Ivan – Protagonist
This story is written in Ivan's perspective and his point of view really dictates how we see him as a character. Ivan, being the main character typically makes him a protagonist.

Reliability
Ivan is relatible because he goes through a greedy standpoint in his life. This makes him relatible because greed is a universal problem. Ivan, being a middle class man, always had enough to get by and a little to treat himself. So when the possibility of him winning the money, he became very ungrateful for what he had.

Transformational Arc.
Ivan goes through a very critical character arc. He starts out very loving and content with his wife. When he believes he would come into an abundance of cash, he becomes very greedy and ungrateful. The thought of having a lot of money was turning him against his wife. Money is the root of all evil and easy come easy go.
