All Love Is Unrequited: With one notable exception, between Elena and Astrov - however, even that relationship cannot happen.It has since been accepted as both a classic of Russian theatre and a key example of naturalism. The play subverts a number of dramatic conventions, and was first performed at the Moscow Arts Theatre in 1899. A doctor named Astrov comes to visit to help, and slowly the feelings among numerous characters unravel during Astrov's stay. Essentially, the play consists of a period of time when the professor becomes ill. Vanya is neither hero nor anti-hero, living in a house with an aged professor, Serebryakov his wife, Elena his mother, Maria his niece, Sonya, and a nurse called Marina. One of Anton Chekhov's major plays, Uncle Vanya is a four-act play that deals with jealousy (both professional and interpersonal), wasted potential, unrequited love, sickness, age, and a bevy of other dreary topics in the context of a country home in 19th century Russia.
