“Ward No. 6” is a short story by Anton Chekhov (1892). The story is set in a provincial mental asylum and explores the philosophical conflict between a patient and the director of the asylum. Literary critic Edmund Wilson called it one of Chekhov’s “masterpieces, a fable of the whole situation of the frustrated intellectuals of the Russia of the eighties and nineties.”
