How does anton p. chekhov use language to show the change in the lawyer’s outlook on life?

The lawyer’s diction becomes gloomier.

Explanation:

Anton P. Chekhov is the author of "The Bet" which tells the story of a bet between a banker and a lawyer. In this story they bet that the death penalty would be better or worse than life imprisonment. The lawyer begins to change his conviction about which would be the best in the course of history. At this point Chekhov gives this character an increasingly somber diction as the lawyer changes his perspective on life.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
