#1.Anton Chekhov’s “The Bet” is a story about ideas, but it is also a gripping tale that grabs the reader’s attention at the beginning and keeps it through the end. What is the main message, or theme, of the story? What does Chekhov use to bring out that theme? When proving the theme, discuss at least two of the following literary devices: characterization, plot, point of view, suspense, foreshadowing, flashback, irony.
#2 All of the selections in this unit address the concept of self-knowledge in some way. Pick two of the four selections—“The Day I Got Lost,” “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” “The Bet,” and “Hamadi”—and explain how they explore the ways in which characters either develop self-knowledge or their knowledge of themselves changes.
In his final lecture to his mother, Julian says: “You needn’t act as if the world had come to an end…because it hasn’t. From now on you’ve got to live in a new world and face a few realities for a change.” Julian’s quotation is ironic because his words actually applies more to Julian himself than to his mother. How does the quotation really apply to Julian at the end of the story?
