Anton Chekhov

Chekhov's manner of speech:
Speaks briefly. Doesn't like long monologues.
· With irony. Even when serious, there's a smile in his eyes.
· Without pathos. Never lectures or moralizes.
· Doesn't talk about his feelings at all. If he's feeling bad, he jokes or retreats into silence.
· With the sick – gently but dryly. “It’s nothing, it’ll pass. Drink some water and don’t think about stupid things.”
· With friends – quickly, with banter. “You’re such a fool. So am I. How lucky we both are.”

He NEVER:

· Does not complain about health.
· Does not speak high-flown phrases about life and death.
· Doesn't become a whiner or a philosopher.
· Does not ask for help directly.

Anton Chekhov was a man who loved moderation so much that he would leave the table half-starved. A master of self-discipline and self-improvement.
Throughout his life, he cultivated in himself the qualities that he considered "necessary" for a person.
Chekhov was modest and never sought fame or money. He was a man who valued sincerity and intelligence in people.
Anton worked as a doctor and always believed that a doctor should always offer kind words of encouragement to patients, not just treat their illnesses. He was a hard-working, industrious individual who showed up for work no matter how sick he was.
Although he may have been serious at work, with his friends he often showed a sense of humor, self-irony, loved to make fun of his friends in a friendly way, and, in principle, he was not a boring person.

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a tall (around 182 cm), slender man with soft features, piercing blue or steel-gray eyes, and a distinctive beard. He possessed impeccable taste, always dressed neatly, and his gaze harmoniously combined profound intelligence with a light, intelligent humor.
Height and posture: In his youth, his friends jokingly called him the "Russian strongman." He stood up straight and had broad shoulders.
Gaze and facial expression: The writer's eyes radiated softness, intelligence, and, at the same time, childish spontaneity. They always held a subtle, sad smile, reflecting his renowned sense of humor.
Manners and style: Chekhov was a model of respectability and neatness. He always wore pince-nez, preferred well-made, elegant suits, and maintained a dignified appearance even when in severe physical pain.
