along with a large amount of other Russian literature at the time, these two short stories are taken from real-life experience, and therefore, anyone can relate to the characters; for example, Dostoyevsky’s ‘A Gentle Creature’ was based on a local news item that many reading the short story at the time would have been aware of. Neither marriage is presented as a simplistic one and as two short stories written by Russian

When Worlds Collide In order to describe the meaning of “When Worlds Collide” we must individually address how each of the migrating European cultures, positively or negatively interacted with the Native Americans.
