Anton Chekhov conceived of this play, which turned out to be his last, as a comedy,designating it “A Comedy in Four Acts” and even emphasizing to the Moscow Art Theatre that the last act should be “merry and frivolous.”  He suggested that some portions were even farcical.  Nevertheless, most interpretations and theatrical productions have emphasized its tragic aspects. It is understandable why the playwright’s intentions have been largely disregarded; the subject is a serious and depressing one including the family’s loss of their ancestral home and removal from it and other sad developments as well.  The destruction of the orchard also represents the destruction of illusions—sad, to be sure, but perhaps hopeful.

 

Thus, as the inevitable change in society with the dawning of the 20th Century comes, the play represents this time period and portrays an end of an aristocratic era with both tragic and comic elements.  The play is best characterized as a tragicomedy.

Can you use child bearer in a sentsnce
stellarik [79]

Child bearer is another term for a mother. Like "birth giver" "mother" ect.

Yes, you can use it in a sentence.

"She is adopted but the kind woman in the red dress is the child bearer."

"Susan is a child bearer of the sweet little girl."

I have no idea if these are even good examples, but it is a strange phrase anyways, I hope I helped.

2. Infer In lines 126-136, Maya tells a story about a student who immigrates
kaheart [24]

<u>Explanation:</u>

It adds details to the plot's rising action since Maya is painted as been more intimidated because of her view that she's about to face something scary and embarrassing just as it happened to the student who immigrated to the United States from Cambodia.

Remember, any descriptions of incidents that create suspense, interest, or tensions are referred to as the rising action.
