Character -sketch of 'Natalya'.
Answers
Answer:Natalya is a good looking and educated girl of 25 years. She also a good housekeeper. However she is short-tempered and cantankerous. She is desperate to fall in love and her father calls her a love-sick cat. According to Lomov, she doesn't seem educated as she is abusive and cannot control her speech. She quarrels with Lomov over Meadows as she says that she does not like unfairness but when she comes to know that Lomov had come to propose to her she changes her attitude and regrets losing an opportunity of love. She is therefore an opportunist. When Lomov returns on being called by her father she begins all over again to fight with him on the issue of their respective dogs. This tells the reader that she has the compulsive habit of quarreling. She seems to be also a dominating nature as she puts down Lomov with her zestful arguing and agitation.
