Abstract
The Seagull, Anton Chekhov's play, depicts the picture of a normal character,
Tireplev Constantine; a figure of non-heroic figure having capacity of meaningful
struggle. Treplovsuffers fromproblems in his ambitions to accomplish any
meaningful goal. His repeated suicide attempt is because of his failure in his career as
a writer and also because of his failure in love with Nina. He is the victim of outside
exigencies of duty and frustration. Like modern hero, Trepllev is the victim of over
ambition, self-alignments and frustration and non-heroic death.
