     VOITSKI。   Do   as   you   please。   ��A  pause�А  �Oh�察  �to   make   such   a   fool   of 

myself�   �To   shoot   twice   and   miss   him   both   times�   �I   shall   never   forgive 

myself。 

     ASTROFF。 When   the   impulse   came   to   shoot�察 �it   would   have been   as 

well had you put a bullet through your own head。 

     VOITSKI。 ��Shrugging his shoulders�А�Strange� �I attempted murder�察�and 

am not going to be arrested or brought to trial。 That means they think me 

mad。     ��With   a  bitter  laugh�А  �Me�    �I  am   mad�察  �and   those   who    hide  their 

worthlessness�察      �their   dullness�察   �their   crying    he   artlessness    behind     a 

professor's   mask�察  �are   sane� �Those   who   marry   old   men   and   then   deceive 

them under the noses of all�察�are sane� �I saw you kiss her�察�I saw you in each

other's arms� �

     ASTROFF。 Yes�察�sir�察�I did kiss her�察�so there。 ��He puts his thumb to his 

nose。�А�

     VOITSKI。   ��His   eyes   on   the   door�А  �No�察  �it   is   the   earth   that   is   mad�察�

because she still bears us on her breast。 

     ASTROFF。 That is nonsense。 

     VOITSKI。   Well�拭  �Am   I   not   a   madman�察  �and   therefore   irresponsible�拭�

Haven't I the right to talk nonsense�拭�

     ASTROFF。        This    is  a  farce�  �You    are  not   mad�察   �you   are  simply    a 

ridiculous fool。 I used to think every fool was out of his senses�察�but now I 

see   that   lack   of  sense   is   a  man's   normal   state�察 �and   you   are  perfectly 

normal。 

     VOITSKI。   ��Covers   his   face   with   his   hands�А  �Oh�   �If   you   knew   how 

ashamed I am� �These piercing pangs of shame are like nothing on earth。 

��In   an   agonised   voice�А  �I   can't   endure   them�   。�He   leans   against   the   table�А�

What can I do�拭�What can I do�拭�

     ASTROFF。 Nothing。 

     VOITSKI。 You must tell me something� �Oh�察�my God� �I am forty´seven 

years   old。   I   may   live   to   sixty�察  �I   still   have   thirteen   years   before   me�察  �an 

eternity� �How shall I be able to endure life for thirteen years�拭�What shall I 

do�拭  �How   can   I   fill   them�拭  �Oh�察  �don't   you   see�拭  。�He   presses   ASTROFF'S 

hand convulsively�А�Don't you see�察�if only I could live the rest of my life in 

some new way� �If I could only wake some still�察�bright morning and feel 

that life had begun again�察�that the past was forgotten and had vanished like 

smoke。 ��He weeps�А�Oh�察�to begin life anew� �Tell me�察�tell me how to begin。 

     ASTROFF。 ��Crossly�А�What nonsense� �What sort of a new life can you 

and I look forward to�拭�We can have no hope。 

     VOITSKI。 None�拭�

     ASTROFF。 None。 Of that I am convinced。 

     VOITSKI。 Tell   me what to do。 ��He puts his hand to his heart�А�I feel 

such a burning pain here。 

     ASTROFF。 ��Shouts angrily�А�Stop� 。�Then�察�more gently�А�It may be that 

posterity�察  �which   will   despise   us   for   our   blind   and   stupid   lives�察  �will   find 

some road to happiness�察�but weyou and Ihave but one hope�察�the hope

that   we   may   be   visited   by   visions�察  �perhaps   by   pleasant   ones�察  �as   we   lie 

resting    in  our   graves。    ��Sighing�А   �Yes�察  �brother�察  �there   were    only   two 

respectable�察�intelligent men in this county�察�you and I。 Ten years or so of 

this life   of ours�察 �this   miserable   life�察  �have sucked   us  under�察 �and   we   have 

become as contemptible and petty as the rest。 But don't try to talk me out 

of my purpose� �Give me what you took from me�察�will you�拭�

     VOITSKI。 I took nothing from you。 

     ASTROFF。 You took a little bottle of morphine out of my medicine´ 

case。 ��A pause�А�Listen� �If you are positively determined to make an end to 

yourself�察   �go   into   the  woods     and   shoot   yourself    there。   Give   up   the 

morphine�察�or there will be a lot of talk and guesswork�察�people will think I 

gave it to you。 I don't fancy having to perform a post´mortem on you。 Do 

you think I should find it interesting�拭�

     SONIA comes in。 

     VOITSKI。 Leave me alone。 

     ASTROFF。        ��To   SONIA�А    �Sonia�察  �your    uncle   has  stolen   a  bottle  of 

morphine out of my medicine´case and won't give it up。 Tell him that his 

behaviour iswell�察�unwise。 I haven't time�察�I must be going。 

     SONIA。 Uncle Vanya�察�did you take the morphine�拭�

     ASTROFF。 Yes�察�he took it。 ��A pause�А�I am absolutely sure。 

     SONIA。 Give it up� �Why do you want to frighten us�拭。�Tenderly�А�Give 

it up�察�Uncle Vanya� �My misfortune is perhaps even greater than yours�察�but 

I am not plunged in despair。 I endure my sorrow�察�and shall endure it until 

my   life   comes   to   a   natural   end。 You   must   endure   yours�察  �too。   ��A  pause�А�

Give it up� �Dear�察�darling Uncle Vanya。 Give it up� 。�She weeps�А�You are so 

good�察�I am sure you will have pity on us and give it up。 You must endure 

your sorrow�察�Uncle Vanya�察�you must endure it。 

     VOITSKI takes a bottle from the drawer of the table and hands it to 

ASTROFF。 

     VOITSKI。 There it is� 。�To SONIA�А�And now�察�we must get to work at 

once�察�we must do something�察�or else I shall not be able to endure it。 

     SONIA。 Yes�察�yes�察�to work� �As soon as we have seen them off we shall 

go    to  work。   ��She    nervously    straightens    out  the   papers   on   the  table�А�

Everything is in a muddle� �

     ASTROFF。   ��Putting   the   bottle   in   his   case�察  �which   he   straps   together�А�

Now I can be off。 

     HELENA comes in。 

     HELENA。 Are   you   here�察  �Ivan�拭  �We   are   starting   in   a   moment。   Go   to 

Alexander�察�he wants to speak to you。 

     SONIA。   Go�察  �Uncle  Vanya。   ��She   takes   VOITSKI   'S   arm�А  �Come�察  �you 

and papa must make peace�察�that is absolutely necessary。 

     SONIA and VOITSKI go out。 

     HELENA。 I am going away。   ��She gives ASTROFF her hand�А �Good´ 

bye。 

     ASTROFF。 So soon�拭�

     HELENA。 The carriage is waiting。 

     ASTROFF。 Good´bye。 

     HELENA。 You promised me you would go away yourself to´day。 

     ASTROFF。 I have not forgotten。 I am going at once。 ��A pause�А�Were 

you frightened�拭�Was it so terrible�拭�

     HELENA。 Yes。 

     ASTROFF。        Couldn't     you   stay�拭  �Couldn't    you�拭   �To´morrowin       the 

forest 

     HELENA。   No。   It   is   all   settled�察  �and   that   is   why   I   can   look   you   so 

bravely in the face。 Our departure is fixed。 One thing I must ask of you�此�

don't think too badly of me�察�I should like you to respect me。 

     ASTROFF。        Ah�   。�With    an   impatient    gesture�А  �Stay�察 �I  implore    you� �

Confess   that   there   is   nothing   for   you   to   do   in   this   world。   You   have   no 

object in life�察�there is nothing to occupy your attention�察�and sooner or later 

your   feelings   must   master   you。   It   is   inevitable。   It   would   be   better   if   it 

happened not in Kharkoff or in Kursk�察�but here�察�in nature's lap。 It would 

then   at   least   be   poetical�察  �even   beautiful。   Here   you   have   the   forests�察  �the 

houses half in ruins that Turgenieff writes of。 

     HELENA。 How comical you are� �I am angry with you and yet I shall 

always remember you with pleasure。 You are interesting and original。 You 

and I will never meet again�察�and so I shall tell youwhy should I conceal 

it��that I am just a little in love with you。 Come�察�one more last pressure of 

our hands�察�and then let us part good friends。 Let us not bear each other any

ill will。 

     ASTROFF。 ��Pressing her hand�А�Yes�察 �go。 ��Thoughtfully�А�You seem  to 

be   sincere   and   good�察  �and   yet   there   is   something   strangely   disquieting 

about     all  your   personality。    No    sooner    did  you    arrive   here   with   your 

husband      than   every    one   whom     you    found   busy    and   actively    creating 

something was forced to drop his work and give himself up for the whole 

summer to your husband's gout and yourself。 You and he have infected us 

with your idleness。 I have been swept off my feet�察�I have not put my hand 

to a thing   for  weeks�察 �during   which sickness   has   been   running   its   course 

unchecked among the people�察�and the peasants have been pasturing their 

cattle   in   my  woods   and   young   plantations。   Go   where   you   will�察  �you   and 

your husband will always carry destruction in your train。 I am joking of 

course�察 �and   yet   I   am  strangely  sure   that   had   you   stayed   here   we   should 

have been overtaken by the most immense desolation。 I would have gone 

to   my   ruin�察  �and   youyou   would   not   have   prospered。   So   go�   �E   finita   la 

comedia� �

     HELENA。   ��Snatching   a   pencil   off   ASTROFF'S   table�察  �and   hiding   it 

with a quick movement�А�I shall take this pencil for memory� �

     ASTROFF。   How   strange   it   is。  We   meet�察  �and   then   suddenly   it   seems 

that we must part forever。 That is the way in this world。 As long as we are 

alone�察�before Uncle Vanya comes in with a bouquetallow meto kiss you 

good´byemay I�拭。�He kisses her on the cheek�А�So� �Splendid� �

     HELENA。   I   wish   you   every   happiness。   ��She   glances   about   her�А  �For 

once   in   my   life�察  �I   shall�   �and   scorn   the   consequences�   。�She   kisses   him 

impetuously�察�and they quickly part�А�I must go。 

     ASTROFF。 Yes�察�go。 If the carriage is there�察�then start at once。 ��They 

stand listening。�А�

     ASTROFF。 E finita� �
