Answer to Question 1


  • It is revealed (in paragraph 350) that although Ivans life has been futile, he still can set it right. He whose understanding mattered (par. 351) now understands him. Able to love at last, Ivan feels sorry not for himself but for his wife and son. When at last he is willing to relinquish the life to which he has desperately clung, death holds no fear.



Answer to Question 2


  • By his reluctance to acknowledge that his life has all not been the right thing (as he finally admits in paragraph 348), Ivan is hindered in his advance toward enlightenment.
