Anton Chekhov's The Duel Page #4

Synopsis: In ANTON CHEKHOV'S THE DUEL, escalating animosity between two men with opposing philosophies of life is played out against the backdrop of a decaying seaside resort along the Black Sea coast. Laevsky is a dissipated romantic given to gambling and flirtation. He has run off to the sea with beautiful, emotionally empty, Nadya, another man's wife. Laevsky has now grown tired of her, but two obstacles block his route to escape: he is broke, and he faces the absolute enmity of Von Koren, an arrogant zoologist and former friend who can no longer tolerate Laevsky's irresponsibility. Soon Laevsky confronts Von Koren, accusing him of meddling in his affairs, but Von Koren maneuvers a criticism Laevsky makes of their mutual friend, Dr. Samoylenko, into a challenge to a duel. Utterly discombobulated and honor bound, Laevsky agrees to this absurdity -- a duel it shall be! A duel as comically inadvertent as it is inevitable.

That disgusting.

Knight, what are we waiting for?

Well gentlemen, I propose

What is the formality?

Make an end to his knights misunderstood.

Shake hands, let

go home and drink for peace.

I have nothing against that.

If you feel guilt'm ready to apologize.

No need, I got up early, drove

8 miles from the city.

For just drink for peace. The

me says that grief is out of formality.

Oh I get it. Andr He wants to come

home and figure magnanimously.

But a duel is a duel.

I want to fight.

I want to fight.

Who remembers the

inscriptions by the laws?

To get them clear, yes. Pass it, pass it

I have a duel with someone.

Just keep your distance that is all.

Docha, please do not be walking

like a penguin tides me.

My friend, so good.

Beautiful Nadia.

You are here.

Forward.

The boat goes, why do not you come?

Then goodbye.

Goodbye.

If, at the end of the Earth.
