This research paper: A 6 page essay that contrasts and compares Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground and Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilych. The writer argues that in these works one finds characters that dramatically illustrate how the whole thrust of a life can go awry. While these protagonists are very different, they also share similarities that point to the common theme that is shared by both works. Each of these men is clearly spiritually lost and emotionally immature. This cripples both men in regards to any fulfilling relationships or experience of true intimacy. However, while Dostoyevsky's narrative ends with the Underground Man retreating from life and failing to learn from his experience, Ivan Ilych finds redemption at literally the last moment of life, which makes his death meaningful. No additional sources cited.
