I enjoyed this short story mainly because of its objective towards the reader. I feel that the authors main point of this story is very direct. Pahom constantly wants more land in his life and while chasing this land he loses sight of the important things in life such as love and family. He forgets that money does not create happiness and eventually he learns this the hard way. I think that it is ironic that the younger sister talks about how peasants dont need much and how her elder sister is surrounded by evils throughout her days and yet her husband is the one that falls into this evil chase of money.
In the book Pahom quotes, "An hour to suffer, a life time to live" not realizing that he has drove himself so hard for the land that he wishes to make him money resulting in his death. No land was ever enough for him.
