"The Death of Ivan Ilyich" by Leo Tolstoy is a novella that explores the life and death of the titular character, Ivan Ilyich Golovin. The story begins with Ivan's colleagues reacting to news of his death with indifference and relief, setting the tone for the theme of societal conformity and superficiality. Ivan's life is marked by a pursuit of societal success and adherence to conventional norms, but he becomes increasingly disillusioned and unhappy as he realizes the emptiness of his existence. It is only in the face of his terminal illness that he begins to question the meaning of life and grapple with the existential questions that have been suppressed for so long. Ultimately, Ivan's death serves as a powerful commentary on the consequences of living a life devoid of authenticity and self-awareness.
