Ilustration Supposing Books The Three Sisters
First performed at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1901, The Three Sisters probes the lives and dreams of Olga, Masha, and Irina, former Muscovites now living in a provincial town from which they long to escape. Their hopes for a life more suited to their cultivated tastes and sensibilities provide a touching counterpoint to the relentless flow of compromising events in the real world.In this powerful play, a landmark of modern drama, Chekhov masterfully interweaves character and theme in subtle ways that make the work's finale seem as inevitable as it is deeply moving. It is reprinted here from a standard text with updated transliteration of character names and additional explanatory footnotes.

The Three Sisters examines the lives of the Prozorovs, a Russian family who live in a provincial town far from Moscow. The three sisters, Masha, Olga, and
1.5 stars.I am not very particular to plays, and perhaps this fact coupled with the fact that I find long and confusing names a deterrent to the story, along with the multiple minor characters made me dislike the book. What I understood:-there's a brother and 3 sisters- brother has a sweetheart whom he marries and who shows her true colors slowly after marriage-three sisters are slowly alienated and displaced from their house-there are many army gentlemen whose only chore is to attend dinner
Three Sisters tells us the lives, struggles and dreams of Olga, Masha and Irina at a time of social and political change in Russia. Change and transformation has been one of the key themes of Chekhov as the social and political changes were slowly making progress through Russia. Though Chekhov didn't live to see the Russian revolution, his works hints at future change which was inevitable. Olga, Masha and Irina dream of settling down in Moscow and living in an elevated society. Their struggle to
I've Seen it in the Theater with buddies, at Kurdistan region!
To read Chekhov (the dramatist) is to crack a case!His literary style does not include a central plot which drives the play, the tragedy and comedy are inextricably intertwined, the lack of clarity and defined meanings are intrinsic characteristics of his drama, which eventually puzzles the reader, It may even allude to a static plot consisting of characters mulling upon the mundane! The three sisters seems to follow the same pattern that focuses on the development of the different characters'
So, whats this play about?In a nutshell, and I think this quote from Act 4 sums it up nicely:(view spoiler)[ MASHA. When you take your happiness in little bits, in snatches, and then lose it, as I have done, you gradually get coarser, more bitter. (hide spoiler)]Like all the other works Ive read by Chekhov, this is also not an easy read. Yep, Chekhov makes you work for it.
