Answer to Question 1


  • Ivan performs his official duties with exactitude and an incorruptible honesty (par. 61). He is decorous and rule-abiding, wields power objectively and does not abuse it (par. 65). As he succeeds in the world, his marriage deteriorates (par. 82), and it improves only when Ivan and his wife see little of each other (par. 98).



Answer to Question 2


  • Ivan seems a worldly, sensual man, able to minimize his feelings of guilt (par. 59). His life centers in the official world, and he believes it should flow agreeably and decorously (par. 82). His official pleasures lay in the gratification of his pride; his social pleasures lay in the gratification of his vanity (par. 108).
