2. How does Chekhov use interior monologue to

show the changes Yevgeny goes through as he

tries to think of ways to discipline his son?

Highlight textual evidence from the story to

explain your answer.

The answer is through Yevgeny's dramatic change in response.

Textual evidence points to the fact that Yevgeny is not a very attentive father, and not very involved in his son's life. Initially, his actions seems not concerned that his son is smoking, in response to this information of his son even made him laugh. Yevgeny is a prosecutor of the circuit of court, someone who carries out legal proceedings against a person accused of  a crime. it makes sense to thimk about how much of Yevgeny's legal background will affect the way he handles this problem of his son (Seryozha).
