The Seagull by Anton Chekhov

  This play was truly a lot of twist and turns! Chekhov created a play that wasn't your average play, this play gives you a sense of reality and real things people in this world think about and the false reality of what they want to live up to. This play also made me think about what was truly important to me and if relationships matter more to me or does my career do. We would like to think that many of us have a "healthy balance" but I would personally say relationships matter more to me then my career. In this play they Treplev, Trigorin, Nina, and Arkadina make their career and how successful they are or want to become their identity. They are truly obsessed with them being the next big thing!

In the beginning of the text it is said that everything was still, there was no creation on the earth until two gods come together and conceived to make humanity, animals first.

After they decided to get rid of animals these gods decided okay lets make people from mud, sounds too familiar doesn't it, that didn't work out for them so they created man out of wood. The first chapter alone stopped me in my tracks. In the bible it says,  God, as in Yahweh , spoke a word and created the heaven and earth. In the book of Genesis it says how God created earth, day, night, animals, sea, and man within 7 days.  As the reading contin...
