The correct answer is C.) Human mortality is inevitable, and it is important to live an authentic life.

Indeed, Ivan thinks he has lived a rightful life, a life where he has behaved honorably and has risen in society to a position of some wealth and influence. However, his wife does not love him and is completely self-centered. His daughter shows the exact same attitude and only his son does show some compassion.

The only person he feels some kind of warmth from is, Gerasim, his peasant servant boy who keeps him company as he is lying on his deathbed. Gerasim also does not share his fear of death due to his Christian faith and his detachment from the materialism of life since he is quite destitute and death would be a liberation.

Ivan discovers through Gerasim’s example that he has lived a materialistic shallow life; a life of conformity to societal norms. He realizes that the only way a life can be authentic is to show compassion and sympathy for other human beings.

Wuthering Heights has qualities of a gothic novel, but it also differs from examples of that genre. Based on the video you saw a
kumpel [21]

The following aspects of Wuthering Heights conform to the traits of a gothic novel:

the setting of the windswept moors, with a gloomy, dark atmosphere that pervades the manor Wuthering Heights

supernatural events, such as sightings of Catherine’s ghost by Lockwood and Heathcliff

violence depicted in Lockwood’s nightmare, in which the ghost-child’s hand is rubbed against the broken windowpane until it bleeds

a sense of mystery evoked by the gloomy, brooding landscape and Heathcliff’s strange behavior

The following elements do not fit into the gothic genre:

a realistic portrayal of the class differences in nineteenth-century England, as reflected in Hindley’s behavior toward Heathcliff

the rise of the moneyed middle class as a result of the Industrial Revolution, as portrayed by Heathcliff’s transformation to a wealthy gentleman

a somewhat happy ending, with the death of Heathcliff and the marriage of the younger Catherine and Hareton, who become the owners of Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange
