Question

What were Akakievichs duties

Answer 1

Answer:

Akaky worked as a government clerk and a copyist in a office unknown, as the author did not mention it. He loved his work so much that he would travel many places while copying every letter. But, his work was not appreciated by others and his colleagues till he died.The Overcoat The name "Akaky Akakievich" ... Akaky's name, is therefore repetitive (meaning “Akaky, son of Akaky”) as well as seeming to refer to excrement. This only reinforces Gogol's portrayal of Akaky as a ridiculous figure in various ways, hopeless and unlucky in every respect

Answer 2

Answer:

Akaky Akakievich is a titular councillor and copying clerk in an unnamed department of the Russian Civil Service.
