Chekhov

Although Chekhov uses a third person narration, how does he seem more involved with Dmitry’s character?

A good deal of attention is focused on Dimitry. being that he is the main character, the narrator really delves into his mind, thoughts and emotions. A lot of description is used to describe him and his view toward women, even right down to his mysogony and inflated ego when it comes to women. This is interesting because we do not have as much omniscience into the lady's mind, background, immediate thoughts and such, at least not near what we are given for Dimitry. I really liked the descriptive words, and the amount of words used to describe. It was not lacking in painting a solid picture of the events, and the characters.
