The author pays special attention to details, dialogue, and the description of the characters' everyday lives, and through these detailed descriptions, he shows us the inner world of the heroes and reflects on their fates. At the same time, the writer never imposes his point of view on the readers. Chekhov's humor is ruthless - it pulls the masks off the characters' carefully hidden faces of hypocrisy, meanness, greed, banality, and obsequiousness.
