View answers
- 1. (c) propose to Natalya — He comes to propose marriage to Natalya.
- 2. (d) Oxen Meadows — They argue over Oxen Meadows.
- 3. (a) dog is better — They argue over whose dog is better.
- 4. (b) Guess — Lomov's dog is Guess.
- 5. To propose marriage to Natalya.
- 6. The ownership of Oxen Meadows.
- 7. The humour of 'The Proposal' lies almost entirely in its quarrels. Lomov arrives intending to propose to Natalya, but instead of a romantic scene the play gives us one absurd argument after another. First, before he can even propose, Lomov and Natalya fall into a heated dispute over who owns Oxen Meadows, with Chubukov joining in until Lomov storms off. No sooner is he brought back than a second quarrel erupts, this time over whose dog — Lomov's Guess or Natalya's Squeezer — is the better animal, and the shouting grows wilder than before. The comedy comes from the trivial nature of these disputes, the characters' exaggerated tempers, and Lomov's constant complaints about his health. The crowning comic touch is that the moment they are finally engaged, the couple immediately begin to argue again, suggesting their marriage will be one long quarrel.
