Gerasim Timeline and Summary

We meet Gerasim at Ivan's funeral.
He gives Peter Ivanovich his coat and takes him to his carriage when he leaves to go to his bridge game.
Gerasim is introduced as the servant who helps Ivan carry out daily functions such as going to the bathroom.
On one particular day, Gerasim helps Ivan to the couch and is asked by Ivan to put his legs on his shoulders. He does so, and the two talk.
Ivan realizes Gerasim is the only person in his life who comforts him.
Gerasim starts spending time with Ivan and holding up his legs regularly.
The night Ivan's family goes to the theater, Gerasim is called in by Ivan to sit with him and support his legs.
Later that night, Gerasim is dismissed by Ivan when he regains his senses after an opium haze.
One night, four days before his death, while Gerasim is sleeping (and supporting Ivan's legs), Ivan looks at his face and realizes that his life probably has been a mistake.
