Abstract
The present research paper is a psychoanalytical study of Anton Chekhov works “My
Life” (1896) and his short story “The Betrothed” (1903). My major concern is to understand
the characters psychological evolvement and motivation and assert each character unique
personality and individual differences. To achieve this purpose I have relayed mainly on The
Adlerian Theory of Individual Psychology and Personality Types from which I borrowed
some main concepts. Inferiority feelings, the notion of strive for compensation and final goal
to analyse the characters, understand their psychological stand and gain recognition of their
lifestyle in the first chapter. The concept of social interest which helped the identification of
the characters Psychological types to treat the second chapter, providing a better
understanding of the characters in both works and stressing their individuality.
