Question

Sketch the character Gerasim

Answer 1

See the perfect answer :-

• A young man from a peasant family, Gerasim is one of Ivan Ilyich’s servants.
• Unlike everyone else in the house, Gerasim is more than willing to empathize with Ivan because he isn’t afraid to try to understand what it must be like to die.
• While the other servants, along with Praskovya and Liza, are all unable to sympathize with Ivan because they don’t truly want to understand what it must be like to be in his position, Gerasim doesn’t mind because he accepts that everyone will someday face a similar fate.
• In turn, he becomes Ivan’s favorite caretaker, often staying up all night and letting Ivan rest his legs on his shoulders, elevating them in such a way that alleviates the dying man’s pain.
• A gentle and kind man, Gerasim is quite wise, reminding Pyotr Ivanovich at Ivan’s funeral that death will come for everyone someday$.$
