Question

Explain the character of Lushkoff

Answer 1

In the initial part of the story Lushkoff comes across as a characterless lazy moron who wants easy life.

He begs for food because he doesn’t want to work.

Skvortsoff tries to make him work by offering him a wood chopping job.

His cook Olga cries everyday because Lushkoff never chops even a single piece of wood.

Lushkoff is a smart liar who resorts to many tricks to save himself from work. He cares little for the old cook and there is no change in his lethargical attitude.

The character of Lushkoff shines at the end of this story when he changes completely and surprises Skvortsoff.

We see a different shade of Lushkoff who is proud of his work. He shows gratitude for the old woman Olga whose tears forced him to change.
