The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Tostoy

Too long a story. Too many repetition of Ilyichi’s agony, fear, and hope.

The story exhausts the readers as much as Ilyichi. At the end of the story Ilyichi seems to become demented. He has lost clear judgement of “right” and “wrong.”

He says, “Where are you, pain?” and “And death? Where is it?” He seems to have overcome the agony, but this may have been caused by his brain’s malfunction.
