Answer -
In Chekhov's " The Proposal " Lomov is the speaker here.
Lomov has come with a proposal to marry Chubukov's daughter, Natalya. He tries to propose Natalya. He is too much worried, he wants to finish briefly. Though he starts with a long introduction about the family relationships of Lomovs & Chubukov. He spends a long time to propose. Chubukov is a landlord and he can not resist his hunger for land. Thus he diverted from his purpose.
Firstly, Lomov's tension and incoherent speech can be enjoyed with fun. Secondly, he declares to express his proposal in brief and starts a long introduction. This becomes funny. Chubukov can be quite quarrelsome and insulting. He always sides with his daughter. He picks up a quarrel on ""Oxen Meadows"". He calls Lomov "" A land grabber "". He abuses his grandfather of being a drunkard. The irony lies talent in the situation, while Lomov starts saying about friendly relationship.
