"Man in a case", the brief content of which allows you to get acquainted with the work of the great writer, brings readers to the XIX century, where after hunting two friends start talking about closed and single people.

The story begins with a conversation between two friends - Ivan Ivanovich, a veterinarian, and Burkin, a gymnasium teacher. The first is surprised by the behavior of the elder's wife, from whom they stayed overnight. The fact that a woman all the time sitting at home, and the street goes only at night.

The summary "Man in a case" is a story about a teacher who led a strange way of life. He always wanted to fence himself off from everyone, he created cases and partitions between himself and the outside world. Even in the summer he wore sunglasses, in a warm coat and with an umbrella, every thing Belikov hid in a cover. He understood only the decrees, where something was forbidden, because everything is clear in them, but the instructor did not understand where something was allowed, because there are no boundaries for permissiveness, that's why it did not happen.

Belikov went to visit his colleagues, but only sat silently, and then said goodbye and left, he tried to protect everyone from danger, but those around him were afraid and called only "a man in a case." Chekhov, whose short content of work allows us to understand the character of a lonely individual, was a very good psychologist, because he revealed not only the problems of one Belikov, but of the entire society of that time.

At the moment when Belikov rolled on the steps, Varvara came, from the picture she saw, the girl burst into a loud laugh.

The summary "The Man in a Case" shows how much the teacher was afraid to even imagine that the entire city will find out about his shame. He came home, cleaned the photo of his bride and went off. Belikov died a month later. On the face of the deceased was a joyful smile, as if he had found what he was looking for - a reliable case from which he would not leave. People buried him with a pleasant feeling of liberation, as if freed from unnecessary obligations.
