Answer: Right from the beginning to end of the play The Proposal, we see that the total play is built on a single point that is its title. Once Lomov comes to his long-time neighbour Natalya’s house to propose her for marriage. But after few trivial talks with Natalya and her father, suddenly before proposing her, Lomov engages into argument with them over the ownership of a disputed land called Oxen Meadows. Getting sick, when Lomov leaves their house, Natalya comes to know about Lomov’s coming and she begins to lament over the loss. Again when Lomov is called back, before Lomov makes the proposal another argument occurs over the superiority of their dogs. Hence the entire play is connected with the matter of proposal. So the title is very much apt.
OR
(Chekhov’s one act play The Proposal’s beginning as well as its total plot, central point build on a marriage proposal of Lomov to Natalya. In this play all the three characters are seen to be anxious for marriage. On the one hand, Natalya’s father is very much keen to arrange his daughter’s marriage as his daughter has been adult enough. On the other hand, Lomov is very much interested to get married for his physical condition and social needs. From the very beginning it is seen that Lomov comes to Natalya’s house to propose her for marriage. But as he fails to propose her due to argument over Oxen Meadows, the flow of the play continues to flow. When Natalya comes to know about the proposal, she becomes desperate for marriage) but it has been too late as again the two sides engaged themselves into argument over their dogs. Hence the entire play is connected with the matter of proposal. So the title is very much apt.
