Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the characteristics of Madame Lubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya, who is a protagonist of Anton Chekhov's last play, "The Cherry Orchard," written in 1903. The paper disusses the character's role in the plot of the play. It shows how Madam Ranevskaya's coping skills play a large part in the structure of her character, as well as the overall structure of the play.

From the Paper:

"Anton Chekhov created Mme. Ranevskaya's character for a very specific reason: to symbolize old aristocrat society being unable to cope with the modern times and to display how the new order of things, people of serf families (in this play Lopahin) coming into power, was inevitable and took the power away from the old aristocrats. When The Cherry Orchard was written, Chekhov wanted one major theme to be the inevitability of change. The way that he chose to show this, was by using Russian history as his bases. Old aristocratic Russian society was taken over by previous serfs, who had a whole new way of doing thing. In this play, Mme. Ranevskaya represents Old Russian aristocrats, the orchard itself symbolizes Old Russia, and Lopahin plays the part of the new order of things."
