The sarcastic impact stems from the fact that the main character, according to the interlocutor and the reader, does not grasp his function — Denis Grigoryev does not understand the role of the defendant. He doesn't understand why he's guilty, but he doesn't dispute that he is.
Anton Chekov's tale A Malefactor is a very short novella. Denis Grigoryev, a "very skinny little peasant with a striped hempen shirt and tattered drawers," is taken before the court. His offence was that a railway watchman, Ivan Semyonovich Akinfov, witnessed him remove a fastening nut from the railway line. Denis Chekov describes himself as a poor, unattractive man who periodically removes nuts off the railway line and places them in the fishing line's weight. The poor peasant is innocent to the point of embracing the 'crime' without regard for the consequences, and the reader is entertained by the Q&A session between the accused and the witness.
