Effect of the lottery ticket to Ivan and masha dmitritch​

Sagot :

"The Lottery Ticket” is a short story by Anton Chekhov about a middle-class couple that believes they have won the lottery. Ivan Dmitritch is skeptical of his wife spending money on lottery tickets and believes she is wasting money on them. However, he agrees to read the winning numbers to her. When he does, the first series of numbers matches, and they get excited before Ivan looks at the last number. They begin to daydream about how they will spend the $75,000 they won. Ivan then realizes that his wife could either abandon him or control him with the money, and he begins to get angry. His wife begins to worry that Ivan will spend all the money—which is, after all, her money. She begins to hate him for desiring her winnings. They argue, and then Ivan realizes the last number doesn’t match. The first four numbers in the series do, but since the last two do not, they win nothing. They are no longer angry at each other as their hope for winning disappears. At the end of the story, Ivan talks about how terrible his life is, and he says he is going to hang himself from a tree outside. The story shows how people’s lives and what’s important to them can quickly change with the sudden onset of wealth.
