Long Answer questions (120-150 words)
Answer: The title of the lesson ‘The Proposal’ is very much justified.
Lomov was neighbour of Chubukovs. He was 35 and suffering from various ailments. He wanted to lead a quiet and regular life.
He went to Chubukovs to propose Natalya. He was hesitant in expressing himself. Chubukov prompted him to express himself. Chubukov was happy to hear about the proposal and assured Lomov that Natalya would also accept it.
Lomov instead of talking to Natalya about the proposal, got into an argument over Oxen Meadow. Lomov got so disappointed that he walked off. When Chubukov told Natalya that Lomov wanted to make a marriage proposal, she asked her father to call back Lomov.
This time also Lomov is not able to express himself to Natalya. They indulge into another argument about their dogs.
Finally Chubukov prompts Natalya and Lomov to accept the proposal.
Thus we can see that the whole play revolves around the proposal and its acceptance. Hence the tile is justified.
Answer: In this play Lomov wants to make a marriage proposal to Natalya. Her father Chubukov is happy to hear about it.
Lomov and Natalya get into an argument over ownership of Oxen Meadows. They hurl abuses against forefathers of their families. Lomov gets disappointed and walks off.
When Natalys comes to know that Lomov had come to make a marriage proposal she asks her father to call back Lomov. And lomov does come back.
This is the first evidence that arguments cannot not help anyone. While understanding good intentions has a profound effect.
Later, once again all of them get into a verbal duel about their dogs. The situation become very aggressive. Another evidence that arguments do not help anyone.
Finally Chubukov reminds Natalya and Lomov about the proposal. They accept each other and get married.
Hence arguments and disputes cannot solve a problem. Acceptance paves the way for harmony and happiness.
Answer: In this play Lomov wants to make a marriage proposal to Natalya. Her father Chubukov is happy to hear about it. Natalya too wanted to accept the proposal.
On that day, when Natalya first met Lomov, she was not aware of the purpose of Lomov’s visit. Lomov did not express his proposal. During their talks they started an argument over Oxen meadows. Lomov got disappointed and walked off without telling Natalya about the proposal.
When Natalya came to know about the purpose of Lomov’s visit, she asked her father to call back Lomov. Now all the three are aware about the proposal. But they again start a verbal battle.
The main purpose was lost on both occasion.
In the first instance itself Chubkov should have informed Natalya about the purpose of Lomov’s visit. Chubukov should have helped and guided them towards a purposeful discussion.
In this manner the situation could have been dealt with in right way
