After reading "The Spider and the Wasp" by Alexander Petrunkevitch, focus on these three questions:
1. What do the "spider" and the "wasp" metaphorically represent in human terms?
(Where do you see Petrunkevitch the arachnologist meet Petrunkevitch the politician?)
2. From reading about the behaviors of the spider and the wasp, how does Petrunkevitch feel about "Red October" and Stalinist Russia?
(Hint: Red October is a reference to the Soviet Revolution of 1917.
Joseph Stalin died in 1953, one year after Petrunkevitch's essay)?
3. Petrunkevitch suggests that the spider submits to the wasp "unwittingly" because "it is not aware of its danger"; how does the spider's surrender reflect the pessimism Petrunkevitch has for his culture and homeland?
