Interest:
The side by side timeline is interesting because it gives a little insight as to what was happening in the country when Chekov was writing.
Apparently his family went through a period where they had to give everything away because of a debt. Andrey?
There is a somewhat interesting comparison to Waiting For Godot at the end of the essay. Concluding that the play gives an existential message. We make our lives daily. We take responsibility and perform action to shape and mold our lives. In the three sisters, no one ever takes real action when they need to.
