Detailed explanation-1: -12) If according to Chubukob and Natalya, Lomovs are not “honourable people”, why do they still consider Lomov’s proposal? Natalya can take care of her father if she marriage close by. They were exaggerating in the argument and didn’t mean it. They understand that honour is superficial and overrated.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ans. No, I don’t think that Chubukov is a good father because he considered his daughter Natalya as a burden rather than a responsibility. He was desperate to get Natalya married to anyone. Even when he saw that both Lomov and Natalya were arguing terribly, he was ready to get them married.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lomov came to seek the hand of Chubukov’s daughter, Natalya in marriage. However, all three were quarrelsome people and they began to quarrel over petty issues such as their land and their dogs. Amidst this quarrelling they completely forget the real issue about the marriage proposal.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the first instance, Lomov and Natalya fight over an issue of the ownership of the Oxen Meadows that has been a disputed property between the two families since generations. Chubukov does not try to pacify them. Instead, he himself joins it and out of anger, drives Lomov out of the house. “Please don’t shout !
Detailed explanation-5: -In the midst of all this, proposal gets forgotten until Lomov falls off due to his palpitations and Chubukov instantly puts her daughter’s hands in Lomov’s. Unfortunately, the quarrelling still continues.
