Vanka By Anton Chekhov
“Vanka” By Anton Chekhov The setting of the story puts Vanka in a time of misery and almost slavery conditions. ... Although Vanka’s writing may look childish, and his own analysis of past memories and present conditions are surrounded by a halo of fantasy, the way the story is presented will reflect more the thoughts of an older child. ... Anton Chekhov, is probably represented by the setting itself, his memories of a brutal time of scarce resources and limitations, a time of dubious morality and trickery. ... Vanka’s master and his wife attends Mass after harassing him constantly; but Vanka fails to connect the dots, he is not able of such deductions.
