Who was the 'pseudo-teacher' and why did he sit on a log? Ans:-The 'pseudo-teacher' was the beggar Lushkoff. He sat on a log, lost in his thought as his frail health did not allow him to undertake the hard task of chopping wood but he could not get away from it either.

Answer 2

In Anton Chekhov's story, "The Beggar", the character named Lushkoff was the ‘pseudo teacher’.

• Lushkoff portrays a frail character who used to lie to gain sympathy and beg for money from people.
• He was called the 'pseudo teacher' because once he came across Sergei who was an advocate by profession and lied to him about being a teacher. In order to evoke sympathy, he also pretends that he lost the job.
