Abstract
Chekhov, hailed as a master of short stories, has a unique perspective and taste in literary creation. Chameleon precisely depicts the dominance of the tsarist era with delicate nuanced and spicy touches. From the hero’s fickle conversations, readers can catch a glimpse of flattery with bully pro-style social atmosphere at the time. This paper, based on the textual context, explores Chekhov's unique and brilliant writing skills and the restriction of characters' discourse.
