Answers
Explanation:
If we start just before the break of dawn, Pahom actually begins with a moment of horror. The night before most of the story takes place, he had a dream which prognosticated his own death. However, he dismisses the dream quickly enough, eager to claim his land.
From here, the Bashkirs take him out to the steppes, and Pahom is quickly taken hold of by avarice. He is mainly interested in maximizing the amount of land he can claim. All the while, the day is becoming warmer and he is beginning to tire, but he has become too caught up in his hunger for land to begin the journey back. In the end he overreaches, and he comes to realize this, for he still needs to complete a return circuit before the sun sets. However, even here, his initial worry is about failing the Bashkir's condition and losing the land he had claimed. As he races back, Pahom can feel time running out on him. By that point, he has become fully cognizant of his folly, and he spurs himself onwards, even as the effort is killing him. In the end, he returns to the Bashkirs, only to die in the process.
