At the beginning of his imprisonment in Anton Chekhov's "The Bet," the prisoner declines wine because he is determined to reject all forms of indulgence and temptation. He views the act of abstaining from luxuries, including wine, as a way to strengthen his resolve and maintain control over his circumstances. This refusal symbolizes his commitment to the bet and his desire to prove his resilience against the challenges of isolation.
