Chubukov says of Natalya: “... as if she won’t consent! She’s in love; egad, she’s like a lovesick cat…” Would you agree? Find reasons for your answer. (The proposal, class 10)

Answer:
Chubukov thought that Lomov was a good marriage prospect for his daughter. He had been waiting for this proposal. When Lomov expressed his doubt regarding Natalya’s consent to the proposal, Chubukov immediately told him that she was in love with him. However, this was not true. Natalya did not seem to be in love with Lomov at any point in the play. It seemed like she was more attached to her land, meadows and dogs than to Lomov. In fact, the way they kept getting into arguments about trivial matters suggests that neither Lomov nor Natalya was in love with the other.

It is true Natalya was a lovesick cat. When Lomov came to her home with a marriage proposal, both of them got involved in an argument over Oxen Meadows. The argument became so heated that it became an altercation. Lomov was insulted and abused; he had fit and had to leave. However, when Natalya came to know about the proposal, she immediately sent her father, Chubukov to bring him back. She wanted to accept the marriage proposal and when Lomov came back she agreed Oxen Meadows belonged to his family.
