Episode 10: Education – Chekhov’s Teacher Portrait – Part 2

In the Episode 10, Iya and Ayi play the imitation game, where Ayi tries to act as Anton P. Chekhov to draw a Teacher Portrait through the Chekhov’s stories.
Iya asks Ayi to find out what a Teacher should not be; and, then Iya wants Ayi to draw an ideal portrait of a teacher. Ayi not only plays the role of Anton Chekhov, but he also draws the portrait of the teachers.
For the reference, in the Episode 10, the following analyzed Anton P. Chekhov’s stories were used as examples to create a generalized portrait of the teacher: ‘The Tutor’, ‘The Civil Service Exam”, ‘The Thinker’, ‘The Teacher of Literature’, ‘The Schoolmaster’, ‘The House with the Mezzanine’ or “The Artist’s House”.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a Russian writer, playwright and physician, who was born in 1860 and died in 1904. He is one of those lucky authors who is not only admired, but also read. His plays are staged on stages all over the world, his works receive new life in film and television - film adaptations, radio plays, painting, music, ballet. For this, in the words of Leo Tolstoy, “Pushkin in prose” helped us to look truthfully at ourselves - which, according to Anton Pavlovich himself, is the best incentive for self-improvement of a person, in whom, as the writer sacredly believed, “everything should be beautiful”.
