This story that we read is about two characters, Vasili and Nikita, the Master and Man. Vasili is the “Master” and Nikita is the “Man”, supposedly. I think out was a very good story, it gives perspective of two different type of people. A narcissistic man who only cared about himself and an alcoholic who only cared about other people. For example how Vasili did not care or acknowledge Nikita’s feelings or thoughts, but at the same time; Vasili was willing to sacrifice his own life for him to live.
It shows that Vasili is a good person deep down or not, but he has trouble expressing it; or maybe he was just in shock in the situation. I think this story is quite realistic in most parts, especially the personalities of the characters and the setting the story was in. I think Nikita sounds like a very sweet and loyal man, even tho he’s a pushover; he has many good traits, he’s loyal, respectful and does what he’s told. Although Vasili comes off as a very negative, bossy persona, I feel he’s misunderstood.
