Part 3, Chapter 7 de 23 · 53 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 7, Stepan Trofimovitch leaves familiar comforts on foot, struggles with fear and confusion, and accepts help from peasants before meeting Sofya Matveyevna Ulitin. Her company gives his wandering a new purpose as he proposes selling Gospels with her, but his fever and helplessness make him depend on her care.
Qué sucede
- The narrator suggests that pride, fear of being stopped, and inability to choose a destination explain Stepan Trofimovitch’s departure on foot.
- Stepan rests beside the rainy highway, fears encountering Fedka, and follows a peasant cart for safety.
- The peasants agree to carry him for half a rouble and bring him to a cottage, where food and vodka revive him.
- He buys a Gospel from Sofya Matveyevna Ulitin, while Anisim Ivanov identifies him and reassures suspicious villagers.
