Such a method of evaluation, taken to its extreme, would be even sillier than approaching writers and critics as exponents of general ideas (1a).Три месяца до ареста жена уговаривала меня не объявлять голодовку, хоть не бессрочную: «Двух недель достаточно. Ну, пусть три недели...» - торговалась она со мной, а я смеялся и говорил, что вытяну несколько месяцев и непременно сниму (голодовку), не доводя дело до крайности. Я и сам не стремился к смерти (Марченко 2). ( context transl) Three months before I was arrested, my wife urged me not to go on a hunger strike, or at least not for an unlimited period. She bargained with me: "Two weeks is enough. Well, maybe three weeks...." I laughed and said I would be able to hold out for several months and would definitely quit before reaching a critical point. I had no desire to die (2a). -
