Thesis Of The Story The Lady With The Pet Dog
When approaching the two stories of The Lady with the Pet Dog by Joyce
Carol Oates and Anton Chekhov we learn of a much more comprehensive and interesting approach of how the two different writers have treated the issue of illicit affair between two married people than when each story is treated separately. Through superficial judgment, the stories seem to be opposing against each other in a diametrical way. The writing of Chekhov indicates his strict male perspective of showing his social world view of the imperial Russian society of 1899.
Oates on the other hand wrote from the perspective of a modernized educated woman of the United States of 1972. This was a time in the U.S when women were actively fighting for equality especially in social aspects which had for along time been dominated by their male counterparts and also with the aim of dismantling the power structure dominated by the male.
This paper will examine the points of similarities as well as the great differences presented between the works of by Joyce Carol Oates and Anton Chekhov in their stories The Lady with the Pet Dog. This story presents how one is able to read the stories either from a male or female perspective.The story of Chekhov is strictly written from the approach of the left-brain. His story is presented in a sequential manner which opens with Gurov coming to hear of Anna and how they met.
We are told of their first encounter and intimacy and well as what they did together during holidays. Then we are told of their separation and them going back to their normal lives. Oates on the other hand writes her story in a non linear way because we are referred back to the historical past of Anna who is already married and her past lover appears.
