The purpose of this article is to analyse the specifics of the world views of the characters in Anton Chekhov’s novella Ward No. 6, revealed through existential issues. The following methods were used to achieve the research objectives: abstraction, generalisation, content analysis, comparative analysis and the method of artistic hermeneutics. Every character in this literary work by Chekhov follows a path of ideological searching, and the position taken by the author is expressed through the process of clashing two personalities that act as oppositional in their world views. The personification effect acts as the main mechanism for revealing existential conflicts, which in the process of revealing ideological content relies on the search for truth expressed by the work’s characters and their unique way of looking at the world.
