Discussion Notes: The Bet

This week’s story:  The Bet by Anton Chekhov


Next week’s story: A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury


Rated: Clean


Gerald, Rammy, and Anais discuss “The Bet” by Anton Chekhov, a deceptively simple story. Through discussion, our hosts discover that the moral of this story is buried deep in the narration’s point-of-view, in the rambling letter of a mad man, and the hypocrisy of a greedy would-be murderer.
