In "Ward No. 6," which no one should read late at night, Chekhov has given us a picture of an insane asylum, which, if the conditions there depicted are true to life, would indicate that some parts of Russia have not advanced one step since Gogol wrote "Revizor." The patients are beaten and hammered into insensibility by a brutal keeper; they live amidst intolerable filth.
Although plays do not come within the scope of this book, a word or two should be said about this great comedy; for "Revizor" exhibits clearly the double nature of the author, his genius for moral satire and his genius for pure fun.
