  • Randall Jarrell seems right in his observation that “we terribly identify ourselves with” Ivan Ilych. “Ivan Ilych’s life has been a conventional falsehood; The Death of Ivan Ilych is the story of how he is tortured into the truth. No matter how alien they may have seemed to him to begin with, in the end the reader can dissociate neither from the falsehood, the torture, nor the truth: he is Ivan Ilych.”
