<em>"The Death of Ivan Ilyich"</em> is a short novel written by León Tolstoy and published in 1886.
The correct order of events in Ivan Ilyich's life as depicted in chapter 5-8 is the following:
- Ivan Ilyich tries to read a Zola novel while convincing himself that he is healing, but his pain returns worse than ever.
- Ivan Ilyich visits a specialist who tells him that his vermiform appendix is the problem.
- Ivan Ilyich tries to use the logic of Caius the mortal to try to make sense of dying but fails.
- Ivan Ilyich tries to distract himself from his death by resuming his professional duties as a judge but fails.
- Ivan Ilyich watches his family leave to go to the theater and finally gains some peace.
<span>Many Americans view the Victorian era as conventional and even prudish due to the way women are portrayed in the novels and the common themes of marriage and social classes. However, upon taking a closer look at many of the texts, such as Pride and Prejudice, the reader can see the way that women are presented is not entirely conventional. The women are shown to be dynamic characters and capable of thinking for themselves, despite society's idea that women are merely objects for betrothal. Such can be seen in the acts of characters such as Elizabeth, who wades through mud and ruins her dress in order to care of her sister--much to the displeasure of some of the older and more conventional female characters. Elizabeth also turns down marriage proposals for the sheer fact that she does not enjoy the man proposing, which was an oddity during the era of arranged marriages for economic gain. Throughout the novel, Jane Austen seems to push gender norms of her time, which is why I disagree with the idea that writings of this time were primarily conventional or even overly prudish.</span>

I hope this helps you!
