The sack is long, dark, and torturous to go through, like Ivan's life had been. At the bottom is an "escape," which Ivan is afraid of even if he desires it. But, at the end of the sack isn't really total death, just the death of Ivan's false life. The death of Ivan's false life means a new beginning, though, Ivan has to stop clinging to his false.

You can see the black sack as a symbol of Ivan's sickness. It's painful to go through his illness. and escape is death. Bodily death certainly would put an end to Ivan's illness, and it's obvious why he would want it even if he's afraid of it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
