In the beginning of the story Dmitry saw Anna as a fling and someone that he would have a quick relationship with. Anna was just another affair to Dmitry and he never saw anything long term with her. At the end of the story, Dmitry comes to realize that he has true feelings for Anna. Dmitry is in love with Anna and feels like he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Dmitry is contemplating breaking his family apart to be with the one he truly loves, who ironically was only supposed to be a fling.
I also think the fence surrounding Anna’s house can represent her feeling trapped in her marriage with no way out. Anna is clearly unsatisfied with her home life but feels like she must remain unhappy with her husband to be accepted in society. Since Dmitry walks on the outside of the fence and Anna is in the house the fence could symbolize their separation and the obstacles, like their families, which keep them apart.
If I could extend the story I would just want to know what the final decision was between Dmitry and Anna. Did they decide the keep their relationship a secret, or will they act upon it and break away from their families to be together?
