Marya Vasilyevna

also: Марья Васильевна, Vasilyevna, Васильевна

A village schoolmistress of thirteen years' standing, protagonist of \textit{In the Cart}; worn down by poverty, an indifferent and half-corrupt local school administration, and the narrowness of her daily round between the school at Vyazovye and the town, she is briefly drawn to the landowner Khanov during a cart journey home, and at the story's end is overwhelmed by a sudden, involuntary vision of her long-dead mother.
