Anton Chekov's use of style would be characterized as an impressionist style. In the short story "Lady with Lapdog", Chekov's use of style is similar to most of his other works of literature. Generally speaking, a few elements illustrating his use of style are: Use of sadness in all of his works of literature foreshadowing the story's theme, absence of basic information in introductions and conclusions, and always writing to the point.
One can easily define the tone or mood of Chekov's short story right from the beginning of the story. For instance, the very first sentence the author writes in the story, "People were telling one another that a newcomer had been seen on the promenade-a lady with a dog", signifies us of the way people were acting and what type of situation the story is about, in our case, a gossipy-like situation where people talk about one another. According to me, it foreshadows of the upcoming mystery and obstacles of the story. In addition, throughout the whole story, the writer mostly keeps referring to the main character of the story, Gurov, making it a very self-associated story.
Introductions in Chekov's literary works lack excess, additional and even basic information purposely. Although information such as the story's setting and background information in the introduction does not exist, one can get hints of such information in other parts of Chekov's stories. As an example, in "Lady with Lapdog" we are getting a clear description of such information in a paragraph other than the introductory paragraph. "The accounts of the laxity of morals among visitors to Yalta are greatly exaggerated, and he paid to heed to them." (Paragraph 7). In addition, Chekov's conclusions tend to be left open and without a real resolution, leaving the reader thinking and even pushing him/her to create an ending. For example, in the short story "Lady with Lapdog", the conclusion is left opened.
