How does one reconcile Gurov’s apparent misogyny with his newfound of love of Anna Sergeyevna?
Chekhov developed the character of Gurov as one who is savvy with women. He knows how to hold a conversation and win over their love. This personality trait consequently causes Gurov to have a cold blooded view of women. This misogamy works as irony when he meets Anna. Chekhov takes his time with this dynamic by taking the relationship between them slowly. Day by day. Over time it seems that Gurov begins to value women, more specifically Anna. The misogamy that was established in the beginning of the story is turned around towards the end.
I agree with your viewpoint of how Chekhov turns Gurov’s misogynistic view towards the end. He limits the interactions with Anna and takes his time with curating a relationship or acquaintance between them in a manner that makes Gurov’s entire character shift. He becomes taken with her causing his worldly view of women to change and I feel that’s Chekhov’s way of showing a still relevant depiction of how emotions and your view of something can be affected by a single person.
