Abstract

Throughout history, insanity has been a recurring theme, along with love and death, in universal literature. Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), who through his stories has been distinguished for looking not into the noble hero with fantastic abilities, but into the mediocre and unhappy man, uses madness as a metaphor from a realistic approach to denounce the precarious hospital conditions of the tsarist Russian society at the end of the 19th century, which it is said could be compared to a ward in a mental institution
