I must say that I really like this play. The play "Uncle Vanya" is an inimitable Chekhovian lyricism, gentle humor, the atmosphere of sadness and hope, a sense of foreboding things to come. These amazing Chekhov's characters are funny and tender, vulnerable and mocking, weak in their search and persistent in errors. This is special world of Chekhov's drama, full of passion, cries and whispers.
Summary
Judging by the title of the play, the focus is the fate of the author of Uncle Vanya. Overestimating their way of life, he is going through a spiritual crisis. Now Uncle Vanya realizes that his whole life he put into the service of Professor Serebryakov, was a mistake. "I am proud of him and his science - desperate cries Voynitskiy - I lived, I breathed it! Everything he wrote and uttered seemed to me a genius Oh, and now? So he retired, and now see the whole result of his life after he will not remain a one-page work, he is completely unknown, it is nothing? Bubble? And I cheated - I see - stupid deceived "" You ruined my life! - Shouts Uncle Vanya Serebryakov. - I have not lived, not lived! By your grace, I have cut off, destroyed the best years of my life! You are my worst enemy! "
That's the tragedy of Uncle Vanya, that their misfortunes in his failed life he blames only the external circumstances, blames mainly Serebriakova. "I cheated " is not fair to say that he had deceived himself, that he himself (among others) contributed to the transformation of the talented youths in order peevish, unbearable fellowship the man who stands before us with his first appearance.
But Uncle Vanya thinks about it. Understanding that life is lived in vain, for it comes too late, "I do not sleep with a night of disappointment - he complains - that is so stupid miss the bus, when could have everything fails me now my old age!"
Thinking of Uncle Vanya and myself, Dr. Astrov puts hopeless diagnosis: life is lived "so stupid and so tasteless ". Well, blame only the old professor?
