LOPAKHIN Ermolai A., as stated in the beginning of the play in the author's remark - this merchant.His father was a serf grandfather and father Ranevskaya, trading at a village shop.Now the rich LOPAKHIN.Characteristic of his given Chekhov including a first-person.However, he says of himself with irony that he was "a man a man."Talking about his childhood hero notes that his dad was a guy, do not understand.His son, he did not teach, but only beat drunk.LOPAKHIN admits that he, in effect, "moron and an idiot."This character did not learn anything, he has a bad handwriting.
business acumen Lopakhin
course, LOPAKHIN characteristic which we are interested, have entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen and intelligence.The scope of its activities is much broader than the previous owners.He is energetic.The bulk of this hero status was earned by his own labor.For it was not an easy road to riches.Some observations and cues indicate that this merchant has some great "deal."They absorbed it entirely.LOPAKHIN thus easily part with their money, giving them a loan of Simeon-Pishchik Ranevskaya and offering aggressively Petya Trofimov.This hero never have enough time, he or sent on business trips, or returns.By his own admission, he gets up at five o'clock in the morning, day and night work.Ermolai A. says that without a job can not.Most others in the work looks at the clock it LOPAKHIN.Characteristic of this is complemented by its substantial part at the beginning of the work.His first remark in the play: "What time is it?"This merchant constantly mindful of the time.
Perception Lopakhin actors play
a different perception of this character actors play.Very contradictory their opinions about it.It is "good, interesting man" for Ranevskaya, "fist" and "ham" for Gaeva, "the vast mad man" to Simeon-Pishchik.Petya Trofimov gives him a playful characterization, saying that he was a beast of prey, eat anything that gets in the way, and it is necessary "in the sense of the metabolism."
moment of supreme triumph Lopakhin
LOPAKHIN committed to helping Ranevskaya.He offers her a break on the garden plots and give them out.This hero realizes his enormous strength, demanding release and application.Eventually he bought the cherry orchard LOPAKHIN.Characteristic it is supplemented in this important scene of some significant features.For him, the episode in which he announces the acquisition of the former owners of the garden, is a moment of supreme triumph.Now LOPAKHIN - owner of the estate, which had been the slaves of his grandfather and father, even where they were not allowed into the kitchen.It is increasingly beginning to "waving hands" - it excites the consciousness of their own strength and luck.Compassion for Ranevskaya and triumph oppose it in this episode.
business man with the soul of an artist
Chekhov said that the role of Lopakhin in the product - central, that the entire play will fail if it does not succeed.He wrote that Ermolai A. - the merchant, but a decent man in all respects;He should keep decently, "no tricks", intelligently.Chekhov while warning against the small, simplified way of understanding Lopakhin.This successful businessman, but he has the soul of an artist.His arguments about Russia sound like a declaration of love.Word Lopakhin resemble lyrical digressions Gogol's "Dead Souls".It is this character in the play belong to the most heartfelt words of The Cherry Orchard, "the estate, which is not beautiful in the world."
Chekhov made some peculiar Russian entrepreneurs to the early 20th century features in the image of Lopakhin, merchant, but also in the artist's soul.It is about these left their mark on the culture of Russian names as Savva Morozov, Shchukin, Tretyakov, publisher Sytin.
final score, which gives its seemingly antagonist Petya Trofimov, very significant.Feature image Lopakhin, given this character, duality.As we have said, he compared it with the beast of prey.But at the same Petya Trofimov says LOPAKHIN that still loves him, he is an artist, delicate, thin fingers and vulnerable soul.
illusory victory
by no means wants to destroy LOPAKHIN cherry orchard.Feature it would be wrong if we thought so.He only offers to reorganize it, smashing into plots for villas, to make "democratic" public for a modest fee.But at the end of the play is shown not as a triumphant winner achieved success LOPAKHIN ("The Cherry Orchard").Characteristic of him in the final is very contradictory.And the old owners of the garden depicted not only as losers.Intuitively LOPAKHIN and illusory feelings about their own victory.He says he wants to change this rather awkward unhappy life.His destiny supported by these words: Ermolai A. One is able to assess the significance of the cherry orchard, but he kills it and his hands.
Lopakhin Characteristics of "The Cherry Orchard" is marked as follows: good intentions, good personal qualities of the hero somehow at odds with reality.No surrounding or he is unable to understand the reasons for this.
LOPAKHIN not given and happiness.The incomprehensible to his other actions translate into a relationship with Varya.He has not decided on what to do to this girl offer.In Lopakhin, besides, there is a special feeling to LUBOV.Ranevskaya soon he was waiting with great hope and wonders whether she knows it after five years of separation.
relationship with Varya
In the last act, in the famous scene where the explanation describes a failed between Varya and Lopakhin, the characters talk about a broken thermometer, weather - and not a word about what is most important to them at that moment.What's the matter, why are not held explanation has not developed this love?Marriage Vary throughout the play is discussed almost like a done deal, and yet ...
What separates Lopakhin and Varya?
Apparently, it's not that the groom - unable to manifest feelings of love go-getter.It is in this spirit Varia explains their relationship itself.She believes that it is simply not up to it, because a lot of things Lopakhin.Perhaps Varya did not pair this hero: he is by nature broad, businessman, large span both people and artist in the soul.Varin as the world economy is limited, the economy, the keys on his belt.This girl, besides, Bride, which is not authorized even on the estate is now ruined.LOPAKHIN, with all the subtlety of his soul, lacks tact and humanity to make their relationship clear.
Dialogue characters described in the second act, did not clarify at the level of the text in a relationship the Wari and Lopakhin.But it is clear at the level of implication that these people are infinitely far.Feature hero Lopakhin to judge that Varya he is unlikely to have found happiness.A. Ermolai already decided that he will not be with this girl.There LOPAKHIN acts as a provincial Hamlet, who decides for himself the famous question: "To be or not to be?"And he decides: "hopped, go to the monastery ...".
What separates Varya and Lopakhin?Perhaps the relationship of these characters is largely determined by the fate of the cherry orchard motivation, their attitude to it?Varya as Fiers, worried about the fate of the estate garden.A LOPAKHIN "sentenced" him to cut down.Thus, between the death of heroes stands the cherry orchard.
But perhaps there is another reason, which is not stated in the play (like so much else, sometimes the most important thing at the Chekhov) and lies in the subconscious.It LUBOV Ranevskaya.
LOPAKHIN and Ranevskaya
Lopakhin Characteristics of "The Cherry Orchard" would be incomplete without an analysis of the relationship of these two characters.The fact that Ranevskaya when LOPAKHIN was still "a boy of" a nose bloodied fist from his father, took him to the washstand and said: "Before the wedding will heal."Sympathy Ranevskaya in contrast to fist his father was perceived as a manifestation of Lopakhin femininity and tenderness.LUBOV actually did what was supposed to make the mother.Perhaps that it is involved in the fact that this merchant such "thin gentle soul."And it is this characteristic Lopakhin in the play "The Cherry Orchard" is doing the interests of our merchant controversial.A. Ermolai kept in mind that love, appreciation, it's perfect vision.Thus, in the first act, he says Lyubov Andreyevna about what she had done for him when something so much, and that he loved her "more than a native."This is characteristic of Ranevskaya and Lopakhin their relationship.
Word Lopakhin in the first act - a "confession" in the first, long-standing love, filial gratitude, love light Ermolai Alekseevicha in perfect vision, does not require anything in return, and not binding to anything.
Farewell to the past, however, experienced
once irrevocably.There was understood to hear it "expensive" for Lopakhin.Maybe for him, this was a watershed moment psychologically.He became Lopakhin reckoning with the past, a farewell to him.And he started a new life.But now the hero has become more sober.
Such characteristics Ermolai Lopakhin, the central character of the play, according to Chekhov.
