Russian Prose and Drama

think about some of the characteristics of “lovers” that we discussed and defined at the beginning of the semester. The three stories we’ve read (Karamzin’s “Poor Liza,” Tolstoy’s “The Kreutzer Sonata,” and Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Dog”) are all love stories, in a way, though not necessarily uplifting ones. The most-often repeated trait of lovers in our discussion was “passionate,” so I would like you to write your response about how passion is depicted in each of the stories. You can feel free to reflect on some of the other qualities that were mentioned, such as “kind-hearted,” “optimistic,” and “idealistic.” Your paper should be 2-3 pages, double spaced, in a standard 12-point font
