Havia vist la peli amb el meu pare i no podia parar de veure l'Anette Bening sent la millor. Puta arkadina i visca els drames familiars.
Ja us diré q tal l'obra del manrique

This is the first Russian play I read, and I guess there is a complementarity between both the Russian and the Dramatic tradition.
The russians are well-known for the exacertbated sentimentality and I believe the theatre only tends to intensify this feeling.
The play is quite humourous mostly for the characters who are absolutely despicable and selfish. Each only cares for its own pain and everyone envies one another, although they all share the same surroundings and are basically a very disfunctional family.
Also, each single one experiences an unrequited love, leading to beautiful dissertations of whatever that makes them feel.
It is comic and tragic at the same time. It also develops the idea of the artist which is something that usually interests me. So I enjoyed the play very much and plan on continue to read Chekhov's most famous dramatic work.

When I picked up The Seagull by Chekhov and wondered if I should buy it or not, the opening lines made it clear:
MEDVEDENKO. Why do you always wear black?
MASHA. I 19m in mourning for my life. I 19m unhappy.
The play is beautifully written and it was a pleasure to read. I finished it yesterday, in the park, not completely realizing how it all adds up: the symbol of the seagull changes throughout the play, and it means different things to each of the characters. The themes are unrequited love, the life of an artist, existentialism and self-conscience. Each of the main characters go through all the main themes, for example: Medvedenko loves Masha, but Masha loves Treplev, Treplev does not love Masha back, he loves Nina, who loves Treplev but then falls madly in love with Trigorin. Arkadina loves Trigorin but loses his affections to Nina. Paulina loves Dorn though she is married to Shamrayev. And ultimately Masha ends up like her mother, Paulina, married to a man she is not in love with. Both Arkadina and Nina praise life as actresses, Trigorin writes down every idea he comes up with, Treplev is shadowed by her mother 19s success and friends, and so on and so on. '
