Title : The Seagull - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov - Book
Summary :
"My father and mother don't want me to come here. They say it's bohemian here... they're afraid I'll become an actress... But I'm drawn to this lake like a seagull... My heart is full of you." Nina will become an actress, but she will distance herself from the writer Treplev, who one day symbolically placed a seagull he had just killed at her feet: "That's how I'll soon kill myself."
But in these four tableaux that are the acts of the play created in 1896, the plot matters less than the constellation of diverse characters attracted by the enchanting lake, less also than the banal words, yet saturated with meaning, that they address to themselves as well as to others and which speak of the difficulty of communicating. Insignificant beings? Outwardly, Georges Pitoëff rightly remarked, because "the inner fire devours them. They are brothers and sisters of Dostoyevsky's characters."
