- W2057074391 abstract "IN THREE SISTERS, Vershinin considers what it would be like to start life all over again: If that happened, I think the thing you'd want most of all would be not to repeat yourself. Repetition is a central thematic and structural element in Chekhov's major plays, each of which repeats the other in general conception and in numerous detailsl His frustrated protagonists want to break out of the pattern of repetition and realize their desire for freedom in a new life. Time passes, they undergo the suffering of change, and they are len to begin their old lives over again. Such is the familiar nature of Chekhov's actionless plays. Although Chekhov was a masterful storyteller with an abundant supply of new situations and plots, each time we again encounter one of his plays we are reminded that we, like the characters, have experienced this before. All literature relies on repetition as a generator of meaning and deals with contradictions-in modern works often unresolved-between what is and what is desired; but repetition usually means repetition with a difference: elements recur with important changes as the narrative advances. Chekhov's later plays are unique, before Beckett, in the extent to which it is the lack of change that is significant and in the extent to which the contradiction between what is and what is desired remains unresolved. In the context of the history of modern drama, Chekhov's departures from classical naturalism now appear inevitable and lead, in the postnaturalist plays of Pinter and Beckett, to an emphasis on the limitations of naturalistic dialogue-the formal and human limitations of dramatic speech. My purpose here is neither to show a continuity in modem drama nor to assert the permanence of a Chekhovian tradition, but rather to show how, despite its apparent disjointedness, its series of erratic stabs at the spectator, a play by Chekhov produces a sense of order and wholeness which remains. The antagonist is the form itself, and the form is an interlocked series of unincremental repetitions." @default.
