Скачать или смотреть The Proposal | Anton Chekhov Play Explained | Class 10 English | Learn Wise

This video explains the Class 10 English one-act play “The Proposal”, written by Anton Chekhov. The play is a humorous satire that highlights the greed, pride, and materialistic mindset of the upper-middle-class society.

The story revolves around Ivan Lomov, who visits Natalya Stepanovna to propose marriage. Instead of romance, the discussion quickly turns into heated arguments over property boundaries (Oxen Meadows) and superior hunting dogs. Due to his weak nerves, Lomov repeatedly collapses, yet the characters remain more concerned about property and status than human emotions.

Through comedy and exaggeration, Chekhov shows how marriage becomes a business deal rather than a relationship based on love and understanding.
