"The Lady with the Dog" A forbidden love

"The Lady with the Dog", written by Anton Chekhov is the story of Dmitriy Dmitrich Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna. The story begins when Gurov is taking some time off at the province of Yalta, Russia. Which is located south of Russia by the black sea. Yalta is Russia's most fashionable resort. Gurov is a prominent man close to his forties with a family waiting for him back in Moscow. Disputing his marital status, Guruv is a person who dislikes being at home and has been unfaithful to his wife for a long time already.

Anna is a young upper class woman on her twenties who spends some time in Yalta waiting for her husband to come and meet her in that city.
