The setting in cemetery path was portrayed in a dark night where it was set in a time where people lived in villages and there was a saloon/bar (Late on winter's night, when bitter wind and snow beat
...against the saloon, the customers took up the familiar mockery) where Ivan would walk to and also a cemetery (Ivan never crossed the cemetery to get to his lonely shack on the other side) where the important part of Ivan’s bet was set. Also the setting of the story also helped to give the horror and the gothic like setting to engage the reader to read more and to see what happens at the end.
This makes it interesting and revulsion to the overall story. Characterization The character that I have chosen was Ivan. Ivan was a timid man and little(Ivan was a timid little man-so timid that the villagers called him "Pigeon" or mocked him with the title "Ivan the Terrible) and also he’s scared at the start but then shows courage and strength ) at the
end of the story. ("Yes, lieutenant, I'll cross the cemetery. " , Ivan pushed the cemetery gate open. He walked fast. "Earth, is just earth... ike any other earth. "
But the darkness was a massive dread). The two things that Ivan did to help me form my opinion were that first I liked it how he showed strength and courage by accepting to cross the cemetery this showed that Ivan was not scared and showing the village that was not a timid man (He recognized the large tomb. He must have sobbed--that was drowned in the wind. And he kneeled, cold and terrified, and drove the sword into the hard ground. With his fist, he beat it down to the hilt.
It was done. The cemetery--the challenge... five gold rubles. ) Also the second thing is that I disliked how he never really much cared about what the village thought of him or what they called him it showed that Ivan didn’t care and just walked away Theme The theme of cemetery path is that don’t give in to peer pressure. How this theme is shown throughout the story is that Ivan just gave in and accepts it and also he just walked away from the problems with the village. (You are a pigeon, Ivan.
You'll walk all around the cemetery in this cold-but you dare not cross the cemetery. ) The author also used different language techniques to show he gave in (“He’s a timid man. All of the villagers called Ivan the Terrible. (Verbal irony) these were one of the techniques that the author used to describe the main theme. I think that Leonard Q.
Ross purpose was that gives this story a title that puts a chill in your spine and to also make you want read more to find out what happens to Ivan.
