Paper Summary:
This paper takes a look at objectivity in this short story written by Chekhov. The writer shows how important the narrator's role is, in order for readers to get the most out of the story. In this story the narrator is particularly objective which means the reader must get involved in order to understand the plot to its fullest.
From the Paper:
"Anton Chekhov's short stories are innovative with reference to the narration that he portrays. His characters are dependent on mood of the writing and they portray certain points of view rather than action. Thus, the story "The Lady with the Pet Dog" is written from an observer s point of view who is within the framework of the protagonists. The observer is casual in his observations and makes no moral judgments as to the actions of the characters. Rather, it is a point of view presented casually to the reader."
