        <description><![CDATA[In "The Lady with the Pet Dog," Dimitry Gurov goes to the seaside in Yalta and ends up having an extra-marital affair with a woman named Anna.  He is a bit of a playboy and has causal flings with other women, but he never gives the activities a second thought.  He escapes from his wife, by himself, so he can vacation and have a good time, and he does.
Anna, the woman he meets, is needy and feeling unloved trapped in a disaster of a marriage,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are four places total, but Moscow is in two separate scenes. The first setting is Yalta, where they first meet.  This is where their love began.  Together they go to Oreanda.  This is significant because it was so quiet and peaceful for them.  Everything was beautiful there to them:  "The sea, mountains, clouds, the open sky." When they see how late it's getting, they head back to Yalta.  Here they must part ways and go back to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dmitri was accustomed to having affairs.  But he never planned them out in detail, and he never went back to the same woman twice.  However, since his marriage was loveless, while on his vacation, he kept catching sight of Anna. For some reason, "the tempting thought of a swift, fleeting love affair, a romance with an unknown woman, whose name he did not know, suddenly took possession of him."  He wanted something new and fresh.  That was...]]></description>

Come on, he has a deep seeded hatred of women and she's a naive young woman who doesn't see any of that, convinces herself otherwise.

        <description><![CDATA[I definitely think he's experiencing a mid-life crisis in every way.  With that being said, however, there IS more to it than simply that.  Dmitry obviously lacks the emotional connection to his wife; therefore, he searches elsewhere to find it, and he finds it in Anna.  When I first read this story, I was a bit suprised that Dmitry pursued a relationship with Anna because she WAS so emotional and different than Dmitry; however, he was so...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dmitry is certainly at the right age for a mid-life crisis.  However, many men at that stage become more promiscuous.  Dmitry is, in fact, becoming less so.  I wouldn't characterize his change in behavior to the traditional &quot;mid-life crisis&quot; conflict, but rather to a coming of age.  It may have taken him half his life, but Dmitry is finally maturing.  He has spent his life distanced from his own emotions and from other people. ...]]></description>
