EFT Report, New Delhi: The Play is a collection of four different stories written by Anton Chekhov.
The Avenger: The story is woven around a cuckold husband who becoming aware of illicit relationship of his wife with her lover turns avengeful towards them. This is an aborted avenge as calculating aftermaths of each option, he deserts his avenge. The story is a polite satire to the moral corruption of society where the common man is frightful of low while the so called preservers of low and society are unseen culprits.
A Work of art: In payment for the doctor’s saving his life, a young man gives Dr. Gupta an antique candelabra which feature two female figures in the costume of eve. However the Doctor finds it obscene and tries to avoid accepting the gift but ends up with the antique piece. The candelabra then travels from the doctor to a lawyer to a comedian who subsequently sells it to a junk dealer. Young man buys it from there and gifts it again to the doctor telling him that now it forms a pair as he has found the other piece...what goes around comes around.
The Proposal: The proposal describes the odd code ship of Govind, who seeks marriage with his neighbor’s daughter. The man and the woman he wants to a marry fight before he can make his proposal, fight he proposes, and fight after she agrees to marry him. They tend towards a fight every time they speak to one another and while this alarms father at first, he decide that the two just like to fight with each other. In the end, the father calls this last fight the launching of marital bliss, thought bit is doubtful that a couple can fight all the time and achieve anything like bliss.
The Pianist: Artists who comes from smaller cities with a lot of zeal, vigor and aspiration end up being an object of mockery and entertainment for people of high society after years of struggle. Over a period of time they loose the zeal, vigor, energy and ambitions. It is a story which shows how young, talented and ambitious end-up doing petty jobs just to make their ends meet. It poses a question as to till when will the “have no’s” continue to ridicule and disrespect the “have not’s”
