Please post what you have written so far. I am not stupid enough to write a nice paragraph and then you disappear with my good writing. Btw, what I write would not show your mistake.

"The Bet" is a short story that explores a moral theme regarding the value of human life. However, the story is constructed with an important ironic twist that brings the reader back to the original context of the bet (if the lawyer could endure solitary confinement for fifteen years), and presents an unexpected result. One can ultimately see that Anton Chekhov presents the readers with two different paths in the story. One of them is the banker, who refuses to face his own morality and the other is the lawyer (prisoner) who actually faces his own morality, but falls into despair because he is so disconnected from the outside world, even after gaining so much knowledge. These two characters may thrive on change, but they both alter their own human values in great ways.
I did this I don't think so I am right... I feel that she does not want this

What is the exact assignment?
(Don't you mean "mortality," not "morality"? Big difference.)

It's your assignment and your choice. I'm just along for the ride.
How much do you have to write, and with what purpose? To explain? To expound upon? What?
