The Bear
A young man, Smirnov, comes to Popova to get his debt back that Popova’s late husband had borrowed from him. Will he get his money back?

The play is set in rural countryside of Russia. When Ivan arrives at the home of the Chubukov family, the elderly Stepan assumes that the well-dressed young man has come to borrow money. Instead, Stepan is pleased when Ivan asks for his daughter's hand in marriage. Stepan whole-heartedly bestows his blessing, declaring that he already loves him like a son. The old man then leaves to fetch his daughter, assuring the younger man that Natalya will graciously accept the proposal. Will she?
