- Anton Chekhov penned "The Bet" in 1889, a curious short story about the nature of knowledge, wisdom, and community. Today, Classical Et Cetera will spend some time opening the pages of this clever little story and provide a summary of their thoughts and big takeaways.
By Russian and English standards this book is one you should definitely look into.

One of my favorite episodes you guys have done. Good discussion.
Great discussion.
I have wondered if the end of Ecclesiastes pointing to the God's judgement provides the meaning the author was looking for. If God judges our actions, they matter because they matter to God.
Is the banker locking up the note at the end significant in light of the theme of imprisonment?
From Paul: I think it is significant because it shows he is not embracing the lawyer's wisdom that the human things are lesser. He is continuing to guard and protect himself and doesn't want to be shown as a fool. In that sense I suppose you could say that he is imprisoning himself. Good point!
It was kind of like killing the voice or memory of the lawyer. It was a pretty depressing end.
Martin gets no slack.
