Character of Natalya. “The Proposal” as an one act play. “The Proposal” Drama By Anton Chekhov class 12 note with PDF.
“Proposal” as an one act
play.
The one-act play contains a simple
episode, limited characters and a short simple incident. Maintaining all these
characteristics the Proposal demands itself as a one-act play. There are only
three characters-Lomov, Natalya and Chubukov. The play deals with a single and
simple issue – the proposal of marriage by Lomov to Natalya. The flow of the
incident advances promptly and ends all of a sudden, leaving the readers in
great curiosity. The readers are surprised at the sudden end of the drama and
similarly are very curious to know what will happen later in their lives.
However the way Chubukov helps Natalya and Lomov to come closer is very funny
and spectators are much entertained. So, at last we can say that the proposal
is no doubt a perfect funny one-act play.
