I will pay for the following article The Cloak by Nikolai Gogol. The work is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Akaky's worn out old cloak is the objective correlative of his identity, his belief - his being. It is dull, cold, and easily permeable by the North wind (symbolizing change) - it is weak and lacks assertion. His life, his everyday life under that coat is drab and each day is same as the day before or the next day to come. The narrator ruthlessly describes him as "a horse to a mill", who could not stand up to anything challenging. The narrator describes a certain time in his life when certain officer desirous of rewarding him and paying "attention" to him asked him to do a little more than copying, i.e. change heading and some words in an already concluded report! Akaky failed the test and the author writes, "After that they let him copy on forever" (Gogol 4). Thus, the narrator describes him as a man who "indulged in no kind of diversion" and he was "content with his lot" (Gogol 5). He had a vegetative existence and trivialized him further by saying, "Having written to his hearts content, he lay down to sleep, smiling at the thoughtof what God might send him to copy on the morrow.
