[edit] Update

Updated a bit further, would benefit from more additions about Russian 20th century history. Will keep adding as I find more to put on. 81.155.152.21 17:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I began a list of characters, I will expand on this and also add a list of quotes, and research deeper the meaning of the metaphors in the book. JudeNich 20:21, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I added some information to this stub, I would like to write more when i have more time for research into meaning. Perhaps somebody else who has read this novel would like to expand, particularly about the tobacco in the monkey's eyes, since i do not as yet fully understand this metaphor. -ZDay 23:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious about that metaphor too. It was brought up continuously at the end of the book and kostoglotov wouldnt let it go. I think it might be that he knew he was about to die and couldnt understand how someone could throw away a life so thoughtlessly. There is also the monkeys captivity to think about as kostoglotov was a prisoner as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.40.61.137 (talk) 22:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
