In many places Pushkin tells the story in a slow and patient manner, so you can experience the subtle development of the characters' psychology. But sometimes this gradual development is completely taken out, and the story becomes much less poetic.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Your Queen Is Killed. By M. DeKalb This work is a brief chronicle of a man who develops a compulsion toward gambling, for none other than a superstitious reason. Driven by greed to deception and threatening, the stories anti-hero holds, in his very own hand, a fitting allegory - The Queen of Spades.I find it interesting that it's the German that `gets it' in this short Russian moral tale.This is the story of Tomsky's grandmother, an octogenarian of whom, it is said, has the power of prognostication when it comes to 3 cards in faro. It is stated that she'd helped a man some 60 years ago.Soon invested is Herman, a `German, therefore economical' who never touches a card and doesn't play faro (a gambling game where money is placed directly on a card to win or lose). After hearing the story he becomes rather obsessed, doing anything in his power to get close to the old woman. He beguiles her niece into letting him meet the `Countess', but in his impatience disregards the plans which were advised.SPOILERS:Scaring the death out of the Countess he gets the cards from her ghost `against (it's) will' - `the tray, seven and ace in succession'. Playing the cards, with their rules, in succession night after night after night, Herman is successful 66% of the time. The only exception to this being his last, most grand attempt to use the magic card.Not realizing he didn't have the ace in his hand, but the Queen of Spades on the final night, our Countesses vengeance is drawn when the dealer remarks `Your queen is killed.' (137).
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Queen Of Spades by Alexander Sergeievitch Poushkin (Translated by H. Twitchell) By Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko When you read the masters, you know what made them masters. This was a short read, precise, and right to the point. It didn’t go beating about the bush giving us long explanations of who the main character was, his background, or whereabouts. It just took us to the core of the story, the heart of it, and landed us where it wanted, without much ado.Herman thought he was smart. Smarter than the rest of them, but what he failed to know was that greed can lead to doom. He watched for an opportunity. He observed, waited, and in the end, he learnt what he thought he was waiting for. What he didn’t learn was the rules. His eyes were only aimed at the prize. In the end, greed has a way of turning good to evil. Read the story and find out how it ended. What I can assure you is that it is a jewel of a story.
