OKAY SO chapter 4 was INSANE. The discovery of his disease led Ivan Ilitch into this agony and anxiety spiral and the contrast with the way he's been living his life so far is really is really amazingly told. I absolutely love how Tolstoï is narrating that part of Ilitch's life, the feeling of loneliness, of fear and the consciousness of the character of how everyone else treats him now that he's sick. 10/10
