I have never seen or read Chekov's plays until my Russian class at UNCG. I have heard many things about Chekov's writings from many people especially my sister. University back where I come from, Georgia, is emphasizing greatly in literature, and my sister who is six ears older then me, had to read most of the plays. I was partly ready for what to expect, I was ready for kind of tragedy and some humor in it as a mean of comic relief.

When I went to the play, after first few scenes, I realized that it is going to be an interesting play. I was raised on watching plays in theaters, in Georgia; one will not be considered educated if not visiting theaters occasionally. I learned during that practice, that most major plays that are staged should be never liked or disliked. They should be understood, and one must have own opinion formed about it.

While and after seeing Chekov's play, I was very shocked by extremely dramatic setting. I didn't expect the play to be so heavy and depressing.

It was amazing to see Russian people in high class wanting to go back working, even though not knowing what it will be like. They were just in pursue of happiness without knowing what to changes to make but willing to try anything even work. One of the three sisters wanted to take this change and pursue happiness ...
