#7 The author uses appropriate style in rendering his characters. Elucidate with refrence to any two instances.

We are only able to sync with a story through its characters. The appropriate character building is one of the major aspect needed to convey the message of the story. Chekhov has presented many themes in this drama only through two characters and has used appropriate style in rendering them relevant to the plot.

The first instance is the character built of major protagonist Svetlovidov. The major theme of the story revolves around old age , regret , reminiscence and acceptance of fate. Svetlovidov has shown all behavior and characteristics expected of an old aged, abandoned dramatist. He shows rage towards the quick fleeing nature of time and youth. The author used the opportunity of drunkenness of svetlovidov to add various facets of emotion in the story. The incoherent monologue of a drunk person, the weakness and loneliness that comes with old age, the shift of tone along with the shift in emotions and the gradual acceptance of whims of life are the components of svetlovidovs's character. These components has made his character seem more alive and real.


The second instance is the character of Nikita Ivanich. He is presented as an understanding and compassionate person who provides emotional support to Svetlovidov when he was almost ready to give up on his life. His presence provided a vent to Svetlovidov's emotion and hence we were able to know the real story of svetlovidov. He exemplified the fact that a small humanly gesture can help a person to cope with bad situation.

Hence, the author has used appropriate style in rendering his characters by making them show real emotion to elucidate theme and plot of the drama.

#8 Discuss any five themes presented in Anton Chekhov's Swan song.

Anton Chekhov Themes are the messages to take home after reading any text. They connect  plot and character to  make a piece of text meaningful. Swan song also consists of themes regarding various aspects of emotions, life lessons and reminiscence. The major five themes that I found intriguing are discussed below: 1. The effect of old age and fear of end   Svetlovidov is an old man with no one to call his family. He is weak and tired. He wants to be nourished and cared but there is no one he can turn to .The effect of old age is that it has diminished his abilities and strength to perform on the stage. Loneliness has made him to feel like he is abandoned by God himself. It is normal for such person to remember and regret his past activities and fear the end that is coming. 2. Influence of society on psychology of  a person  The contemporary society of Russia is clearly presented in this drama including its social acceptance, values and viewpoint o...

And on their way to gather information, they made lots of ethical breaches and followed unethical research practice. Animal poaching in Africa. Armand Denis indirectly supported animal hunting and poaching. No animals should be hurt during a research . Armand Denis also bribed to collect information. There are two instances where Armand Denis bribed people. He promised Pigneys with Tobacco in order to get information and to convince them to help him in his hunt of elephant king. Also in order to get the skull of that elephant, which was supposed to have four tusks, he had to promise the "African" guy with stuffs like Flash light and other things.
