    LOTTERY TICKET
    The story is about a man named Ivan Dmitritch. He and his family were

    living a middle-class life and they were very well satisfied with their life until one day his

    wife asked him to check the list of lottery drawings in the newspaper..They consider what

    could be if they win lottery ticket which is bought by his wife Masha.This short story

    examines how Ivan's and his wife's reaction to the possibility of wealth is joyful; but after

    they share their dreams , it looks at how Ivan Dmitritch and his wife drive back their own

    worlds. General effect of this story is how money definitely does not buy love and how it has

    the potential to destroy it. The presentation of the theme in the '' Lottery Ticket'' by Anton

    Chekhov is based on three dramatic elements : plot , characterization and setting.

    When it is thought logically , it is clear for readers to realize that plot in the ''Lottery

    Ticket'' is very well organized.In the rising action , Ivan Dmitritch and his wife dream

    perfect life.They desire high-style living and their all thoughts are about life they want. Ivan

    says ''We spend twenty-five thousand on real property in the shape of an estate; ten thousand

    on immediate expenses, new furnishing . . . travelling . . . paying debts, and so on. . .'' . After

    these out loud dreams , Masha supports him saying '' Yes, an estate, that would be nice," .As

    it is seen, before Ivan checks the numbers ,they have already started dreaming wealthy life as

    if they have correct ticket.In falling action part ,mood changing and awareness of characters

    show themself. The husband and wife's conversation goes from joyful to serious when they

    consider details.To illustrate ,at first, Ivan and his wife smiled each other but after short time

    later they become get angry and hate each other because of their dreams.Morever, Ivan thinks

    that the ticket is hers and there are many relatives of her ; so, relatives will be handicap to

    make his dreams real.Ivan becomes aware of that and his mood changes negatively agains to

    his wife.

    Characterization in the ''Lottery Ticket'' seems ideal in terms of many proporties such

    as how the Ivan Dmitritch appears to feel about what is happening to him in the story . Stereotype
    ADNAN AKTAŞ 080090110

    is a type of flat character that is commonly found in fiction.In the '' Lottery Ticket'' , Ivan is

    stereotyped character.In the story, from the beginning of the end, Anton Chekhlov tries to

    improve Ivan's characters so that readers are convinced and feel the Ivan's emotions and

    thoughts.Furthermore, Anton Chekhlov applied stream of consciouness technique in this

    story.Ivan's head is always confused during dreaming new life and his wife.While he is

    thinking things about new life,suddenly bad things come to his mind and he considers

    negatively such as when Ivan shares his travelling idea happily, then his wife also wants to go

    abroad.At this point , Ivan becomes anxious about his wife.Because it would be not well if

    Masha goes abroad alone.Ivan thinks his society position so he doesnt like this idea of her.

    In this fiction,setting is well structured and Anton Checklov is trying to impress

    audiences through his amazing and rich vision world.Although story takes place at Ivan's

    home, Ivan can be seen at differnt places at the same time.In real, Ivan is at home and talks

    with his wife and walks around the corners of the room;but, when Ivan fantasies , sometimes

    children are playing near him.

    In conclusion ,plot ,characterization and setting are dramatic elements of the '' Lottery

    Ticket'' story.I found this story agreeable in terms of its hidden meaning ;but, it could be fine

    if there were more details and characters.
