Abstract
This paper explains that, in Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with the Pet Dog", the writer achieves success through his mastery of the technique of characterization. The author points out that the most striking feature of the story is Gurov's metamorphosis; he moves from being a self-centered snob to a man transformed by love. The paper stresses that Chekhov's ability to establish the character of Gurov as a detestable man makes his metamorphosis even more powerful.
From the Paper
"The cause for Gurov's metamorphosis is Anna and the profound emotions he experiences after being with her. Chekhov masterfully handles Gurov's transformation in that his change is not immediate but rather gradual. Gurov does not intend to fall in love. In fact, he treats Anna and her needs as rather trivial. For example, when she seeks approval, or respect, after they sleep together, Gurov does not respond. Instead, he only eats a slice of watermelon in silence that lasts for "at least half of an hour" (200). When Anna begins to berate herself, Gurov becomes bored and irritated with her."

Abstract

The paper presents a detailed examination of each character in the story and illustrates the underlying emotions and feelings. The paper highlights the main theme of the book: the power women have over men.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the lecture, the author shows the reader that Gurov was in Yalta for couple of weeks, and was very interested in meeting new people that arrived there. One day a beautiful young woman caught his eyes. Her name was unknown, but everyone called her "The Lady with the Pet Dog." Gurov wanted to get to know her, because he knew that she was alone in Yalta, despite the fact that he was married with a daughter and two sons. He already had many affairs with other women with no remorse because his marriage was arranged by his parents, and he was not happy. Because he considered his wife of limited intelligence, narrow-minded, Gurov was intimidated by her. Gurov considered all women as "the inferior race", but he could not live without being among them. He had trouble speaking to men. He felt out of place around them. (Chekhov, 455-56)."

Abstract
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."

Abstract
Profound revelation is at the heart of Anton Chekhov?s short story, ?The Lady with the Pet Dog?. Chekhov creates a simple, yet moving story, that operates on several levels. This paper examines how Chekhov writes in a nontraditional form, infuses elements from past stories, and applies personal events to shape this story.
From the Paper
"The most compelling aspect of ?The Lady with the Pet Dog? is the transformation of Dmitry Gurov. In the beginning of the story, Gurov appears to be almost dysfunctional when it comes to personal relationships. He experiences difficulty establishing a satisfactory bond with his wife. We are told that he ?privately considered her of limited intelligence, narrow-minded, dowdy, was afraid of her, and did not like to be at home? (Chekhov 197). In fact, Gurov had been unfaithful to his wife quite often. Additionally, Gurov does not establish solid relationships outside of his marriage. Because of his infidelity, he ?almost always spoke ill of women? and refers to them as the ?inferior race? (197)."

Abstract
William Wegman's photographs are discussed in order to ask questions about surrealism and art. Wegman's most popular art works are the photographs he takes of his dogs, and in this essay, this idea is analyzed for a relation to art in terms of content, form, and photographic technique, as well as relevance to art in terms of historical relations. The author of this essay assigns Wegman's photographs to the shallow realm of entertainment. They appeal to white middle-class pet owners and have no purpose beyond that appeal.

Abstract
This literary study examines the short story "The Lady and the Pet Dog" by Anton Chekhov. By learning of the sexist and often misogynistic behavior of Gurov toward women, one can realize his love for Anna revokes his views of gender stereotypes. By understanding how women can be seen as individuals with intelligence and beauty, Gurov invariably cannot hold onto these naive gender belief systems in Chekhov's narrative. The paper explains that, in essence, the basis of Chekhov's short story creates a larger perspective relating to how Gurov transforms his gender based misogyny in his love for Anna. Gurov is a male that has a great tendency to make generalizations about women and then places them within a certain category in society.

Abstract
Anton Chekhov?s short story, entitled, ?The Lady with the Dog,? is a love story between the two main characters, Dmitri Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna. The writer looks at the struggle that they experience as they try to prevent their affair from happening, especially since they are already married and have their own respective families to live with. The writer explains that in addition to their love story, the primary focus of the story is the illustration of the development of Dmitri Gurov?s character. It shows how Dmitri?s development as the main character in the story can be illustrated through a study and analysis of his life and outlook in life before, during and after he met Anna Sergeyevna, referred to in the story as the ?lady with the dog.?
From the Paper
"The first analysis of Dmitri Gurov?s character can be seen in his life before he met Anna, and this is found in Chapter 1 of the story. Dmitri Gurov is introduced in the story as an already married man, and has one daughter and two sons from his marriage. Dmitri?s life is full of treachery and boredom, mainly because he lives with a woman whom he does not love, and has a profession which he does not want to practice (Dmitri was interested in the arts, but has been given a job at a bank instead). The following passage from the short story illustrates how Dmitri?s life can be described as ?lifeless,? as if Dmitri had no life to live at all. Chekhov tells his readers: ?In the society of men he was bored and not himself, with them he was cold and uncommunicative; but when he was in the company of women he felt free? ? but Chekhov also tells his readers that Dmitri ?? every intimacy, which at first so agreeably diversifies life and appears a light and charming adventure, inevitably grows into a regular problem of extreme intricacy, and in the long run the situation becomes unbearable.? These passages tells us that before meeting with Anna, Dmitri is a bored man who finds relief from boredom through adultery, but his relationship with other women also becomes ?unbearable? for him, since Dmitri seem to look at women as ?temporary relief? from his dreary and boring life. Thus, Dmitri Gurov is shown as an irresolute and heartless man who finds women as mere commodities to suit his need to experience fun and excitement in life, and to boost his deflated ego and pride as a result of his living with an ?unbearable? woman, his wife."

Perspectives of Love in Literature, 2005.
Analyzes and compares Anton Chekhov's short story, "The Lady with the Pet Dog," and Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love."

Abstract
In Anton Chekhov's short story, "The Lady with the Pet Dog," Dmitri Gurov, the main character, makes the transformation from a jaded, superficial womanizer to a caring lover, slowly with purpose. On the other hand, Mel McGinnis, the character who utters much of the dialogue in Raymond Carver's "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love," idealizes and longs for the type of mature love ultimately manifested in Gurov, but never actually arrives there within the course of the story. Instead, we merely see Mel talking about the need for "real" love and the desire for such love within the transience of contemporary relationships. This paper shows that Gurov's path of transformation begins in the world of serial relationships that the couples in Carver's story are so immersed in and follows a slow and variable progression to what Mel would refer to as "spiritual" or "real" love. The paper concludes that, although no form of love is absolutely perfect, the capacity of love that Gurov finally achieves can be akin to Mel's ideal view of love.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the kind of love Gurov and Anna ultimately possess is embodied in the relationship of the elderly couple in their mid-seventies who have been in an auto accident. This couple represents our traditional conception of love-lifetime monogamy-a love that lasts "until death do us part." The kind of dependence between the old couple is reflective of Anna and Gurov's ultimate love for each other; the kind of mutual, unconditional love "very close, dear people, like husband and wife, like tender friends" possessed for each other. This kind of love involves dependence, vulnerability and need, all very undesirable qualities in our contemporary world of "you do your thing and I'll do mine." As a product of contemporary society, Mel greatly desires to comprehend such an elevated form of love."

Characters in Literature.
This paper analyzes a character in Toni Morrison's "The Bluest Eye," Andre Dubus's "Killings, Anton Chekhov's "The Lady with the Pet Dog," Robert Frost's "Home Burial," and Ernest Hemingway's "Soldier's Home".

Abstract
This paper theorizes the prevailing social environment that each character lives in leads to their transition from being resolute to irresolute individuals determined to make beneficial or detrimental changes in their lives. The author points out that in one of the five literary works, "The Bluest Eye," Morrison creates the character of Pecola Breedlove, a black American in the 1940s American society, in whom the readers can see internal conflict; she is torn between accepting being a black American and aspiring to become a white American, hence her preoccupation to have the "bluest eye(s)". The paper relates that, in the last of the five works, Dmitri Gurov in "Lady with the Pet Dog" by Chekhov demonstrates a change in character for the benefit of romantic love when he finally admits to himself, for once in his life, that he needs a woman who will not only satisfy his physical needs, but also his emotional need to be understood and to feel for him as a man and partner in life.
From the Paper
"Literary works have become significant artifacts for readers because of the similarities and almost-real depictions of the lives of its characters in a particular period and event in human history. Analyses of literary works include, among others, looking into transitions or changes that occurred within a character's personality or behavior throughout the story. This conscious effort to illustrate changes in characterization is vital to the development of the story, since literary works ultimately mirror the reality that it is through human acts that humanity's fate changes over time. That is, an individual's interaction with his/her society inevitably leads to a change in his behavior, and vice versa."

The Consequences of Marriage, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the role that marriage plays in society, both past and present. The author uses three different literary works, "The Lady with the Pet Dog," "Hedda Gabler" and "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" to illustrate how marriage has maintained itself as an institution of society over the years. The main characters in these three stories demonstrate how societal pressures often lead people to marry for the wrong reasons and how loveless, or meaningless marriages often occur for different reasons. Hedda is forced to marry because she is a woman, Ilyich marries only because society expects him to take a wife and Gurov finds himself in a loveless marriage that leads him to an affair and his finding true love. The author uses these characters to send the message that marriage without thought can often have serious consequences that destroy lives.
From the Paper
"In the play Hedda Gabler, Henrik Ibsen also makes a comment on the institution of marriage in society. Just as in ?The Death of Ivan Ilyich,? marriage is a requirement of society and something people must accept. Ibsen offers his views on the implications of this by focusing on the impact on the woman in the marriage. It is noted that the woman has the least control in a marriage, the woman being seen as inferior and powerless to the man. The main character, Hedda Gabler, is aware of this, with the play being her story of how she reacts to these controls. Hedda is a female with a character that is difficult to contain. She is not the character who accepts restrictions placed upon her, but is fiercely independent. The fact that she has no choice but to accept marriage shows just how certain the role of women is in society."
