Unveiling the Torments of the Human Soul

A Mirror to Society's Ills

Beyond its exploration of individual struggles, Misery also serves as a searing critique of Russian society during the late 19th century. Chekhov's unflinching depiction of poverty, injustice, and the dehumanizing effects of modernization paints a bleak but honest portrait of a society in crisis.

Through the eyes of his characters, Chekhov exposes the plight of the marginalized, the vulnerability of women, and the corrosive nature of greed. Misery becomes a powerful indictment of a society that has lost its compassion and sense of purpose.
