Answers
The play is set in only one location and can be summarized in four parts.
The Father-in-Law
The scene is set in the country house of wealthy landowner Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov who receives a visit from his neighbor of some time, Ivan Vassiliyitch Lomov. After some polite introductions and conversation, Lomov starts hesitating and is obviously beating around the bush about an issue on his mind. It transpires that he has come to make a marriage proposal to Chubukov's daughter Natalia. After he finally has taken courage and asked, he is enthusiastically accepted by his future father-in-law who calls his daughter, and Lomov's subject of desire, into the room.
The Argument
Natalia enters the room and greets Lomov like an old friend. While she chats about her household chores and invites Lomov to lunch, he tries awkwardly to express his proposal of marriage. However, in his attempt, he makes the mistake of mentioning a piece of land that is obviously situated at the border between the two neighbors' properties. Instead of hearing Lomov out, Natalia starts an argument with her suitor, who, being a hypochondriac, is increasingly plagued by nervous palpitations and other ailments as the argument continues.
Father and Daughter
When Natalia's father hears their argument, he enthusiastically starts participating and finally throws his neighbor out of the house. Alone with Natalia, he is complaining loudly about Lomov, and his dismay that his neighbor dared to make a marriage proposal. As this is the first Natalia hears about Lomov's visit, she is not only taken aback, but becomes hysteric and demands her father to bring back the neighbor to finalize his proposal.
Solution
Following Natalia's hysterics, her father rushes out and calls back the neighbor who willingly returns. Lomov again makes an attempt to propose, but in doing so touches the subject of their respective dogs, and immediately is involved in another major argument with Natalia who insists she has the better dog. Lomov, exhausted from the exertion of arguing, faints and must be revived by father and daughter. Finally, Chubukov has enough and insists that his daughter and the neighbor seal the acceptance of the proposal with a kiss. The couple-to-be oblige him, but continue their argument about the dogs immediately after the kiss, while Chubukov calls for champagne.

Summary of the The Proposal
Ivan Lomov was a wealthy neighbour of another wealthy farmer Chubukov. Natalya is the twenty-five-year-old daughter of Chubukov.
All of them have a tendency to argue and quarrel with each other about almost anything. They quarrel over petty issues. They already have an ongoing dispute over a particular piece of land.
Lomov comes to the house of his neighbour Chubukov well dressed. Chubukov is surprised but he thinks that Lomov must have come to ask for money which he doesn't plan on giving. Lomov tells him that he has come to ask for Chubulov’s daughter hand in marriage. Chubukov gets excited and leaves to call his daughter Natalya.
Lomov is 35, suffers from palpitations, doesn’t sleep well and is irritable. He thinks Natalya is average-looking and a good housekeeper. Natalya arrives and the conversation continues. Chubukov somehow mentions about Oxen Meadows, the disputed land between them. Natalya believes that Oxen Meadows belong to her family. They enter into a heated argument. Amidst this quarrelling, they completely forget the real issue, the marriage proposal. Lomov is thrown out of the house. Chubukov unintentionally tells Natalya that he had come with a marriage proposal for Natalya. She immediately regrets sending him out. She tells her father to bring him back. Lomov returns and Natalya tries to talk about other things. But immediately enter into another argument involving their dogs. They continue arguing and Chubukov only makes the situation worse. During the argument Natalya notices that Lomov have fallen unconscious. Chubukov and Natalya are soon able to revive him.
Good sense prevails and Chubukov puts his daughter’s hand into Lomov’s hands and blesses them. The marriage proposal is thus finalised. But Natalya brings up the topic of her dog being superior and quarrelling continues.
