"The Chorus Girl" by Anton Chekhov portrays a dramatic encounter between a married woman and a chorus girl named Pasha. As the story unfolds, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, Pasha's adorer, is present in her summer villa. The atmosphere is oppressive due to the heat, and both characters eagerly await the respite of an evening walk. Suddenly, the doorbell rings, surprising Pasha. She expects to find the postman or one of her female friends, but instead, a young and beautiful stranger enters. Clearly distressed, the woman asks if her husband, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, is present. Pasha denies any knowledge of her husband's whereabouts, leading to a tense exchange between the two women. "The Chorus Girl" delves into themes of deception, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It highlights the power dynamics between individuals of different social statuses and explores the complex emotions that arise from such encounters. Chekhov's poignant narrative serves as a reflection on human nature and the lingering effects of choices made in moments of desperation. Read in English, unabridged.
