Paper Summary:

An argumentative essay that argues that Ivan Ilych's death, in Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilych," makes him aware of how meaningless his existence has been. The paper explains that this was because he was trying to please others by his actions in life due to living under an oppressive regime of coercion and violence.

From the Paper:

"In Leo Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilych" the novella revolves around the theme of death. At the beginning of the story, Peter Ivanovich exclaims while reading The Gazette; "Gentleman, Ivan Ilych has died." A Member of the Court of Justice, Ivan has led a common life of superficiality, little recognizing that his life is empty of meaning or purpose until he is confronted with his death."
