Chekhov watches his characters closely without lecturing them, and he lets small details carry much of the weight. Many of the stories end on a quiet note of disappointment, yet they also show how tenderness and hope survive in unlikely places. The result is a portrait of provincial society in which the emotional lives of its people come into sharp focus.
