Kashtanka

Style and Technique

Anton Chekhov's «Kashtanka» is a story written in a light and accessible style. The author uses vivid descriptions and detail, allowing readers to easily visualize scenes and characters. A notable feature is the narrative perspective: much of the story is told from the viewpoint of the dog Kashtanka, which allows for a deeper understanding of her emotions and perspective on the world. Literary devices such as anthropomorphism help Chekhov enhance the emotional response of readers. The structure of the story is clearly divided into several key episodes, each contributing to the development of the plot and characters.
