The summary of the work of A. P. Chekhov “The Cherry Orchard”
Step 1
A room that is still called a nursery. Lopakhin and Dunyasha are waiting for Ranevskaya and everyone who went to meet her from the station. Lopakhin remembers how Ranevskaya felt sorry for him in her childhood. Lopakhin reproaches Dunyasha for the fact that she behaves like a young lady. Appears. Epihodov. Entering, he drops the bouquet. Epihodov complains to Lopakhin that with him every day something unfortunate happens. Epihodov leaves. Dunyasha reports that Yepihodov proposed to her. Two crews approach the house. Appear Ranevskaya, Anya, Charlotte, Varya, Gay, Simeonov-Pishchik. Ranevskaya admires the nursery, says she feels herself a child here. Left alone with Varya, Anya tells her about her trip to Paris: “My mother lives on the fifth floor, I come to her, she has some Frenchmen, ladies, an old pater with a book, and smoked, uncomfortable… She had already sold her mansion near Menton, she had nothing left, nothing. I also did not have a penny left, just

Field, old chapel, old bench. Charlotte talks about herself: she does not have a passport, she does not know her age, her parents were circus performers, after the death of her parents, a German woman taught her to be a governess. Epihodov sings romances under a guitar, is drawn before Dunyasha. She tries to please Yasha. Enter Ranevskaya, Gayev and Lopakhin, who still convinces Ranevskaya to give the land to the dachas. Neither Ranevskaya nor Gayev heard his words. Ranevskaya regrets that she spends a lot and makes no sense: she goes to a cheesy restaurant, eats and drinks a lot, gives a lot for tea. Yasha declares that he can not hear Gaev’s voices without laughing. Lopakhin tries to shout to Ranevskaya, reminding of the auction. However, the brother and sister argue that “cottages and gardeners – it’s so vulgar.” Ranevskaya herself feels uncomfortable. Ranevskaya’s husband died of champagne. She met with another, went abroad with him, spent three years courting the subject of her passion when he fell ill. In the end, he abandoned her, ripped off and fell in with another. Ranevskaya returned to Russia to her daughter. In response to Lopakhin’s reasonable suggestions, she tries to persuade him to talk about marrying Vary. Appears Firs from Gaeva’s coat. Firs considers the liberation of the peasants a misfortune. Enter Trofimov, who is renewing his conversation with Gayev and Ranevskaya yesterday about the “proud man”: “We must stop admiring ourselves… We just need to work… There are very few of us working in Russia, while the vast majority of the intelligentsia that I know, nothing does not seek, does nothing and can not yet work… All are serious, everyone has strict faces, everyone talks only about important things, they philosophize… all the good talk we have for that only, “Lopakhin objects to him that he works from morning till night, he agrees that there are few honest, decent people in the world.” Gayv pompously recites a monologue addressed to mother nature. the audience is constantly uttering sketchy phrases that are in no way connected with each other. The passer-by asks for alms, and Ranevskaya gives him gold. Varya tries desperately to leave, Ranevskaya wants to hold her back, telling her that she married her for Lopakhin, and Anna remains alone with Trofimov. her, that no higher than love, calling forth a Woman “All Russia -. our garden. The earth is great and beautiful, there are many wonderful places on it. Think, Anya: your grandfather, great-grandfather and all your ancestors were serf owners who owned living souls, and really with every cherry in the garden, with every leaf, from every trunk human beings do not look at you, do not you hear voices… Owning the living souls – because it has transformed all of you who lived before, and now Living, so that your mother, you, uncle no longer notice that you Live in debt, at someone else’s expense, at the expense of those people whom you do not let go beyond the front… We are behind at least two hundred years, we do not have anything exactly yet, there is no definite relation to the past, we only philosophize, complain to longing or drinking vodka. It’s so clear that to start living in the present, we must first redeem our past, end it, and it can only be redeemed by suffering, only by extraordinary, uninterrupted labor. “Petya calls Anya to throw in the well the keys to the farm and be free like the wind Owning the living souls – after all it has transformed all of you who lived before, and now the Living, so that your mother, you, the uncle no longer notice that you are living in debt, at someone else’s expense, at the expense of those people whom you do not let go further than the front… We are behind at least two hundred years, we do not have anything exactly yet, there is no definite relation to the past, we just philosophize, complain about longing or drink vodka.

Step 3
Ball in the house Ranevskaya. Charlotte shows card tricks. Pischik is looking for someone to borrow money. Ranevskaya says that the ball was started inappropriately. Gaev went to the auction to buy an estate by proxy aunt in her name. Ranevskaya insistently demands Vary to marry Lopakhin. Varya responds that she can not make him an offer, but he either is silent, or jokes, and everything is getting richer. Yasha informs cheerfully that Epihodov has broken a billiard cue. Ranevskaya urges Trofimova to finish her studies, shares her doubts with him about leaving for Paris: her lover throws her telegrams. She had already forgotten that he had robbed her, and did not want to be reminded of it. In response to the reproaches of Trofimov in inconsistency, she advises him to have a mistress. Varya expels Epikhodov. Gayev returns, cries, complains that he did not eat anything all day and suffered greatly. It turns out that I own the estate and Lopakhin bought it. Lopakhin is proud that he bought the estate, “which is more beautiful than anything in the world, I bought an estate where my grandfather and father were slaves… Come and see how Yermolai Lopakhin has an ax in the cherry orchard! We’ll set up dachas, and our grandsons and great-grandsons they will see a new life here! ” Anya comforts the weeping Ranevskaya, she convinces that the whole life is ahead: “We will plant a new garden, more luxurious than this, you will see it, you will understand, and joy, a quiet, deep joy will fall on your soul.”
Step 4
The departing gather things. Saying goodbye to the men, Ranevskaya gives them her purse. Lopakhin is going to Kharkov. Lopakhin tries to give Trofimov a debt, he refuses: “Mankind goes to the highest truth, to the highest happiness, as possible on earth, and I’m in the forefront!” Lopakhin reports that Gaev took the place of an employee in the bank, but doubts that he will stay long in the new place. Ranevskaya worries whether the patient was sent to the hospital, and arranges Varya and Lopakhin for an explanation in private. Varya informs Lopakhin that she was hired in the housekeeper. Lopakhin never makes a proposal. Saying goodbye to Anya, Ranevskaya says that she is leaving for Paris, where she will live on the money sent by her Yaroslavl aunt. Anya plans to pass the exam in the gymnasium, then work, help her mother and read books along with her. Scharlotta asks Lopakhin to find a new place for her. Gayev: “All of us are abandoned, Varya is leaving… We suddenly became unnecessary.” Suddenly, Pischik appears, giving out debts to those present. The English found white clay on his land, and he rented the land for rent. Left alone, Gaev and Ranevskaya say goodbye to the house and the garden. From afar they are called Anya and Trofimov. The hosts leave, lock the door to the key. Appears Firs, who was forgotten in the house. He is sick. “There is a distant sound, just like from the sky, the sound of a bursting string, dying, sad.” There is a silence, and only one can hear how far in the garden an ax is knocking on a tree. ” and he rented the land for rent.
