Question

Select one of the characters from “How Much Land Does a Man Need?” (Pahom, the Devil, Pahom's wife, or Pahom's sister-in-law) and describe the character type that character represents in the story. Do you think the author is preparing that character for development later in the story?

Answer 1

Pahom is an example of a dynamic character. He has a stiff outlook in life as he has been hoarding lands and is never contented, but in the end realizes that he has too much. The development of the character in the story is exemplified by how Pahom has realized when he was already about to give up on the starting point which was his destination that he was about to lose his life for all the lands he has collected, which was going to lead us to the moral of the story.
