“The Lady with the Pet Dog”
By:
Joyce Carol Oates
I didn’t like this version quite as much as Chekhov’s. I am not totally sure why. Oates’ work seems so dark. This story had much more character development especially with Anna, but I didn’t like her as much as I did in Chekhov’s story. I got impatient with her and the feelings she had about herself. This story revealed much more about Anna’s husband. I felt sympathy for him throughout the story. I liked the lesson Dmitry learned in the first story about love more than I did what Anna learned about her self in Oate’s story.
