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.

Answer:
The poems have different speakers.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete. According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:
- Frost’s opinions changed through time.
- The poems have different speakers.
- Frost’s speakers represent his own views.
- The poems were written at different locations.
In this question, we see two different poems written by the same author, Robert Frost. In the first poem, Frost talks about the building of a wall, and how this is perceived not only by the person building the wall, but by others. In the second case, Frost talks about a calf, and how this symbolizes the beginning of the spring. The views that are expressed about spring are different because the speakers in the poem are different as well. Therefore, they each focus on different elements of spring.
