The tales center around Grigóry Orlóff and his wife Matréna, exploring their tumultuous relationship, struggles with poverty, and the hardships of working-class life in a Russian city." "The beginning of this tale draws readers into the Orlóff's chaotic domestic life filled with verbal and physical altercations. At the outset, we witness a fierce argument between Grísha and Matréna, with neighbors peeking in to observe the drama unfolding in their cellar. The narrative paints a grim image of their life: a small, dank cellar where they work and live, punctuated by violence and despair. As Grísha grapples with his internal conflicts regarding his behavior and their situation, Matréna endures both his wrath and her own feelings of helplessness. Together, their story reflects the broader struggles of the working class, the cyclical nature of poverty, and the effects of alcohol and domestic turmoil on their lives."
