In Anton Chekhov's short story "The Bet," a wealthy banker and a young lawyer make a bet regarding the value of life imprisonment versus the death penalty. The banker wagers two million rubles that the lawyer cannot endure fifteen years of solitary confinement. The lawyer accepts the bet, and over the years, he undergoes significant personal transformation and intellectual growth while in isolation.

As the fifteenth year approaches, the banker, who has fallen into financial ruin, fears losing the bet and decides to kill the lawyer to avoid paying. However, upon visiting the lawyer’s cell to carry out his plan, he discovers that the lawyer has chosen to forfeit the bet, renouncing the money and the world outside. The story highlights themes of human nature, the value of life, and the futility of material wealth.
