Anton Chekhov's The Duel Page #3

Synopsis: In ANTON CHEKHOV'S THE DUEL, escalating animosity between two men with opposing philosophies of life is played out against the backdrop of a decaying seaside resort along the Black Sea coast. Laevsky is a dissipated romantic given to gambling and flirtation. He has run off to the sea with beautiful, emotionally empty, Nadya, another man's wife. Laevsky has now grown tired of her, but two obstacles block his route to escape: he is broke, and he faces the absolute enmity of Von Koren, an arrogant zoologist and former friend who can no longer tolerate Laevsky's irresponsibility. Soon Laevsky confronts Von Koren, accusing him of meddling in his affairs, but Von Koren maneuvers a criticism Laevsky makes of their mutual friend, Dr. Samoylenko, into a challenge to a duel. Utterly discombobulated and honor bound, Laevsky agrees to this absurdity -- a duel it shall be! A duel as comically inadvertent as it is inevitable.

- Yes, prstelo, prstelo.

Thank you.

I'll tell you, I'll wait for some wine.

I do not...

What about Fladerosa?

- I'll send the money.

Then things go.

For Health.

You really are a wonderful, wonderful man.

Yeah, well, you have to

compensate. Both are well.

Friends outstanding if you saw like wolves.

Yes, it is... is very talented. And I'm

the most useless, stupid and poor man.

But I begin to see my fault and I

should swear be a different man.

Nadia, actually I have to go to bed.

Yeah right, I'm sorry. I'm leaving.

Thank you sir.

Mr.

- If.

I can stay tonight?

Please wait.

Came to see her.

Dear, I am deeply moved.

Oh dear when the doctor told me

your husband was dead.

But tell me dear, tell me. Is it true?

Yes, it's true.

It's awful, just awful dear.

But now you are free and God and man

can bless your union with Ivan Andr.

O I can not describe my relief.

It's exciting.

Honey, I can not wait,

Now when you think you'll marry?

I have not thought of.

I give you my word not.

But that's impossible.

Why should I care?

Continue living as we did.

What are you saying, ported

heaven, what are you saying?

You must settle.

- Settle? What do you mean?

I have not yet gone. And you

tell me I have to settle.

Farewell my dear, forgive me

if I have given problems.

It is my duty to tell you that from

this day onwards all over between us.

And my door must be closed for you.

My dear girl. I'll tell you without

hesitation that it is true.

Remember that all

ladies here I was the only one you got?

You sanctified me from day one. But I'm

not hard to treat you like everyone else.

But...

- You are a terrible sinner.

Broke the vow that

did your husband at the altar.

You seduced a fine young man.

I have fear that a light from heaven destroy

my house when you're sitting with us.

But...

- No, do not talk, do not talk.

And your house is horrible, just horrible.

These separated by a few hours and flies...

Ivan Andr had to tell you

that no one touches it.

Every morning wake up before it's too late

and I wash my face with cold water.

But Nicole and Alexandre

not appear to be sleepy.

That makes no sense.

- God marks great sinners.

And you've been marked. Just think.

And your costume has always been so.

But look what happened. I'm unhappy.

Yes, you are unhappy. And there is a

terrible time for you in the future.

A lonely old age that is.

And then the red of the trial,

marry, marry you and your judgment.

I go. Ivan Andr maybe stay but I will go.

Go where?... How is that possibly

live there? - A Moscow.

Translations or I will live in the library.

Dear calm down.

Must have money for a library.

Think

and get over it and come to me first day.
