Character Development


Description

In this first lesson of the unit, students begin their analysis of the short story “The Overcoat” from The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol by Nikolai Gogol. Students read and analyze pages 394–399 of “The Overcoat”, in which Gogol introduces the setting and the character Akaky Akakievich. Student analysis focuses on the development of Akaky Akakievich’s character, paying particular attention to Akaky Akakievich’s physical description, explanations of his work, and the way in which he relates to the world around him.
