In addition to the most famous novels, Leo Tolstoy wrote a wonderful story, the plot and main events of which are easy to apply in the composition. Arguments from this work will help to reveal many topics. Being healthy, the hero did not notice that society is full of hypocrisy and lies. And only when caught between life and death, he is faced with reality. He begins to reflect on his fate and, unexpectedly for himself, realizes that he has never been happy, and that what surrounds him is disgusting to him. Well, more about this will tell our very brief contents of the book for the reader's diary.
(350 words) Between the trial, colleagues of Ivan Ilyich learn from the newspaper about his death. A conversation ensued between the comrades. They discussed who could take the place of the deceased. And no one kindly remembered a good man who lived honestly and did nothing wrong to anyone. His wife, Praskovya Fedorovna, thought only of how much money she would receive in compensation for the death of her husband.
Ivan Ilyich was a member of the Trial Chamber. Everything in his life seemed to be fine. The beautiful wife he married, because in society his choice was approved, two beautiful children and an apartment, which he began to equip. On that fateful day, the hero was engaged in repairs. He was so keen on business that he accidentally stumbled and fell from a ladder. Then he felt that something was sick in his side. However, the man did not betray this value. But exactly from that moment Ivan Ilyich began to fade. He had unbearable pains, he could not eat. Doctors could not say exactly what was wrong with him. Then the patient remembered that he had hit exactly with that side, which now hurts. The doctor prescribed pills that did not help at all.
Lying in bed, Ivan Ilyich began to reflect on his life. He would never have thought that the end would come so soon. It seemed to him that he would live forever, and death for others, and he would never be touched. It turned out, no. He foresaw her.
Ivan Ilyich was a burden to his wife and daughter. They did not want to hear anything about his illness, and only a faithful servant Gerasim looked after him.
The last days of life were unbearable for Ivan Ilyich. Suddenly, he realized that his whole life was "not right." He hated himself for not living at all as he would have liked. He was disgusted with everything: his hated wife, and his current situation. He was embarrassed: he prevents others from living. Ivan Ilyich lies in his bed and moans without ceasing, annoying the household.
When the family came to say goodbye to him, he felt sorry for them all. He asked them to leave the room because he could not look at the tears. Ivan Ilyich fought in agony for another two hours, and then said: “Death is over. She is no more. ” And he died.
