that he must find a gravestone for his uncle (Tolstoy). Everyone in Sergey’s life sees his procrastination in this case to be wrong. The cook calls it sinful not to buy a headstone, and he threatens Sergey with the cultural supernatural belief by telling Sergey that Fyodor would come back and choke him if he did not find a headstone soon (Tolstoy). It is Sergey’s duty, not only as a loved one, but because he promised Fyodor his word and the only way his uncle’s soul may rest is if he is given a…

metal bars made a sound of protest, but grudgingly opened against the weight of the two. It became much warmer once past the opening, the hillside protected the graveyard, keeping it safe from the reach of Autumn’s bite.

Story for west lit The symbolism of the world the story is told in is vivid and metaphorically viewed.
