Both Antigone and boadica are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.
The sentence in the above excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” which suggests that Ivan Ilyich’s wife, Praskovya Fedorovna, takes no responsibility for his illness is:
“Praskovya Fedorovna's attitude to Ivan Ilyich's illness, as she expressed it both to others and to him, was that it was his own fault and was another of the annoyances he caused her.”
From the story “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” Tolstoy wants to convey his thoughts about the types of lives. According to him, there are two types of lives, one is the artificial life and the other is the authentic life. Characters like Ivan, his wife Praskovya and Peter in the story are leading a life of artificial while Gerasim is the only one living an authentic life. Shallow relationships, materialism, and self-interests are the characteristics of an artificial life. Praskovya and Ivan's relationship is seen to be shallow and self-centered in the story.

Elisa has a full time job, it is not what she feels passionate about, and her body aches, and that supports the idea of the author that fast food industry seeks out teenage employees that end up living like adults. The author presents in this text anecdotal evidence for the main claim.
