THE FISH - ANTON CHEKHOV

Choose one quote explaining the relationship between culture and literature

The fish by Anton Chekhov talks about some men that are trying to catch a fish, when they finally catch the fish, unfortunately the animal escape, we can find the relationship between culture and literature because in this text the author is telling us something that is part of the daily life of that time, this is the cultural aspect of the writing.

“For a minute Yefim screws up his eye at the fishermen, then he takes off his bark shoes, throws his sack off his shoulders, and takes off his shirt. He has not the patience to take off his breeches, but, making the sign of the cross, he steps into the water, holding out his thin dark arms to balance himself.” 

The fish by Anton Chekhov

For me the literature is just a legacy of culture, that’s why the literature has always been relationed with cultural aspects.
