summary of An upheaval

In An Upheaval by Anton Chekhov, the writer describes that Mashenka goes back to the house and finds maid-servants are being searched by mistress under a vile way. With confusion, she goes back to her room and finds the mistress is rummaging in her room, which she thinks is an insult to her. But Mashenka still goes for the dinner, with feeling of resentment. After the dinner, she feels wretched and stifled and is going to leave. While she is packing, Nikolay Sergeitch, the master comes in and say that he has stolen the brooch in order to let her stay. But she leaves finally.

        The point of view of the fiction is in Mashenka’s view and it talks about things in a day. There are three main characters, including young girl, Mashenka, a little man with a flabby face and a bald head, Nikolay Sergeitch, and a fat, uncouth woman, Fedosya Vassllyevna, with thick black eyebrows, a faintly perceptible moustache and red hands. The author uses metaphor method to show us that the aristocratic rank is rude and arrogant, whereas the paupers is kind.

And if I were Mashenka, I will also leave the house, because I can not bear the rude and unreasonable suspect.
