INTRODUCTION 
ANTON CHEKHOV (1860-1904)
Born 29 January 1860, Russia 🇷🇺 
              He was a Russian playwright, short story writer, and also a physician. He is considered one of the most famous for the story and a pioneer of modern drama. In his work we see nuances of human behaviour, exploring the complexities of everyday life. His Notable works are The Seagull and Three Sisters.
                       ANTON CHEKHOV
         Chekhov was a physician by profession. He said, "Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my mistress."
     
Introduction of play 
                    The play "THE PROPOSAL" also known as "A Marriage Proposal," was written in 1888. The play has three major characters: Chubuko, Natalya and their neighbour Lomov. Lomov want to marry Natalya so he comes to their home and asks Subokov for his daughter's hand, That's why this play is titled "The Marriage Proposal." The play grows with an absurd conflict between Lomov and Natalya. The topic of ownership of a piece of land, oxenmedow and who's a dog is best? It is a prime example of Chekhov's skill in satirizing human nature and society.

∆DEFINITION OF FACIAL 
          
      Farcial play is a subcategory of dramatic comedy that uses improbable, humorous situations, extensive exaggeration, and violent physical humour to entertain the audience. Dramatic farcical comedy uses physical comedy, silliness, rude humour and absurdity with the main purpose of making the audience laugh.
∆Seven types of farcial 
1. Identity Centered: Revolves around the mistaken or threatened identity of the characters.
2. Attitude towards the Plot: ...
3. Wit and Manners: ...
4. Reversal of Expectations: ...
5Velocity and Speed: ...
6. Multiple and Fragile Substructures: ...
7. Use of Character Roles:
        "The Marriage Proposal "is a facial play by Anton Chekhov. Many times creates hummer by character and situation. 
  

1️⃣ Hypochondric nature 
          Lomov has hypochondria in the play. He consistently expresses imaginary health concerns that range from heart palpitations to general discomfort, his foot died from time to time, and he is down to earth. This trait provides a source of comedic tension and underscores the character's tendency to magnify minor issues. 
          
 EX. LOMOV: My heart's palpitating awfully. ... My foot's gone to sleep. ... There's something that keeps pulling in my side.
 
  2️⃣ Brocken conversations
                  Lomov has a hypochondriac in the play so he can not speak properly and he is nervous in the play. He fears that Natalya reject his proposal. When he tried to say something he broke his problem and sometimes Natalya and Chubokov cut his topic. It generates humour for the reader.
                  
                  LOMOV: He is old, but I wouldn't take five Squeezers for him. ... Why, how can you? ... Guess is a dog; as for Squeezer, well, it's too funny to argue. ... Anybody you like has a dog as good as Squeezer ... you may find them under every bush almost. Twenty-five roubles would be a handsome price to pay for him.

NATALYA STEPANOVNA: There's some demon of contradiction in you today, Ivan Vassilevitch. First, you pretend that the Meadows are yours; now, that Guess is better than Squeezer.

  3️⃣ Absurd conflict :
                Both Niebour Natalya and Chubukov have absurd conflicts against Lomove. They fight for a ownership of piece of land oxen meadow and whose dog is best. Both are ridiculous topics although they lead to over-the-top arguments even fighting to go from their forefathers and give for them using abuse. Both are trivial matters but they illustrate they exaggerate matters.
                
 LOMOV: Never mind about my people! The Lomovs have all been honourable people, and not one has ever been tried for embezzlement, like your grandfather!

CHUBUKOV: You Lomovs have had lunacy in your family, all of you!

NATALYA STEPANOVNA: All, all, all!       
        
                 It is a facial play because, above all points absurd conversation, broken conversation and hypochondriac nature create humour. People like humour play so it is so famous play.

Vrinda enters the room and asks, "What are you doing and Why is it all scattered ?"  Shivesh answers, "I am searching for Grandpa's old book where he wrote his daily schedule."  Vrinda questions, "But why do you want the book at this time?"  Shivesh insists, "You do what I say, don't bombard me with a bunch of questions."        After a while, Vrinda thinks and then looks behind the cupboard, and the book is there. "Here it is," Vrinda gives it to him vigorously.         Shivesh looks at the book as if he's found water in the desert. His grandpa, Mr. Sharikant , was a diarist, naturalist, and adventurer.         Shivesh cleans the dust off the book and opens it. He reads about a treasure in a forest. He's also an adven

The chief reason for this change is found in the weakness of the Tory party. In the middle of century the whigs had hardly any opposition. 2.Commercial and Imperial Expansion :  Under the pacific management of the great Whig minister Walpole, and owing to the successful wars of his successors, the eighteenth century saw an immense growth in the wealth and importance of the British Empire.  3. The French revolution : During the century new ideas were germinating; new forces were gathering strength; and the Revolution.  Liberty, equity and fraternity were the wach words of French revolution. Features of the age 1. The Double Tendency :  Two movements can be clearly observedin the writing of the time. (i)The allegiance to the old order of classicism.
