One of the big ideas in the story A Slander by Anton Chekhov has to do with gossip. Gossip is something that most of us deal with in our lives all the time, but we often fail to think about its impact on the people around us or why we partake in it.
For this blog entry, consider the following questions:
- Why do you think the wedding guests do not believe Ahinyenev’s story about the kiss?
- Do you think they prefer scandal?
- Do you think this quickness to gossip is a common human trait? Why or why not?
When answering the questions, be sure to use examples from the story and your life to support your reasoning.
