The Proposal is a short play written by Anton Chekhov in 1888. The play takes place in 19th century Russia and follows the story of a young man named Lomov who visits his neighbor, Chubukov, to propose to his daughter, Natalya. However, the proposal quickly turns into a heated argument between Lomov and Natalya, as they argue over trivial things such as the ownership of a dog and the quality of each other's estates. The play explores themes of pride, stubbornness, and the absurdity of social customs. Despite the argument, Lomov and Natalya eventually agree to marry, but Lomov ends up collapsing from exhaustion and the play ends on a humorous note. The Proposal is a classic example of Chekhov's style of writing, which is known for its subtle humor and commentary on societal norms.NATALYA STEPANOVNA. Ours! You can go on proving it for two days on end, you can go and put on fifteen dress-jackets, but I tell you they're ours, ours, ours! I don't want anything of yours and I don't want to give up anything of mine.
