Tolstoy conveys the negative aspects of Ivan Ilyich's attachment to duty, making him sick and remembering what he did during his time in health.

Explanation:

This work follows the trajectory that led to the death of Ivan Ilitch. Ivan is a judge who lived a life well inside the box: he graduated in law, progressed in positions in the jobs he held, married because he thought he was the best to do, had children and bought a house because he thought that it was his duty. While decorating his new living room, Ivan takes a slip and hits his back on a corner. Thinking it was just a light accident, he continues with his daily routines usually because that is what he should do.

The ending of the story is no secret - because the title makes it clear what the end of Ivan Ilitch will be - but instead of weakening the narrative, this allows Tolstoy to give even more realism to the characters. Each situation raises new questions, and as Ivan's illness progresses, he revises the path that has made him there. Well yes: the fall generated a disease, but that doctors do not know (or do not want) to diagnose. In fact, it matters little whether Ivan's physical problem is in the gut or kidney: his real dilemma is psychological. This is because the character then begins a long process of searching for the meaning of life, during which he realizes that few moments of his existence have had meaning. Decisions, searches, gestures, words, all the answers and needs imposed by the social environment in which he was born, made him a strong attachment to duty and forgot to enjoy good and simple moments with his family.
