Question

Describe the proposal as an one act play

Answer 1

  The Play “The Proposal” by Anton Chekov is humorous and witty.  It deals with the quarrel between Lomov and Natalya over small issues. Lomov comes to the house of Chubukov, a land owner. Natalya is the daughter of Chubukov.  She is aged about 25. Lomov wants to marry her.  He is aged about more than 35. Yet he wants to propose to her without respecting the feelings of Natalya and her father. Meanwhile Natalya and Lomov exchange heated arguments for the ownership of the Volovyi Meadows and the greatness of their dogs Tyer and Flyer.     Lomov belongs to a rich family. He boasts of his wealth and claims that Volovyi Meadows are his own. He says that his dog Tyer is better than Natalya’s dog Flyer. On the one hand, he behaves like a peculiar person, who suffers from hypochondria. On the other hand, he proposes to marry Nataliya. Thus he seems to be foolish. It reminds us of a sentimental and humorous comedy.     The play “The Proposal” is full of farce too. Farce is type of comedy that provokes the audience belly laughs in the theatre. Here Chekov uses a highly exaggerated character like Lomov- caricatured character type. He puts Lomov and Natalya into humorous situations. Two argumentative and opposite people come together.  At last Natalya agrees to marry Lomov, in spite of their long dispute over the Meadows and their dogs.

Answer 2

The play "The Proposal" by Anton Chekhov as a one-act play.

Explanation:

A one act play is a short play that focuses on a single scene and a single day that covers the happenings of a single act.

• Anton Chekhov's play "The Proposal" is a perfect example of a one-act play.
• This farcical play revolves around the story of Natalya Stepanovna and Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov and their relationship.
• But most importantly, the play focuses on the short yet witty communication between the characters, especially between Lomov and Natalya's father Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov.
• Amidst the desire to propose to Natalya, the trio engaged into a heated argument about a previously disputed land and then again about their pet dogs. The proposal came out after such dramatic scenes, but still leads to a happy ending.
• And like a typical one act play, Chekhov's lay focuses on the single day's scene of a single scene, that of Lomov's desire to ask for Natalya's hand for marriage.
• And as a single act play, the whole scene occurs in the house, within a single issue of the marriage proposal, and involving the three characters.
