Rating: 7/10


 While reading this short story, I pay attention to Gurov. I thought he is bit far from a hero, however Gurov shows characteristics of round character well. At the beginning of this story, Gurov talk about himself. He went out with or became close to women, but he had never loved them. However, after he meets Anna, he realizes true love and start to change. Even though it is true that there is a sense of rejection because of the theme of infidelity, watching the change of Gurov made the story interesting. 

 Also, one more factor that made the story interesting was description of women. It can be small detail but specific description of women in the story shows the image of women in that era.
