The huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to himself: “How the old woman is snoring! I must just see if she wants anything.” So he went into the room, and when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it. “Do I find you here, you old sinner!” said he. “I have long sought you!” Then just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did not fire.

Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice" by Julia
ANarez.
When my sisters and I cared too much about our
appearance, my mother would tell us how Trujillo's
vanity knew no bounds. How in order to appear taller,
his shoes were specially made abroad with built-in
heels that added inches to his height. How plumes for
his Napoleonic hats were purchased in Paris and
shipped in vacuum-packed boxes to the Island. How
his uniforms were trimmed with tassels and gold
epaulettes and red sashes, pinned with his medals,
crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself in
dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white gloves-
all of this in a tropical country where men wore
guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets, short-sleeved shirts
worn untucked so the body could be ventilated. My
mother could go on and on.

He mounts the wall again with whited eyes
And all his tail that isn't hair up straight

When all other creatures have gone to stall and bin,
Ought to be told to come and take him in.'

Which two parts of this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich suggest that doctors, like lawyers, are part of the superficial middle-class world of nineteenth century Russia?
He went. Everything took place as he had expected and as it always does. There was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance which implied that "if only you put yourself in our hands we will arrange everything—we know indubitably how it has to be done, always in the same way for everybody alike." It was all just as it was in the law courts. The doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person.

The doctor said that so-and-so indicated that there was so- and-so inside the patient, but if the investigation of so-and-so did not confirm this, then he must assume that and that. If he assumed that and that, then...and so on. To Ivan Ilyich only one question was important: was his case serious or not? But the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. From his point of view it was not the one under consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis. It was not a question the doctor solved brilliantly, as it seemed to Ivan Ilyich, in favour of the appendix, with the reservation that should an examination of the urine give fresh indications the matter would be reconsidered. All this was just what Ivan Ilyich had himself brilliantly accomplished a thousand times in dealing with men on trial. The doctor summed up just as brilliantly, looking over his spectacles triumphantly and even gaily at the accused. From the doctor's summing up Ivan Ilyich concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. And this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor's indifference to a matter of such importance.
