“Russia! Russia! What is the incomprehensible, mysterious force that draws me to you? Why does your mournful song, carried along your whole length and breadth from sea to sea, each and re-echo incessantly in my ears? What is there in that song? What is it that calls, and sobs, and clutches at my heart? What are those sounds that caress me so poignantly, that go straight to my soul and twine about my heart? Russia! What do you want from me? What is that mysterious, hidden bond between us?”
How the affectione love for this gray country is reflected, Gogol himself is encountered by the harsh dilemma of whether to love or to complain aboout the country itself. He reveals the deep corruption of the russian society including the bureaucratic absurdity that is shown by the officials. Although the city is corrupted, he cannot hold himself without expressing the mysterious, hidden bond between him and his hometown. Even though he is complaining and creating a social satire for Russia, at the same time he accepts that he is part of this system as well, as being a russian. He admits that he has some 'Russia' in him, symbolizng both the corruption and the sweet-sound home. As well as Chichikov, the writer himself is facing the conflict caused by 'being a part of something' whether the whole thing is a negative or a positive statement.
'Bize gene yanlız yol göründü. Bu defterime Emine'ye teslim edip tek başıma, yarı aç, yarı çıplak ve böğrümden kanım sızarak bitmez tükenmez uzaklara doğru yürüyeceğim'
Açık uçlu biterken aynı zamanda aynı sonun devam edeceğini anlatan son paragraf. Her iki şekilde de hayat bitmiştir başkarakterimiz için. Kolundan sonra sağlığını, yetmeksizin hayatta tutan son umut Emine'yi kaybetmek ölümden beter değil midir onun için. Yaşasa da gideceği sonraki yerde de yaban olmayacak mı. Duygusuz, kolsuz, hissiz, Eminesiz onu yaşıyor sayabilecek miyiz? Bir 'Yaban' olarak yaşamak onun için yaşam mıdır? O halde her iki son da kitabı açık uçlu bitirmekten ziyade umudun, isteğin, hislerin yani insanı sadece nefes alır vaziyette olmaktan ayıran şeylerin yitirilmesini vurgulamıyor mu?
