Both works show emotional challenges that humans face. Both works show human dependency on material needs."
Answer:
Both works show emotional challenges that humans face.
Explanation:
Both works show emotional challenges that humans face. That's because "The death of Ivan Ilyich" is a work that portrays the melancholy and agony of having had a shallow and empty life and feeling that he is dying without having enjoyed every moment that life provides in an intense and fun way. This causes a sense of despair, fear and regret in the protagonist.
The same can be seen in the painting "the scream", where the painted character demonstrates suffering horrible emotions such as fear, anguish, despair and agony.
