What to Focus On

  • Lomov comes to propose marriage to Natalya.
  • Chubukov first suspects that Lomov has come to borrow money.
  • The first quarrel is about Oxen Meadows.
  • Lomov is suspicious, nervous, and formal.
  • Chubukov is proud, emotional, and quarrelsome.
  • Natalya is strong-willed and argumentative.
  • Marriage is presented as an economically sensible alliance.
  • Wealth and property strongly influence family relations.
  • Trivial matters become serious conflicts because of pride.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lomov comes only to complain or argue with Chubukov, not to propose marriage.

Chubukov is sincere when he first calls Lomov affectionate names and says he has always loved him like a son.

Oxen Meadows and the dog quarrel are one single argument about the same thing.
