In 'The Ninny' by Anton Chekhov, the narrator, the employer, justifies deducting money from Yulia's pay by manipulating her self-confidence and subtly insinuating that her memory or her calculations must be incorrect. He uses his authority and Yulia's submissiveness to his advantage. The story underscores the social and moral aspects of exploiting an individual's insecurities and naivety.
For instance, when Yulia believes she should get 'thirty-two and a half roubles' for her two months earnings. Her employer, the narrator insists it should be less because there were holidays and Sundays. By bringing up holidays and Sundays, he attempts to create confusion, causing her to doubt her calculations.
He also displays an intimidating attitude, aiming to intimidate her into agreeing with his incorrect calculations. The narrator, by invoking his authority as an employer and utilizing Yulia's insecurities, manipulates her into accepting the unfair deductions.
