Characters tend to speak in ways that skirt around issues rather than addressing them directly, a concept known as subtext. In opposition to much of the melodramatic theatre of the 19th century, lurid actions (such as Treplyov's suicide attempts) are kept offstage. Like the rest of Chekhov's full-length plays, The Seagull relies upon an ensemble cast of diverse, fully developed characters. It centres on the romantic and artistic conflicts between four theatrical the ingenue Nina, the fading leading lady Irina Arkadina, her son the experimental playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin. Translated by Julius West The Seagull ( "Chayka"), written in 1895, is the first of what are generally considered to be Anton Chekhov's four major plays. ![]()
