In Anton Chekhov's 1904 play The Cherry Orchard, a Russian family who is used to a life of riches begin to experience the hardships of poverty. Due to an extreme amount of carelessness and selfishness, the mother of the estate Lyubov Andreevna Ranvskaya loses the funds that have been allowing her to keep her family in a comfortable position financially. Throughout the play, Chekhov uses many items to represent symbolism, such as the cherry orchard itself to represent the golden age of aristocracy. Without all of the symbolism and imagery throughout the play, Chekhov’s message would be lost. Chekhov’s message for The Cherry Orchard was to show how brutal change can be, but also how necessary change is, in order for the world to fully develop into its primal form. Three of the most important symbols and images Chekhov uses to to create an understanding of this transition of time are the cherry orchard, the keys to the estate that Varya holds, and the ending scene where Firs is left outside of the estate to die. The cherry orchard is truly the most important and iconic symbol throughout the play. Not only is it the title of the play, but it is the symbol that is constantly referenced throughout the text, and it has an overwhelming amount of sentimental value to the aristocratic family. The estate has been with the family for decades. All the family has ever known is a life of wealth and comfortability. They have grown up watching the cherry trees blossom. Throughout the years…

It is very clear that her desires are associated with sex and alcohol, however, it is questionable if the Cemeteries was the death of her relatives in Belle Reve or her own demise, and if her…

This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

Walking out onto the green grass of the Braden River Soccer Fields, I have butterflies in my stomach. It was a hot, beautiful day with the sun beating down and not a cloud in the sky. I look at the small, red clubhouse building and see four of my teammates sitting down against the wall of it. I hardly knew anyone on my team, except a boy named Noah with blond, curly hair and pale skin. As my team showed up one by one, nobody said anything to each other. Before the game started, our coach, Coach…
