Tolstoi’s consciousness‚ i particular after he lost his brother (not to mention the early loss of his mother). In The Death if Ivan Ilich‚ Tolstoy explores a dying man’s review of his life‚ its meaning‚ and possible resolution. The Death of Ivan Ilych is uncomfortable as Tolstoy takes us through the life of a dying man and we feel his suffering and discontent.

"How Much Land Does a Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy‚ and Faust in "Faust‚" part 1 written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe‚ are similar and different in many ways.
