Throughout the story “Master and Man” by Leo Tolstoy, it made me think about many things and reflect. First of all, the story talks about a relationship between a master and a worker, which made me think about how they relate and contrast in many ways. Also, the different perspective of the world that each of them has, and the different reactions for different things. The story made me reflect about how we do need people who serve and not only rich people because if there was only rich poeople in the world, who would do the works that no one else wants to? and poor people would not do those works if they didn’t have to. This thoughts made me feel intrigated by all things we don’t normally think about and how things we think should be solved are actually necessary. The story in general almost always made me feel reflective because the author’s meaning can be different from how the readers interpret it. The book emphasised a lot the thoughts of the characters, and this could be because the author wanted to compare and contrast the thoughts of both of them and let the readers see how one of them for example thinks about his family when he thinks he is going to die, and how the other one only thinks about his money and doesn’t even care about his family. At the end, when Vasili sacrifices for Nikita, the change the character shows in that moment is an example of how someone can be completely different when other people’s life is in their hands, or in life-death situations in general. By doing this, the author maybe wanted to show the evolution of Vasili’s character and how at the end of the day, we can all change. He could have meant other things that I dont understand, but I feel that the message of this story is personal and different for everybody.
