"I read all sort of remarkable books, but I am in no way able to make out my own inclinations, what it is I really want, whether strictly speaking, to live or to shoot myself; nevertheless, I always carry a revolver on me. Here it is."
Characterization is key in Act II of The Cherry Orchard. Charlotte, Yepikhodov, Dunyasha, Anya, Trofimov etc. I find it hard to see these characters in real life tough, whatever the reason, it goes beyond my comprehension. Maybe is because I still find paradoxical to employ play, comedy and realism in the same context, since in literal terminology, they contradict, or really don't match up with one another.
Charlotte for example, seems to be as an exaggerated character, her personality is vague, and this lack of structure is hard to assimilate. Who doesn't know his own age? I mean that just ridiculous. On the other hand, Lyubov Andreyevna seems like a realistic woman, her characteristics are clear and somewhat plain: disfunctional, rich madwoman, acting according to her role. Dunyasha caught my attention due her naive being, she would be someone I would like, and that seems innocent, real enough. Despite being exaggeratedly overwhelmed with Yashas classiness, both transmit reality in an universal theme. Throughout the evolution of the act, characters seem more real. I don't want to take into account the symbol of the orchard, which acquired significant magnitude thanks to Trofimovs rethoric. I would like to give the benefit of the doubt to the play, considering it is bonded to "reaity".
