THE PROPOSAL

(Textbook Questions)

Thinking about the Play

Answer: Initially Chubukov suspects that Lomov had come to borrow some money.

Chubukov is not sincere in telling Lomov that he had always loved Lomov. Because he had initially suspected Lomov and had decided not to give any money.

Chubukov told these words only after he came to know that Lomov had come to propose her daughter

 

 

Answer: When Chubukov understood that Lomov had come with a marriage proposal for Natalya, he immediately agreed. He even said that Natalya was in love with Lomov.

But I think that was not the truth. Lomov and Natalya fought with each other about ownership of Oxen Meadows and superiority of their dogs. They insulted each other’s forefathers. Natalya teased Lomov. It is clear from the text that they did not have faith on each other.
