What happens to a dream deferred?Langston Hughes poem could easily apply to this Chekhov story.
A tramp who has nothing left in life but his dreams for a better life is crushed by the reality of his two escorting constables.
The constables want to believe in the tramp's dreams -- but they know better -- and so they trudge through life without the warmth of what they wished the world would be.
Who is the real prisoner?
