The Man In A Case, written by Anton Chekhov, is a short story that employs a narrative framework to explore the tension between the desire of an individual for self-emancipation and societal expectations. The protagonist, Byelikov, is presented as an isolated figure whose internal conflict between his need for freedom and the restrictions imposed upon him by societal norms serves as the primary source of tension in the story. Read in English, unabridged.
