Answer to Question 1


  • See paragraph 27, especially the statement that the corpses expression contains a reproach or a warning for the living.



Answer to Question 2


  • The first thought of each of the gentlemen in the room was of the effect this death might have on the transfer or promotion of themselves or their friends (par. 5). Then, after these selfish hopes, they thought of their boring duties: to attend the funeral, to visit Ivans widow (par. 18). Tolstoy suggests Ivan had no true friends but only so-called friends (par. 18).
