In the story ” The Bet ” the lawyer emerged as a better human being. When they had the bet fifteen years before, both of them were ordinary human beings – the banker had a money while the lawyer in greed of money accepted the bet.
The lawyer spent fifteen years in a lonely cell. He read books. Books gave him wisdom and changed his mind and soul. He became a refined man. He realised that what the people call to be the blessings on earth-wealth, health, beauty – they are all delusive as a mirage. To show his contempt, he waived the two million roubles that he was about to win. He even freed the banker from obligation by coming out of the prison five minutes before the stipulated time.
On the other hand, the banker remained selfish and mean. To save his two millions, he even attempted to kill the lawyer. He again showed his meanness by keeping the lawyer’s note locked in his safe.
Thus, the lawyer emerged to be a better human being.
