The Death of Ivan Ilyich: The Rebirth of Ivan Ilyich
Ivan spent almost forty five years persistently building a seemingly perfect life that is in tune with the Russian bourgeoisie, only to realize three months before his death, the perfect life does not exist. Ivan's incurable illness forces him to face the truth for the first time in his life. He became conscious of the fact the he lived a very faux lifestyle, and he resents his wife for continuing to hide behind shallow facades of aristocracy. During chapter nine, Ivan revisits his past, in an almost Christmas Carol fashion, and finds that, "all those best moments of his pleasant life seemed now not at all as they had seemed then" (Tolstoy,84). His growing affluence, materialism, and lack of emotional ability carved him into a hollow man, and as he sits on his death he cannot even recognize the man he become. Ivan's inner struggles about the summary of his life is the reason he fears death so intensely and will not be thrown into the black sack yet. Ironically as Ivan is physically dying, his spiritual or emotional being has resurfaced, and Ivan is reborn in a metaphysical sense. I also really appreciate Antonia's image of death in her post. She closes the gap between the idea of death and the actual reality that we are all going to die, much like Tolstoy. Tolstoy personifies death and pain in Ivan's life to show the real effects of dying without fulfilling a purpose.
Ivan's relationship with Gerasim also clearly expresses the dichotomy between the upper class and peasants. During Ivan's last three months, Gerasim tends to his health and well-being, while showing Ivan the utmost respect and dignity. Unlike his family and the expensive doctors, Gerasim acknowledges that Ivan is dying, and even proclaims that, "We'll all die" (Tolstoy, 77). Gerasim's lack of fear and straightforwardness about death stems from his social background. Because Gerasim places a higher value on human interactions and mutual relationships than job titles and material wealth, he has had a more fulfilling life than Ivan. By creating the contrast between characters of different socioeconomic backgrounds, Tolstoy asserts the premise that peasants have more meaningful lives without the strain of power and materialism. David brings up a great point that Ivan is barely surviving even with all his wealth and privilege. Tolstoy romanticizes being poor throughout the novel, which I find very problematic. The character development of Gerasim is very unilateral. Although Gerasim does appear to be happy in life, he most likely faces many problems that are much larger than Ivan's dilemmas.
My thoughts on Sections I & II
The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a commentary on the power and ethical code associated with being a member of the Russian Bourgeoisie during the 19th century. Tolstoy also addresses problems within Ivan’s marriage that are similar to marital problems in today’s society.
The reader can begin to infer that Ivan’s associates are power hungry as early as the third paragraph, while each of his colleagues think about the promotions and transfers of power, as a result of his death. The structure of official positions and figurehead posts also displays the elitists need to sustain power. Power is clearly important to Ivan. His source of power and confidence stems from his work, more specifically his ability to, “destroy[ing] any man he wanted to destroy” (Tolstoy, 53.) Antonia brings up a good point that all his colleagues only attend his funeral because they feel obligated to keep up appearances. I think that Ivan’s personality and line of work is the reason he has so many so-called friends during his lifetime. Ivan’s friends appreciate the idea of him and his status, so when he dies it seems his closest comrades do not even know the real Ivan. After reading David’s post, I believe Ivan’s death is very similar to how hundreds of people gathered at Gatsby’s estate for social events and would boast to know the mysterious Gatsby; however few came to his funeral and of those few Nick was the only character that seemed to truly know Gatsby as a person.
While Ivan is very dominant in his career and social life, he is unable to exude the same amount of control in his marriage because his wife is a strong character. The lack of control in his marriage causes Ivan to create a separate spaces for his work and personal life, as his relationship with Praskovya is further strained. The loss of three children, contrasting opinions on their children’s education, as well as the locations of Ivan’s positions cause many quarrels in his marriage. Tolstoy writes, “There remained only rare periods of amorousness that came over the spouses, but they did not last long. These were islands that they would temporarily, but then they would put out again to the sea of concealed enmity that expressed itself in estrangement from each other.” (Tolstoy, 53.). This toxic cycle is present inside many relationships, while couples create a facade of happiness for external parties.

#Repost @wwfuinternetwork ・・・ WWE legend "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, who was diagnosed with liver disease a decade ago, has passed away at the age of 74. Ivan debuted as the villainous "Russian Bear" at the WWWF in 1969 and started a rivalry with then-World Champion Bruno Sammartino.
