Volodya (Chekhov Deep Dive)
Hardcore Literature
07/26/20 • 40 min
Let’s deep read Anton Chekhov’s short stories together, starting with my personal favourite: ‘Volodya’.
If you want the same copy that I’m working from, it’s the Constance Garnett translation from Everyman:
The format of this deep reading of ‘Volodya’ is this:
- We’ll read this great short story together, but take breaks for analysis, appreciation, savouring Chekhov’s art and craftsmanship, and we’ll endeavour together to make the poetic practical.
Timestamps for analysis breaks:
- 3:41 – “She was married.”
- 4:42 – Pure poetic love, guilt, self-hatred, women, mothers, and coming into one’s sexuality
- 6:57 – The truth of image selection (the smell of the bathhouse)
- 8:11 – Why Chekhov feels so truthful, and the power of lists
- 11:18 – Trauma, love, flirtation, cringe
- 13:45 – Shame is the essence of this story
- 16:34 – Betrayal and being talked about behind your back
- 18:15 – On not trusting people’s nature
- 21:32 – When you’re in a hole, stop digging – don’t throw your life away
- 25:35 – How Chekhov gets to the heart of human nature (story, illusion, idealisation)
- 27:12 – Purity and growing pains
- 29:48 – Freud’s Oedipal Complex discussion
- 31:39 – The rule of three
- 32:40 – Chekhov’s life – biographical reading
- 34:09 – Shame, poor familial relations, embarrassment, and the pain of memory
- 36:00 – Lying even when telling the truth
- 39:10 – That ending
