The "end" of the story begins after the jurist leaves his confinement in "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov...true or false?
I believe it's false. Didn't the end begin with the letter he wrote the banker renouncing the money?

I concur, false.
I feel the end began with the end of the activities of the jurist being described, and the banker taking action.
True. In "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov, the "end" of the story begins after the jurist leaves his confinement.
To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to analyze the plot of "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov. In this story, a wealthy banker makes a bet with a young lawyer that he cannot willingly remain in solitary confinement for 15 years.
Throughout the story, the lawyer is confined to a lodge on the banker's estate while the banker watches over him. The narrative focuses on the lawyer's experiences, thoughts, and transformations during his confinement.
Towards the end of the story, the lawyer writes a letter stating that he has learned to appreciate life and renounces the money he would have won from the bet. At this point, the lawyer has completed his 15-year confinement and decides to leave.
Therefore, if we interpret "the end of the story" as the moment the lawyer leaves his confinement, then the statement "The 'end' of the story begins after the jurist leaves his confinement in 'The Bet' by Anton Chekhov" would be false.
However, if we interpret "the end of the story" as a broader concept that includes what happens after the lawyer's release, including the banker's reaction or subsequent events, then the statement could be argued as true.
Ultimately, the decision of whether the statement is true or false depends on how one defines and interprets the "end" of the story.
