The Dream

""The Dream"" is a short story written by Ivan Turgenev, a prominent Russian author of the 19th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, a young man named Alexander Ivanitch, who is haunted by a recurring dream. In this dream, he sees himself wandering through a dark forest, chased by a pack of wolves. Despite his attempts to escape, he is eventually caught and devoured by the wolves.As the story progresses, Alexander becomes increasingly obsessed with the dream, and begins to see it as a metaphor for his own life. He feels trapped and helpless, unable to break free from the constraints of society and the expectations of others. He longs for a sense of freedom and autonomy, but is constantly held back by his own fears and insecurities.Throughout the story, Turgenev explores themes of existentialism, individualism, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. He also delves into the complexities of human psychology, and the ways in which our dreams and desires can shape our perceptions of reality.Overall, ""The Dream"" is a thought-provoking and deeply introspective work of literature, which offers a powerful commentary on the human condition and the struggles we all face in our quest for self-discovery and fulfillment.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Reckless Character and Other Stories, by Ivan Turgenieff.
