The Death of Ivan Ilyich
The first chapter of the story, I get a sense of greed from the judges and also Ivan's wife. They all seem to be sort of excited for his death as it will result in promotions. When Peter goes to the house for the funeral, he has a sit down conversation with Ivan's wife about how she can make the most of the pension from the gov't. Lots of greediness and selfishness by others.
The secon chapter about his life portrays him like an everyday man. It flashes back with a description of his life. Ivan was very serious about his job and did not let his personal life get in the way of his work.
Ivan coems down with an illness but different doctors give him different answers as to what the illness is. Ivan knew he was dying and he became fearful of death.
