Answer 2

The two effects are they lead to character growth and they make the play more dramatic in the stage directions have in this excerpt from Anton Chekhov's 'The Proposal'.

• The play's title, "The Proposal," is really fitting, Lomov, a bachelor of 35 years, wants to ask Natalya to be his wife. He visits her home for the same reason. He doesn't immediately propose due to his confusion. He dodges the question. He speaks inanely.
• Natalya believes that he has come to claim Oxen Meadows as his own because she is unaware that he has come to propose to her. She starts to argue. One argument leads to another as a result of this.
• Natalya discovers that he has come to propose to her as a result of Chubukov's meddling. She immediately forgets the topic of fighting after that. The proposal is then made and approved. They get engaged at last. As a result, it may be claimed that the play's title is rather appropriate.
