A review by itslorei
The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin
3.0
The intriguing style of storytelling is this story's strength. It really did utilize it well from the beginning, the middle, up until the end. There's power in something unknown, and Alexander really played these two well.
I also noticed the social commentary here on society, which even more highlights the parts where Hernán and the Countess scene, which, for me, was quite something.
The presentation of human nature as falling into something like greed and obsession in this story is something that I find here quite weak or, somehow, not enough for me to be awestruck. The same goes with the descent of madness or the supernatural elements here. However, it was fascinating to me as well.
The three, seven, ace, and queen of spades, was also fascinating to me. I really liked the symbolism there.
I've envisioned the vision here, but the presentation to me or the overall construction of the story is lacking.
