1. Study the opening paragraph of the story. Comment on the atmosphere of emotional tension it creates. Pay attention to the definite article, the personal pronoun «we», the adverbs «always» and «any more» that serve to create the atmosphere. (See: В.А. Кухаренко. Практикум по интерпретации текста. Москва, Просвещение, 1987, pp. 10-11)
2. When does the reader understand what war is referred to and what had happened to the characters? Make a list of military and medical terms.
3. None of the three men turned out what they had intended to be. What means testify to their tragic fates?
4. Comment on the meaning of the word «detached» is charged with in the story. It goes hand in hand with the oxymoron «lived with death». Speak of its function.
5. Account for the attitude of the civilians to the wounded officers. Observe the repetition of the words «cold» and «warm» and the implied meaning they carry.
6. The American officer differed from the Italian fellow-officers, who underwent machine treatment in the hospital. How is the contrast made obvious to the reader? Find cases of simile, metaphorical periphrasis, climax.
7. Study the major's attitude to the mechanotherapy. Find cases of irony.
8. Compare the major's behaviour in the first part with that in the second part of the story. What in his behaviour and speech betrayed his nervousness?
9. Why did the major come to the hospital after his wife's death? Do you think it was not the machine treatment the major came for? Justify your opinion.
10. Prove that the title of the story is ambivalent. Show that the title can be understood in the context of the whole story. How can you interpret the title after reading the story?
11. The characters have no names. How are they referred to? What does this anonymity testify to?
12. The story has an open end: the impending fates of the characters remain unknown. Is it possible to prognosticate their future? Why?
13. Analyse the story from the point of view of:
a) contrast;
b) strong position and emotional tension.
