The main feature of Richard Gordon's art is the deal with the practice of medicine. The novel “Doctor in the House” is not an option. It should be mentioned that Richard Gordon is most famous for his comic nivels on a medical topic starting with the very novel “The Doctor in the House”.
In the passage under discussion the author presents the emotional atmosphere of the most important days of the students all over the world – the finals. The text itself belongs to a psychological type as it is concerned with the in-world of the main character, his feelings about all that happens around him. The atmosphere of the finals described in the passage is a tense one. Because of the authors talent we can feel this very well. The plot of the story develops slowly towards a simple and rather foreseen conclusion. The author gets to the conclusion easily through the description the students waiting, the characters hoping, the world stopping. The description is like the heartbeat in the moments of tense emotions.
The story “The Doctor in the House” is an in-depth study of the human nature. Written in the first person narration, it provokes the reader to live the finals' moments with the narrator, to reflect the reality subjectively, to accept the food for thought.
The charm of the story lies in fantastic realistic portrayal of the characters, a truthful description of the general mood.
