, they were never able to make anything of it. The inability to pursue their dream and utter lack of fulfillment influence the two main characters, Ruth and Walter, differently.

    In the beginning of the novel, the narrator finds little meaning in his life. Completely disillusioned with his job, his love life, and most of all himself, the narrator summarizes his role in consumerist America in the bleakest terms: "Pull a lever. Push a button. You don't understand any of it, and then you just die" (12). In the narrator's perception, materialist priorities have "people chasing cars and clothes they don't need…jobs they hate" (149), and have led him to a point at which he realizes he is "a thirty-year old boy" (51) living in a condo he describes as "a filing cabinet for widows and young professionals" (41). Following all the steps prescribed by society-going to college, getting a job, becoming self-supportive-has led to a dead end for the narrator, prompting him to reflect, "I hated my life. I was tired and bored…[and] couldn't see any way to change things" (172).

  • The Awakening by Kate Chopin

    In conclusion, a theme which plays an important part in the novel, The Awakening, is that choices have inevitable consequences. This is connected with Realism because a big belief in Realism is that ethical choices are often the subject, character is more important than action and plot. As the reader can see, there are many examples of how realism can be connected with the main idea of this novel. The novel shows the choices the main protagonist makes and the effects they play in the novel. Also, the choices are bigger and are the basis of the novel rather than the plot.

    As Romanticism days were over, Realism started growing. In contrast to Romanticism, where they believed that everyone had their own individual freedoms, Realists believed they were not free and had no control of their fate. They didn’t believe it would benefit themselves to work harder in order to advance because they’ve accepted that in life they will live, and then they will die. This all began as the Civil War and Westward Expansion came to an end.

  • Futility of Life in The Death of Ivan Ilyich

    2735 Words  | 6 Pages

    Count Leo Tolstoy is considered Russia’s greatest novelist and one of its most influential moral philosophers. As such, he is also one of the most complex individuals for historians of literature to deal with. His early work sought to replace romanticized glory with realistic views. A good example of this is the way he often portrayed battle as an unglamorous act performed by ordinary men. After his marriage, though, Tolstoy started to reexamine his attitudes towards life, especially his moral, social, and educational beliefs (Shepherd 401). Many commentators agree that Tolstoy’s early study of the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau encouraged his rebellious attitude. This new deep-seated dissatisfaction with himself and a long frustrated search for meaning in life, however, led to the crisis Tolstoy described in his Confession and Memoirs of a Madman. In these works he formulated a doctrine to live by based on universal love, forgiveness, and simplicity (Valente 127). Simplicity and the moral importance of leading a simple life, for Tolstoy, became the only true way to live a spiritually fulfilled life. After arriving at his doctrine of universal love and simplicity, Tolstoy at first refrained from writing fiction. He even renounced much of his earlier work as too complex and not morally uplifting. Nevertheless, because of Tolstoy’s earnest commitment to the view of literary art as a means for bringing important truths to the attention of the reader, he returned to imaginative literature and wrote The Death of Ivan Ilyich to emphasize the message that simple life is best.

  • Opposites Attract

    Realism dealt with the everyday middle class and Naturalism took the darker side of things and mainly wrote about the working class people. In Mark Twain’s memoir, “Life on the Mississippi”, it is easy to see that he grew up in a middle class home, town, and even his father’s job as a justice of the peace was blandly middle class. It was easy to see through the detail that he provided the young boys playing and dreaming of bigger and better things. These boys wanted to see adventure and hoped to get out of there sleepy little town. Most or none these boys probably never made it to far from what they grew up in. Dreiser’s story, “The Lost Phoebe”, portrays a completely different side of the tracks. It’s very obvious that Henry and Phoebe Reifsneider came from the working class. They were poor even though they worked hard and could never improve their lot in life. Henry and Phoebe move in with his parents in his childhood home and I don’t believe that was a strange occurrence for that time period or that class. This story was different in that it gives the reader a sense of desolation that no matter how hard Henry and Phoebe worked, their lot in life was not going to improve.

  • Postmodernism In Of Mice And Men

    134 Words  | 1 Pages

    There were two major literary movements from realism to postmodernism in the 1900’s. Of Mice and Men (1937), by John Steinbeck, is a nice example of realism and On the Road (1957), by Jack Kerouac, is an example of postmodernism. The realism movement occurred during the Great Depression. Men became ruthless and suspicious of each other as they fought for jobs. Of Mice and Men reflects how tragic that time period was. The author John Steinbeck wrote objectively, without too much feeling and emotion. He wrote like this in order to portray that people needed to be objective in order to survive during the Great Depression. The naturalism in this novel reflected the hardships that all people had to deal with. This realism helped people

  • Crime and Punishment: A Reflection of Fyodor Dostoevsky

    1267 Words  | 3 Pages

    Crime and Punishment is one of the most well-known pieces of literature written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was written during a time of turmoil, when Dostoevsky’s wife and brother died and he was burdened with debts, which was made worse by his excessive drinking and gambling. As a result, Crime and Punishment reflects much of the author’s inner psyche, showing much of what the author thought of the world around him. In the book, Raskolnikov’s situation is not unlike Dostoevsky’s. They were both in debt and due to this they had a lot of experience with pawnbrokers. Raskolnikov did not want to rely on his family just like Dostoevsky did not have family to rely on because they had just died. However, the part of the book that reflected Dostoevsky the most was the character development of Raskolnikov, who exemplified Dostoevsky’s Slavophilic point of view, which is the belief that Russia should develop based on values based on Russia’s early history. Slavophilism is characterized by the rejection of Western European institutions such as the Roman Catholic Church and this shows itself at many points in the novel.

  • Realism In Robinson Crusoe

    1590 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gavin argues, “During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, empirical philosophy recognized a perilous disconnect between knowledge and the actual existence of things in the world” (Gavin 301-325). These ideas of knowledge, and those of the real world, were shaped by Descartes’ theory that reality is perceived by the individual and is not attached to previous ideas of reality. Unlike the novels before, realistic novels appealed to middle-class readers who wanted to read about ordinary people; they could see themselves as main characters in the story (Mario). With the influence of Descartes, novels and the genre of realism came together forming realistic novels. Realism is the attempt to depict all characteristics of human life with such attention to detail that the events seem as realistic as possible, as if readers could perhaps know the characters personally or even be them. Regarding Crusoe, he faces many realistic chall...
