Although Chekhov agreed with Flaubert that literature should not draw obvious conclusions, these writers differed in revealing ways. Flaubert did in fact draw conclusions, resignedly; and so did Chekhov, but rebelliously. In contrast to Flauberts disgust at his characters, or even to Flauberts advice that one should neither love nor hate them, Chekhov told Tatiana Shchepkina-Kupernik, Love your characters—but not aloud! Thus it is that we feel that Flauberts characters are doomed, while Chekhovs are only imprisoned.
