... specific historical representation. As a result of the analysis, the veiled historical content of the story was explicated, thanks to which it can be considered as a specific representation of historical reality, close to oneiric representation: historical characters and events in it undergo a process of symbolization reminiscent of dream work, according to Freud, and the historical itself is reduced to the “family”. Although such a reduction excludes history as such, it provides great opportunities ...

... Sartre, as well as the Christian understanding of fear articulated in the Patristic tradition. Applying a cognitive approach to existential fear in Chekhov’s narrative raises the problem of the destruction of the ontological foundations underlying the characters’ traditional cognitive architecture.
