A Joke That Is Not So Funny
"Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add
to what he's been given. But up to now he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests
keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined and the
land grows poorer and uglier every day" (Russell). From this quote from Anton
Chekhov, one can tell he viewed life in a very different way. Chekhov enjoyed writing
stories about reality. He often wrote about tragic, true stories that happened in his own
life. Chekhov liked to write stories that were very sad and depressing but he just wanted
to write about how he viewed life. The story, "A Joke," can be a true story in many lives,
possibly even Anton Chekhov's life (kirjasto).
The story "A Joke" is about a girl named Nadyzhda Petrovna and a guy whose
name is not mentioned. The story begins when the two go sledding down a big hill.
Nadya is very scared to go down but after the first time she wants to go again and
again. They continue to go down the big hill more and more, day after day. Every time
they would go down the hill, the guy would always say, "I love you, Nadya!" Towards
the end of the story, Nadya was at the top of the hill looking for the guy she always went
down with but she could not find him. She went down the hill by herself and was very
shaken up and faint at the bottom. In the end, Nadya got married to another man and had
three children. The guy who once said the precious words "I love you" to her, looked
back on the times he had with Nadya and wondered what his motives were in that "joke"
(imagi-nation).
