read “A Woman’s Kingdom” by Anton Chekhov. I chose this piece simply because the title intrigued me. Chekov is a very interesting author because he was a Russian physician, dramatist and author who is considered to be among the greatest writers of short stories in history.

Anton Chekov and Bertolt Brecht are two theatre practitioners whose work has had a significant impact on the development of modern theatrical practices. Both of these men’s contributions revolutionised the nature of theatre at their time and their work has greatly shaped modern acting techniques and theatre conventions.

Having this in mind I am confronted with a question which is what is the major theme in The Cherry Orchard? Memory plays an enormous role in the story. Memory is one of the many main necessities within society. Memory is a fundamentally important part of development for society. It is a way to have knowledge of our past selves, to gaze upon how things

with the Dog is based on his life experiences. On the 25th of May in 1901, Chekov married his wife Olga Knipper, a stage actress. Together they maintained a long distance relationship; Chekov was living mainly in Yalta and Olga in Moscow as she continued to seek her acting career (Hingley). While Chekov and Olga remained separated, they continued to uphold a stable marriage as they lived apart for most of the year. Chekov wrote The Lady with the Dog during the time of their separation, starring two

Chekov initially gained fame as the author of short stories while at the same time opening a medical practice.

After becoming acquainted, Anna and Gurov “walked and talked of the strange light on the sea: the water was a soft, warm, lilac color and there was a golden band of moonlight upon it” (Chekov 507). Later, when he is alone in his hotel room, Gurov reflects on her “slim, delicate throat, her lovely gray eyes” (Chekov 507) and his thoughts reveal that he has determined this young, vulnerable woman to be an ideal candidate for another one of his many affairs that he just cannot help becoming involved

banker found the lawyer, who looked much like a skeleton, sitting unnervingly still even after the old door had been pried opened (The Bet 4). It is during this moment the reader begins to make a prediction as to how the story is going to end. When Chekov begins describing the physical attributes of the now time withered man, the reader begins to believe the lawyer is in fact dead and has not completed the
