Anton Chekhov’S “Home” And “A Visit To Friends”: The Dichotomy Between The Personal And The Professional, Or The Lawyer Subjectified And Objectified, James Downing Redwood

James Downing Redwood

The busy life of the practicing attorney is proverbial and leaves but little room and time for the demands of home. Further, it is equally well known that the lawyer’s training emphasizes the objective over the subjective, the rational and logical over the emotional and personal. This article analyzes two short stories by the renowned Russian author Anton Chekhov, both of which give the reader a practicing lawyer attempting to reconcile the demands of the office with those of the home. In one story the attorney harmonizes the two by becoming more personal and “subjectified,” while in the other work …
