Discuss the Social Life of the-then Russia.

Social life

Answer:   In the one-act play The Proposal, the playwright Anton Chekhov portrayed a fine social life of the bourgeoisie in Russia through three dramatic characters. The then Russian people’s major livelihood was agriculture. They were apparently very polite-speaking persons. But when the fact of their interest came, they became desperate to full that. They considered marriage as a social necessity. There was no place of love in marriage. Just as One character Lomov wanted to marry his neighbor Chubukov’s daughter Natalya only to fulfill his own sake. On the other hand, once other characters savagely behaved with Lomov when situation went against them. Again they behaved sweetly with him when the matter came about their own interest regarding marriage of Natalya. So in that society, all ran after profits.
