Answer to Question 1


  • (Tolstoys story has a theme in common with Thomas Manns The Magic Mountain: the sick and the healthy are races set apart.)



Answer to Question 2


  • Ivans routine (par. 105) omits love, worship, and any profound involvement with his friends and family. His social consciousness is confined to a little chat about politics; his interest in art and science to a little chat about general topics. Ivan devotes himself only to superficial courtesies and appearancesto maintaining the semblance of friendly human relations without any deeper fondness or compassion.
