Anton Chekhov 1860-1904

Farce We are supposed to laugh at the action The expressions are exaggerated The follies of the society are exposed through this medium It is a marriage proposal where the woman is 25 years old, overage in Chekhov’s time. The man is a hypochondriac and the father of the girl is trying to regulate the match.

Characters Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov Ivan Vassiliyitch Lomov, Stepan’s long time neighbour Natalia, Stepan’s 25 year old daughter

The Plot Lomov has come to propose marriage to Natalia. After he has asked and received joyful permission from Chubukov to marry Natalia, she is invited into the room, and he tries to convey to her the proposal. Lomov, while trying to make clear his reasons for being there, he gets into an argument with Natalia about The Oxen Meadows, a disputed piece of land between their respective properties, which results in him having palpitations and numbness in his leg. After her father notices they are arguing, he joins in, and then sends Lomov out of the house. While Stepan rants about Lomov, he expresses his shock that "this fool dares to make you (Natalia) a proposal of marriage!" Natalia then realizes that Lomov wanted to marry her and immediately starts into hysterics, begging for her father to bring him back. He does, and Natalia and Ivan get into a second big argument, this time about the superiority of their respective hunting dogs, Guess and Squeezer. Ivan collapses from his exhaustion over arguing, and father and daughter fear he's dead, sending them into another round of hysterics. However, after a few minutes he regains consciousness, and Chubukov all but forces him and his daughter to accept the proposal with a kiss. Immediately following the kiss, the couple gets into another argument over their dogs.
