		The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a novel full of great symbolism such as that of the ladder, and a must read.
		Ivan’s literal “fall” is his injury, however his metaphorical “fall” can be seen as his falling out of his normal routine, and his realization of how shallow and unrewarding his life really has been.
		An overall theme of the selection would be “the fall.” This part of the story begins Ivan’s slow demise toward his tragic death, in both a literal fall off a ladder, and a metaphorical downfall of the human spirit.

		Early in life, Ivan decided to be a lawyer, and though at first he disliked much of what lawyers did, he later thought of it as acceptable simply because so many others though such behavior was acceptable.
		The whole time, Ivan is simply the same as any other average joe in the middle class…same income, same type of house, even the same type of furnishings.
		Ivan’s ethics and morals were all a sham…deep down, when he was ready to die, he realized that his life had been almost a waste, and asked his wife to forgive him.

	The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy
		To say that Ivan Ilych married because he fell in love with Praskovya Fedorovna and found that she sympathized with his views of life would be as incorrect as to say that he married because his social circle approved of the match.
		Ivan Ilych became irritable, reproached Happe, and quarrelled both with him and with his immediate superiors—who became colder to him and again passed him over when other appointments were made.
		Praskovya Fedorovna's attitude to Ivan Ilych's illness, as she expressed it both to others and to him, was that it was his own fault and was another of the annoyances he caused her.

		While Chapter VII mentions that Ivan's illness is in its third month, Chapter X begins with the words, "Another fortnight passed." The steadily decreasing units of time mentioned throughout the text serve to highlight the fact that time is running out for Ivan.
		Ivan's existence and struggles are shown, once again, to be of a spiritual nature, and he no longer links his recovery to physiological restoration.
		As Ivan realizes that his illness has pervaded his entire life and that the disease he suffers from is actually the manifestation of a general illness that has been growing with him since childhood, Ivan desires to move back, spiritually, to the moment of his birth.

		Ivan, the protagonist, followed a well-traveled road, adhering to "comme il faut" (as is expected) or doing what one was supposed to do in career matters, selection of clothes, choosing a wife, raising children.
		There is little to admire about this generally successful but thoughtless and selfish man. Ivan's inability to invest meaningfully in family, social, or professional relationships leads to frightening consequences when he becomes gravely ill, probably with pancreatic cancer.
		The first chapter is masterful in its presentation of responses to death by friends and family members and prepares readers for the consequences of shallowness in an unlived life.

		Ivan Ilych had been a colleague of the gentlemen present and was liked by them all.
		Besides considerations as to the possible transfers and promotions likely to result from Ivan Ilych's death, the mere fact of the death of a near acquaintance aroused, as usual, in all who heard of it the complacent feeling that, "it is he who is dead and not I."
		Each one thought or felt, "Well, he's dead but I'm alive!" But the more intimate of Ivan Ilych's acquaintances, his so-called friends, could not help thinking also that they would now have to fulfil the very tiresome demands of propriety by attending the funeral service and paying a visit of condolence to the widow.
