The Poetics of Human Suffering in Anton Chekhov’s Tragedies

Abstract

In spite of many critics’ claim that Anton Chekhov’s tragedies have uniquely new styles and issues of writing, this research studies his noted tragedies Ivanov,The Seagull,Uncle Vanya,Three Sisters,and The Cherry Orchardas strongly deferential to the poetics of human suffering found in tragedies written so far in terms of their styles of setting, plot, characterization, dialogue,and other elements of tragedy. In other elements, it mainly observes in them the philosophical concepts, contemporary aesthetic movements, and use of the figuratives Chekhov’s simultaneously and diligently exercised.
