A Marriage Proposal- Anton Chekhov- S4- Readings in Literature- Global Voices- University of Kerala

It is a one-act play written by the Russian story writer and dramatist Chekhov in 1888–89. The play is about the tendency of rich families to hunt ties with other wealthy families, to extend their estates by encouraging marriages that observe economic sense. Ivan Lomov, a wealthy neighbor of Stepan Tschubukov, also wealthy, who seeks the hand of Tschubukov’s twenty-five-year-old daughter, Natalya. All three are argumentative, and they argue over petty issues. The proposal is on the verge of losing in the middle of all this quarrelling. But economic common sense ensures that the proposal is formed, in any case — although the quarrelling perhaps continues.
