Homework

Hi Everyone,

Wonderful posts on "The Diary of a Madman"!

Homework tonight: read Gogol's "Nevsky Prospect," through p. 68 in the reader.
Homework due Friday: finish reading "Nevsky Prospect."

You only have to post once for this story. Please post your comment before Friday's class.

The question:

The stories we are reading are from a collection of short stories called Petersburg Tales. The portrayal of the city of Saint Petersburg is an important aspect of all of these stories. "Nevsky Prospect" is titled after one of the main streets in Saint Petersburg. How is the city portrayed in the story? What kind of atmosphere do the descriptions of the city create?

See you tomorrow,
Jane
