One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich
1,213 words
Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr Isaevich. One day in the
life of Ivan Denisovich, New York Press, 1963. The
novel, A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is
intentionally not sensational. It is an expose of
Stalinist labor camps, and of the Soviet system
generally, but it accomplishes this through
understatement and indirection. This work,
however, is much more than a political indictment.
Its power derives from its depiction of a man
retaining his humanity under inhumane conditions.

A tragic figure, according to the classic
definition, is a person of noble birth whose
character is flawed by a weakness that causes his
downfall. Othello, while not a prince or a king,
is descended from royalty, and proves himself
worthy as a powerful soldier and a gentle, poetic
man. While some people feel that his fatal flaw is
his jealous nature, others feel Othello proves

the notion that Othello's flaw is a jealous
passion that he cannot con...
