"The Seagull" brings before the audience not only the human passion to live life but also to take life as it is - with the struggle, sometimes fierce and harsh, for happiness and love, for attention and admiration from others. With all their might, the characters of the play try to seize their chances, which they perceive as the ultimate gift of fate. The sensation of the horizon of expectation being limited and the hope for tomorrow brings the condition of Chekhov's characters closer to that of contemporary humans.
At the same time, together with his characters, Chekhov highlights the condition of humans faced with the immensity of the universe and eternity, which make earthly struggles and conflicts seem insignificant and petty. In the timeless light of the moon, the daily occurrences, the turmoil, and the passions of characters aware of the inevitability of death and decline become as futile as they are ridiculous.
What does happiness consist of, and what are the stakes in our search for the joy promised by existence? How do we distinguish what is truly important from what is ephemeral?
