In my university, Aletha and the people around him had a miserable life. If we have to find a reason for this misfortune, it is probably the living environment of that society. In this work, Gorky focuses on the description of ordinary citizens living at the bottom of society, and through the description of these ordinary citizens, the morbid state of society and human nature is shown. Therefore, the characters in the works are an important starting point for the author to express his thoughts and opinions.

In this work, Aletha is the embodiment of Gorky's childhood. When he was very young, his father died of illness, and his mother took Alisha back to her family. However, when they returned to their grandparents' home, their living conditions did not improve. Alisha's two uncles began to argue for separation. They are afraid that their mother will share their property.

After that, the novel revolves around these people in grandparents' family, which fully shows the selfishness and indifference of ordinary citizens.
