The Cherry Orchard (8)

Tonight, I finished reading Act 3 and Oh my goodness. Things are really stirring up now. I thought that Varya came out of nowhere with the whole fight with Epikhodov. Like one second everyone was all happy and friend, well not exactly, but Varya just like had a moment there. I laughed when she was like xhasing him out the door and then she picked up Fiers's stick and tried to like whack him out the door. haha. And then Lopakhin came in and he kind of sounded drunk but like it was kind of funny. I wish Varya would have hurt him with the stick thing. haha. Oh and right when Gaev came in with tears I like knew he didn't buy the Orchard. Like I thought maybe he had tears of joy but no. When Lopakhin said that he had bought it, my mouth dropped, like what a jerk. Like you of all people should know what kind of emotional bridge that family was on and you just broke the bridge and let them fall into the water. He was being all braggy about it too, like "oh now I'm gonna make villas, you should have listened to me blah blah blah." I would have like killed him. I feel so sorry for Lubov, like it made me sad just thinking of her crying in the corner. And you would think that at the end of Act 3, when she was crying, Peter would have some more sympathy. Instead her just stands there. I guess he's just getting her back for earlier. Awe, poor Lubov. Well, I'll read on tomorrow.

The Cherry Orchard (7)

Tonight, I just broke into Act 3. I can tell that everyone is starting to get agitated like really easily. Like Lubov and Peter just keep going at it about how Peter doesn't have a woman, but at least Lubov has a lover in Paris, but he's a nobody. Like it's kind of nonsense to me. haha. And I totally think Lubov meant what she said when she was saying to Peter how he was not above love. But, she can't really say that because aren't Peter and Anya having an affair? And she like even says that he can marry her. Oh wait, I guess what he means by the "above love" part is that they're too in love and too good to get married and show their love. I'll stick with that. I want to know who bought the Orchard! Like of course the guy leaves without saying who bought it. I hope the uncle did because it would be sad to see them all have to leave. I also thought Peter was much older by the way everyone describes him, but in act 3 you find out he's only like 26 or 27. That's not old. haha. I consider Fiers to be old. He's like Grandpa over there trying to be with all the young people. Well, I'll read on soon!

The Cherry Orchard (6) [Thursday]

Tonight, I finished reading Act 2 of The Cherry Orchard. It's really surprising how realistic it seems, like I could imagine this in real life. But Lopakhin does not shut up about the freaking Orchard being sold! Like what a downer to have to be reminded of it all the time, although they are really good at ignoring him. I thought the drunk guy was funny, but I can't believe she gve him the gold! Like how stupid do you have to be! Shouldn't you be saving money for the Orchard, or food because it seems like they are having problems with that too. Haha. I like how Varya got scared over like nothing. Like it was just a drunk dude on his way to the police station. like really. I didn't realize that Peter and Anya were in love! Or to them, more than love. It's so romantic how they practically hide their love from everyone. Especially at the end when they go off for the river to hide. I'm getting into the play now, and I understand the characters a little more. But their names are so crazy! Oh well, I'm learning them. I'll start Act 3 on Monday. :]

The Cherry Orchard (5)

Tonight, I guess I got throught a tiny portion of Act 2 in The Cherry Orchard. Lopakhin keeps ragging on everyone to sell the house and the orchard as a villa. It's really starting to annoy the hell out of me this person. Like if they wanted to do that, they would have said yes already. I don't know why Dunyasha and Yasha like aren't allowed to meet or something..? Well, anyway, I thought the aunt didn't like Gaev, so why would she send money to them. And Gaev is still going on about the loan. Like to me, it seems as if he has A LOT of faith put into this. I have a feeling that it's not going to end the way he wants it to, which will be sad. But then I can say told you so. haha. And back to the villas, I don't really know what villas are. I'll look it up right now, villa- a country residence or estate. Oh never mind, that's what I thought it was. Well if that's a villa what is the orchard and the house now? Wouldn't it be the same thing? Hmm. Well, I think maybe turning it into a villa and making a lot of money off of it, as Lopakhin says, is an actual good idea. It's just annoying that he keeps saying it. Well, I'll read more tomorrow.

The Cherry Orchard (4) [Tuesday]

Today, I finished with Act one of The Cherry Orchard. I didn't realize it until now that this is an example of a realism play. I feel so stupid. haha. It being realism explains why it is kind of boring so far but I'm starting to get into it. I just wonder if they are going to be able to keep the house. The plan for a loan from Gaev seems like a good plan, but you don't always get the loan. And it seems kind of stupid for him to rely on that plan for saving the Orchard when you can't even be sure you're getting the loan. I guess I answered my question from my last post about the 240 roubles being a joke. That I thought was a little mean to just be like oh yeah sure he'll give you the money. Pischin seems like she really needs it too. Oh well, I guess she's going to have some problems when the rent or interest is do. It's kind of weird that everyone was up so late, like that's really late, for realism anyways. I can understand how Anya is like half-dead, I would be too if I was up for that long. haha. Well, anyway, I'm starting to get the vibe of this play. I really want to know if they can save the Orchard. Well, I'll just have to keep reading.

The Cherry Orchard (3)

Tonight, I continued reading The Cherry Orchard. I didn't read that much, but for me, it's just so hard to get through. Well, it's not that hard it's just a little confusing. I started from when all of the characters were talking about villas and stuff, and how they'll be everywhere. Then Pischin keeps bothering everyone for 240 roubles. But, it seems very obvious that everyone so far in this play is very low on money. Then the sun starts to rise, and they realize that they've been up for a while. But suddenly Lubov's son, Peter, comes in and they start crying together about how Peter looks really old and decayed. Then Pischin is still asking about the money so Lubov tells Gaev to do it and I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or if Lubov was actually serious. If she wasn't that's pretty funny but kind of mean to Pischin. haha. So, I'll continue with my reading tomorrow.

The Cherry Orchard (2) [Thurday]

Well, I continued read the cherry orchard. It's still kind of blah. Like Lopakhin is explaining of how to make money out of the house and the orchard by knocking it down and what not. No one really seemed to happy with the idea so I wonder what will happen with that. And Fiers starts talking about the dried cherries and how they used to make money off of making jam and jelly. But, it seems like he doesn't remember too much about it. Lopakhin is also talking about villas and how they will be everywhere soon. I'm also guessing the Dunyasha is like the maid or something because the way Fiers was like get me my cream, it's just rude. So, yeah. Gotta Read more.

The Cherry Orchard (1) [Wednesday]

Alright, so I started reading The Cherry Orchard. It's kind of boring so far, like Epikhodov proposed to Dunyasha, but no one seems to really care. And the other people have just come in from vacation I guess. There's notmuch going on. Anya keeps talking about Paris and how it was snowing and stuff there. Then she's mad because I guess that the house that they're in is being sold in August. Lopakihn was also explaining the story of when he was getting hit by his father, and he was all bloody and stuff. The play seems like it could be interesting, but I just have to get in the zone of it. Back to how no one cares about the proposal, I thought it was kind of funny how Anya just ignored her and was like oooo my old room. haha. Well, yeah, I'll get more into it as I read it.

Six Characters in Search of an Author (7) [Tuesday]

Today, I finished reading six characters. The ending, is absolutely depressing. Well, everything just happened so fast. Like, I had no idea that that was even possible. I'm guessing the little boy killed himself, which how did he even get the gun? I'm confused about the little girl... Did she like die in the fountain? Or was that part pretend? Urgh. This play, was incredibly crazy. It jumps from one thing to the next. So I guess, that those characters really were in reality. And the manager, like what the hell is your problem? The little kid is dead and all you can think about is how you wasted the day. Psh. I feel so bad for the Mother. What she went through through this whole play is just horrible. Like, cut her some slack. Well, in the end, I actually really enjoyed the play, especially the ending. On to the next!

Six Characters in Search of an Author (6)

Tonight, I continued reading Six Characters. I understand it now, although I didn't read to much because I really like it so I don't want to finish it just yet. I just read past the part where the father is telling the manager about being more real than him and how he needs to let them act out the scenes because if he doesn't it is just suppresing him. Then, now, I am up to where they are setting up the garden scene and they are trying to put all of the scenes together to run smoothly. They are rehearsing the little kids and then the son id about to leave but the manager stops him. thats all i read up to tonight. I'll most likely be done very very soon.

Six Characters in Search of an Author (5)

Today, I continued reading Six Characters. I'm really starting to get the hang of this play, even though it took me three acts to actually get it. So, one question that has been bothering me is, wait, I understand that the characters need an author to finish their story but why won't they just shut the hell up and do what the Manager tells them to. I mean really, if you were really so eager to finish your story why would you delay it by fighting with the Manager. Well, anyways, what happened between the Step-Daughter and the Father? Did they have an affair or what? I think they did. And, I guess, that the Mother knows and she is just so mortified by it that she crys constantly during the setup of this play. I don't even really know what the point of the Mother is, she wasn't really needed through the whole thing. She was just kind of... there. Right now I am at the point of the Father fighting with the Manager and the Actors because they called the six characters reality an illusion and the Manager is starting to figure out that they are more real then he will ever be. Well, almost done, can't wait to see how it ends!

Six Characters in Search of an Author (4)

Alright, I think I can say for sure now that I understand what is going on. The six characters are acting out what happened with the last author who tried to make the play, but he decided not to put it on stage. So, the six characters went searching for another author to finish their story so they all may live for eternity. As explained to me today by my theatre teacher. Thank God. Well, so far the Manager has the characters acting out the scenes of has already happened and the Manager is having the prompter copying down key points of what is happening. Oh and why isn't the play named seven characters in search of an author because there is also Madame Pace...? Well, anyways I also think the Manager should just let the characters perform the real, whole, truth instead of fighting with the Step-daughter about how she should change the scene with the Father. And the question of the day for me is, why is the Mother freaking out about Madame Pace when they are just continuing on of what they already have. Ugh. Whatever, I'll be finished soon so I'll just have to be patient.

Six Characters in Search of an Author (3)

Well, I'm understanding it now. Maybe, Kind of, I'm not sure. I'm guessing that the characters are telling a real life story because it seems like there is some tension between the characters. Also the actors seem to be very angry, like why though? The show the characters put on seemed like it would be a very good play. I think the actors are just jealous that the characters upstaged them. Also, why did the boy have a gun? Was he actually going to kill himself? So many questions. Well, anyway I'm up to the part where they are setting up the stage and the MANAGER is telling the PROMPTER to copy the scenes short hand. Well I still need to read more to figure things out.
