Write the character sketch of lomov chubokov and natalya
Answers
Lomov
Lomov is a hypochondriac who wants to get married for the sake of appearances. He doesn't seem to love Natalya but decides to marry her because she's the best woman available. He has difficulty coming to the point, which makes conversing with him difficult. Because of his tendency to digress, he becomes involved in silly arguments with Natalya and Chubukov about land ownership and dogs. What seems most important to him is maintaining a superior appearance, which is also true of the other two characters.
Natalya
Natalya is a strong-willed woman who is more effective than Lomov in speaking clearly and getting to the point. However, her will is focused on maintaining a superior appearance. As a result, she insists that Oxen Meadows belongs to her family and not to Lomov. She also argues that her dog is better than Lomov's dog. Yet, she feels the burden of being a potential if not actual spinster and, thus, desperately wants to marry Lomov. Despite this, her concern for being right about superficial matters takes precedence.
Chubukov
Chubukov seems happy about the potential marriage between Lomov and Natalya. However, he sees marriage in a mercenary way, referring to Lomov's proposal as a merchant buying goods. For him, the match is advantageous as a good business arrangement for both families. Whether Lomov and Natalya really love each other probably doesn't matter much. Despite his eagerness for the marriage to happen, Chubukov places greater value on maintaining a superior appearance. As a result, he gets embroiled in the inane arguments between Lomov and Natalya.
