The fish- Anton Chekhov

The fish- Anton Chekhov

Literature is not only  influence by culture but it also works as a cultural and communicative system, in which cultural phenomena is studied and analysed.

In the tale as soon as the men achieved his goal of caching the fish, the started thinking about its price in the market. In the tale when Andrey accepted to help he did it with ambitious thoughts.

The wish of money and the ambition are things that are in the society independently the cultural background. This may be evidence in this tale, in which the principal idea wasn’t save the fish, was to save the fish and sell it to get some money.

Money makes people forget about their moral, values and even culture, maybe is part of this culture to save animals, but sometimes this purpose is forgotten.

In my point of view this isn’t about the connection between culture and the tale, is about the disconnection between culture and the tale.
