Answer:
is the central character in the story Vanka by Anton Chekhov. He is a nine year
old orphan. He was living in a village with his mother and grandfather. After his
mother’s death, he was sent to Moscow to apprentice under a shoe-maker named
Alyakhin. At a very tender age he became a child labour. He was deprived of all his
child rights. He did not get his primary education other than what he learned from his
play-mate Olga. Vanka has to suffer a lot at the Alyakhin’s. It has been only three
months since he reached Moscow. But his sufferings are so severe and beyond
description that made him write a letter pleading his grandpa to come and save him as
quickly as possible. Vanka is very much afraid of his master, mistress and other senior
apprentices. When he wrote the secret letter, he was watchful not to be seen by others. He
is very nostalgic about his village life, especially of the Christmas time he used to spend
with his mother, grandpa and Olga. Vanka’s child-like innocence is very visible in his
letter. Even when he wrote about his miserable life, which was worse than that of a dog,
he did not forget to write about the wonderful sights of the big town of Moscow. In a little
village boy’s eyes, shops selling fishing-hooks, guns and even butchery are sights of
surprise. The boy is very innocent and he does not know even the basic of sending a
letter. He posted the letter without proper address and postage, and he spends days in the
dreams of his grandpa’s arrival, his sole saviour!
