The death of this ordinary man leads us to an ultimate question: How should a person live? Does Tolstoy's story suggest an answer? Are there any characters or ways of life which seem capable of affirming the meaning and value of life in the face of death?

I was told by many people that this is a great story by Leo Tolstoy. I've read several times but never understand it fully. So please help me with any of your ideas and thoughts regarding the questions above. I'll be very grateful.
