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.
