The Death of Ivan Ilyich

We are at a turning point in the book where Ivan realizes that his life wasn't morally fulfilled, and death, success, and happiness should have been emphasized a little more.And also in turn Ivan starts to wonder whether or not he served his purpose in life, and if not what was done wrong, could it be he lived his entire life the wrong way. Through the entire book Ivan lives in a box, which …

…only he's now at the end of his road; what he also notices is that eventually they are all destined to follow some sort of path like Ivan's. I definitely fear death therefore I don't think about it. I feel death is something you must accept and prepare for it's inevitable and inescapable. I guess we all have a little of Ivan in us, the question is can we stop ourselves before we become Ivan!
