Gurov: Womanizer or Hopeless Romantic?
Dimitri Dmitritch Gurov is Anton Chekhov’s main character in “The Lady with the Dog.” Chekhov goes to great lengths unfolding Gurov’s change in character from an experienced and emotionless playboy to a hopeless romantic. When he meets Anna, the lady with the dog, he is doing so with selfish intentions. In time, Anna turns Gurov from a man of meaningless hookups to a man searching for his first true love, someone who ultimately ends up being enchanted by the innocent romanticism of his young lady friend.
In the beginning of the story, the narrator makes no mistake in describing the laid-back womanizer character of Gurov.
