The Proposal, by Anton Chekhov.
Manage episode 428321047 series 3527480
The Proposal is a one act comic farce by Anton Chekhov. In Chekhov's Russia, marriage was a means of economic stability for most people. They married to gain wealth and possessions.
In this play, the concept of marriage is being satirized to show the real purpose of marriage - materialistic gain rather than true love. (Adapted from Wikipedia.)
