An analysis of Anton Chekov's The Bear Anton Chekov's The Bear
reflects his deep sense of humour by introducing characters, perhaps,
from his real life experience or a creation basing on things that
sometimes happen in Russia. The entire play is centred upon two
characters Smimov and Popov. It shows a sense of detachment from reality
more tending towards a farce. The element of farce is brought to
heighten the emotional intensity. Smimov realizes that the hate may be
culminating into love and that is the whole farce of this play. Quick
changes that take place in this drama could only be accomplished in the
art of Farce.

There
is more of dialogue in the entire play than action and that in fact
contributes to the farce of the play. Popov tells Smimov that it was a
commitment to her husband before his death. She would repay the money
that he had borrowed from Smimov, the landlord of the house. In a
sudden change of topic, Smimov tells her that he has refused twelve
women and nine refused him This triggers a very big verbal fight
resulting each accusing each of foul play. In the middle of the talk she
loses her poise and calls him a crude bear. In the same fit of temper
she rushes to fetch her husband's pistols. Here comes a tremendous
change when she finds that she didn't know to handle the weapon. She
succumbs to her feminine weakness. Debt is forgotten. Smimov
realizes that she is helpless and his sympathy transforms into love. The
seriousness that is shown in the beginning of Smimov's purpose of visit
to Popov's house is no more there. When Smimov says that if she fights I
will shoot her like a chicken has no sting. Words sound empty . Smimov's
strange farcical adventure from merciless debt collector to dotage
brings out the real entertainment, though a farcical comedy. The
ludicrousness of the two falling in love is what Anton Chekov's to show
in the play The Bear . Perhaps there is a suggestion that the sudden
love that develops is something that happens in life.. That is what
Chekov tries to project!

The dialogue between Smimov and Popov provide the fun. He
comes to demand the money that he had lent to her husband before his
death. She remained in mourning for long and Smimov was eager to collect
the money from her. She promised her husband to repay the borrowed
money. It was a commitment. The arguments generate needless heat.
