The short story focuses on a schoolmistress who is returning home after collecting her salary from the town. The weather is terrible, and makes the journey far longer than it should be. She meets a man named Hanov, an aging man who is joyful and seemingly ignorant of the misery of life. On this journey, Marya Vassilyevna ponders her life, her happiness and the repetition of it all. When a train goes past, she sees a woman who looks much like her late mother, which fills her with joy she hasn't felt in a very long time.

In The Schoolmistress by Anton Chekhov, life is represented as meaningless, repetitive and dull. This is done by characterization and descriptive language.

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
