Много ли человеку земли нужно

The story's relentless focus on human folly feels both timeless and urgent. I'm curious about what motivated Tolstoy to explore these themes so deeply.

The conclusion left me pondering whether justice was served or if it's a commentary on inevitable human flaws. Would love to hear others' interpretations.

The cultural and historical context seems to add layers to the story's critique of materialism. Do others think the setting is essential to its impact?
