THE DUEL

IP OL Dae pike os —

Anton Chekhov

The plot centres around Laevsky, who is living in a small seaside
town in the Caucasus after running away with another man's wife,
Nadyezhda Fyodorovna, amid dreams of starting a new life. The
dreams have come to nothing as Laevsky idles away his life drinking
and playing cards, and Nadyezhda begins to have other affairs.
Laevsky's scheme to run away again, this time without his mistress,
brings him into conflict with the rationalist Von Koren, who believes
in Darwinian principles of natural selection and extinction of the
weak and useless. Matters come to a head when an outburst from
Laevsky leads to a duel. Von Koren is determined to teach Laevksy a
lesson.
