The sisters argument is that their peasant life may be rough but "in your towns, are surrounded by temptations; to-day all may be right, but to-morrow the Evil. One may tempt your husband with cards, wine, or women, and all will go to ruin." (Tolstoy 1). This is dramatic and situational irony because despite the expectation the sister set up, we know the devil is actually in the house listening to the conversation.

There is irony when Pahom becomes a landowner.  The irony is that he says that he will not change when he becomes a landowner which sets up an expectation for the reader. However, Pahom becomes more greedy when becomes a landowner. Which leads Pahom becoming the person he swore to destroy. For instance, Pahom is fining his neighbor for the same things he was getting upset for getting fined for(page 6).

There is situational irony regarding Pahoms fate.  For instance Pahom is expecting to receive a  great amount of land for a extremely low price. Once he reaches the starting (and finishing) point in the land of the Bashkirs. Instead, Pahom collapses and dies, getting only six feet of land for his grave (page 11) There is also cosmic irony, for instance, the devil is pushing Pahoms to push for more and more land which ultimately ends with the death of Pahoms(page 13).

Pahom displays a consist theme of greed in the story. The story concerns the impact of greed on human behavior. For instance , the story paints a picture of human greed as an insatiable and blind drive which corrupts the ideal balance of a contented human existence bound by some form of equilibrium. This is shown when Pahom keeps on wanting more land and eventually dies attempting to get more land.

Pahom and his wife believe that people in the country are less susceptible to the Devil’s temptation. Pahom’s wife believes that the men of the town are constantly in danger of temptation through “cards, wine, or women” and that they are corrupted by these things “often enough.” (page 4) This is a reocurying theme because it is seen through the story with multiple temptations during Pahoms journey.

The moral message of the tale is that excessive desire can make a person lose all they have. The example is the peasant protagonist is never satisfied with how much land he has and although his ambition is at first good, it becomes too much.

Tolstoy presented owning land as evil. It is shown i this way because when Pahom starts to own land and the more land the greedier he gets. This leads to his imminent death because of his greed(page 7). This could prove how it is evil to own land because Tolstoy makes it seem that it is evil to own land because of the greed involved.
