his boots to his nephew as a last request from him, serving his family before falling ill and leaving this world (Tolstoy 49). The "old" lady, also called mother, who was one of the three people who died, is considered a wrong and unnatural death. She's not actually old, but rather middle-aged. However, she made herself sick by perpetuating her illness and how terrible life was for her (Tolstoy 47). She becomes haggard over time and has mistreated her body and overall health according to the text, and is described as the old woman of the book. Her death is not from natural causes and is not the right type of death because it could have been avoided and rather than making the effort to resist and try to regain her health, she admits her defeat, the notion of death next to his already gloomy prospects. on life allows him to lose the meaning of life (Tolstoy 49), which is the opposite of what Tolstoy promotes. Losing the meaning of life inspires bad decisions, and we begin to lose the meaning of life and become consumed by the notion of impending doom and death. Wrong and unnatural death is the result of a loss of meaning and an inability to respond to the possibility of our own death or that of others..
