Question

Social life in Chekhov's play"The Proposal"

Answer 1

Answer:

The Proposal" is usually classified as a farce, rather than satire, because it is a short work that focuses on a single idea in a limited way with comical stereotypes such as the hypochondriac [Lomov], the shrew [Natalia], and the hypocrite [Tschubukov]. Farce is further identified by exaggeration and absurdity, two other elements in Chekhov's one-act play.
