Ivan, who was watching the play at the Bolshoi Theatre, inadvertently sneezed, and the filth in his mouth splashed on the bald top of a bald head in the front row, and when the man looked back at him with exasperation, Ivan realized that it was the bald general of the Ministry of Communications, although he was not the leader of his department, but he still hurriedly took out a handkerchief, helped the bald general wipe the spit on his head, and apologized vigorously, saying that he did not mean it, although the bald general did not know the little clerk, but did not embarrass him, and turned around to continue watching the play.
Ivan, who was in a good mood, was completely destroyed by his own sneezing, he had no intention of watching the play again, he had been cursing himself in his heart for the sneeze he had just played, and repeatedly probed the leader of the front row to apologize, the bald general just "hmmm" to deal with him without question, which made him feel very bottomless, bottomless to the tip of his nose can feel the coolness on the soles of his feet.
Back home, Ivan told his wife about the matter without remorse, his wife regretted not letting him wear a mask to see the play after listening, the wife who was afraid of things suggested that he take a gift to visit the leader, felt that such an apology seemed more sincere, Ivan took his wife's advice, and went to the general's house with gifts that night.
The general was quite surprised by his arrival, and when he understood his intentions, he became impatient, and the general's attitude made Ivan even more frightened, and he could not help but bow his head again and again to apologize, which made the general intolerable, let people bomb him out, the story ended here, this story originated from the Russian writer Chekhov's short story "The Death of the Little Clerk",
After Ivan was blown out by the general, he returned home in despair, and from then on he fell ill and soon cried out, and Ivan's wife became a widow. Ivan speculated too much about the meaning of the leader, lived all day long worrying days, and finally depressed, which is also Chekhov's intention to reveal the tragic fate of the little people in the Tsarist Period through satirical brushstrokes, from which it is not difficult to see that what was done at that time was not easy, like my article, please pay attention to praise, thank you!
