medicine about as well as I understand astronomy。
SONIA。 We can't send for the whole medical faculty�察�can we�察�to treat
your gout�拭�
SEREBRAKOFF。 I won't talk to that madman� �
SONIA。 Do as you please。 It's all the same to me。 ��She sits down。�А�
SEREBRAKOFF。 What time is it�拭�
HELENA。 One o'clock。
SEREBRAKOFF。 It is stifling in here。 Sonia�察�hand me that bottle on
the table。
SONIA。 Here it is。 ��She hands him a bottle of medicine。�А�
SEREBRAKOFF。 ��Crossly�А�No�察�not that one� �Can't you understand me�拭�
Can't I ask you to do a thing�拭�
SONIA。 Please don't be captious with me。 Some people may like it�察�
but you must spare me�察�if you please�察�because I don't。 Besides�察�I haven't
the time�察�we are cutting the hay to´morrow and I must get up early。
VOITSKI comes in dressed in a long gown and carrying a candle。
VOITSKI。 A thunderstorm is coming up。 ��The lightning flashes�А�There
it is� �Go to bed�察�Helena and Sonia。 I have come to take your place。
SEREBRAKOFF。 ��Frightened�А�No�察�n o�察�no� �Don't leave me alone with
him� �Oh�察�don't。 He will begin to lecture me。
VOITSKI。 But you must give them a little rest。 They have not slept for
two nights。
SEREBRAKOFF。 Then let them go to bed�察 �but you go away too� �
Thank you。 I implore you to go。 For the sake of our former friendship do
not protest against going。 We will talk some other time´
VOITSKI。 Our former friendship� �Our former´
SONIA。 Hush�察�Uncle Vanya� �
SEREBRAKOFF。 ��To his wife�А�My darling�察�don't leave me alone with
him。 He will begin to lecture me。

VOITSKI。 This is ridiculous。
MARINA comes in carrying a candle。
SONIA。 You must go to bed�察�nurse�察�it is late。
MARINA。 I haven't cleared away the tea things。 Can't go to bed yet。
SEREBRAKOFF。 No one can go to bed。 They are all worn out�察�only I
enjoy perfect happiness。
MARINA。 ��Goes up to SEREBRAKOFF and speaks tenderly�А�What's
the matter�察�master�拭�Does it hurt�拭�My own legs are aching too�察�oh�察�so badly。
��Arranges his shawl about his legs�А�You have had this illness such a long
time。 Sonia's dead mother used to stay awake with you too�察 �and wear
herself out for you。 She loved you dearly。 ��A pause�А�Old people want to be
pitied as much as young ones�察 �but nobody cares about them somehow。
��She kisses SEREBRAKOFF'S shoulder�А�Come�察�master�察�let me give you
some linden´tea and warm your poor feet for you。 I shall pray to God for
you。
SEREBRAKOFF。 ��Touched�А�Let us go�察�Marina。
MARINA。 My own feet are aching so badly�察�oh�察�so badly� 。�She and
SONIA lead SEREBRAKOFF out�А�Sonia' s mother used to wear herself
out with sorrow and weeping。 You were still little and foolish then�察�Sonia。
Come�察�come�察�master。
SEREBRAKOFF�察�SONIA and MARINA go out。
HELENA。 I am absolutely exhausted by him�察�and can hardly stand。
VOITSKI。 You are exhausted by him�察�and I am exhausted by my own
self。 I have not slept for three nights。
HELENA。 Something is wrong in this house。 Your mother hates
everything but her pamphlets and the professor�察�the professor is vexed�察�he
won't trust me�察�and fears you�察�Sonia is angry with her father�察�and with me�察�
and hasn't spoken to me for two weeks�察�I am at the end of my strength�察�and
have come near bursting into tears at least twenty times to´day。 Something
is wrong in this house。
VOITSKI。 Leave speculating alone。
HELENA。 You are cultured and intelligent�察 �Ivan�察 �and you surely
understand that the world is not destroyed by villains and conflagrations�察�
but by hate and malice and all this spiteful tattling。 It is your duty to make
16

peace�察�and not to growl at everything。
VOITSKI。 Help me first to make peace with myself。 My darling� �
��Seizes her hand。�А�
HELENA。 Let go� 。�She drags her hand away�А�Go away� �
VOITSKI。 Soon the rain will be over�察 �and all nature will sigh and
awake refreshed。 Only I am not refreshed by the storm。 Day and night the
thought haunts me like a fiend�察�that my life is lost for ever。 My past does
not count�察 �because I frittered it away on trifles�察 �and the present has so
terribly miscarried� �What shall I do with my life and my love�拭�What is to
become of them�拭�This wonderful feeling of mine will be wasted and lost
as a ray of sunlight is lost that falls into a dark chasm�察�and my life will go
with it。
HELENA。 I am as it were benumbed when you speak to me of your
love�察�and I don't know how to answer you。 Forgive me�察�I have nothing to
say to you。 ��She tries to go out�А�Good´night� �
VOITSKI。 ��Barring the way�А�If you only knew how I am tortured by
the thought that beside me in this house is another life that is being lost
foreverit is yours� �What are you waiting for�拭�What accursed philosophy
stands in your way�拭�Oh�察�understand�察�understand´
HELENA。 ��Looking at him intently�А�Ivan�察�you are drunk� �
VOITSKI。 Perhaps。 Perhaps。
HELENA。 Where is the doctor�拭�
VOITSKI。 In there�察�spending the night with me。 Perhaps I am drunk�察�
perhaps I am�察�nothing is impossible。
HELENA。 Have you just been drinking together�拭�Why do you do that�拭�
VOITSKI。 Because in that way I get a taste of life。 Let me do it�察�
Helena� �
HELENA。 You never used to drink�察 �and you never used to talk so
much。 Go to bed�察�I am tired of you。
VOITSKI。 ��Falling on his knees before her�А �My sweetheart。 my
beautiful one´
HELENA。 ��Angrily�А �Leave me alone� �Really�察 �this has become too
disagreeable。
HELENA goes out。 A pause。

VOITSKI ��Alone�А �She is gone� �I met her first ten years ago�察 �at her
sister's house�察�when she was seventeen and I was thirty´seven。 Why did I
not fall in love with her then and propose to her�拭�It would have been so
easy� �And now she would have been my wife。 Yes�察�we would both have
been waked to´night by the thunderstorm�察 �and she would have been
frightened�察�but I would have held her in my arms and whispered�此 �Don't be
afraid� �I am here。; Oh�察�enchanting dream�察�so sweet that I laugh to think of
it。 ��He laughs�А�But my God� �My head reels� �Why am I so old�拭�Why won't
she understand me�拭 �I hate all that rhetoric of hers�察 �that morality of
indolence�察�that absurd talk about the destruction of the world´ ��A pause�А�
Oh�察�how I have been deceived� �For years I have worshipped that miserable
gout´ridden professor。 Sonia and I have squeezed this estate dry for his
sake。 We have bartered our butter and curds and peas like misers�察�and have
never kept a morsel for ourselves�察�so that we could scrape enough pennies
together to send to him。 I was proud of him and of his learning�察�I received
all his words and writings as inspired�察�and now�拭�Now he has retired�察�and
what is the total of his life�拭�A blank� �He is absolutely unknown�察�and his
fame has burst like a soap´bubble。 I have been deceived�察�I see that now�察�
basely deceived。
ASTROFF comes in。 He has his coat on�察�but is without his waistcoat
or collar�察�and is slightly drunk。 TELEGIN follows him�察�carrying a guitar。
ASTROFF。 Play� �
TELEGIN。 But every one is asleep。
ASTROFF。 Play� �
TELEGIN begins to play softly。
ASTROFF。 Are you alone here�拭 �No women about�拭 。�Sings with his
arms akimbo。�А�
;The hut is cold�察 �the fire is dead�察 �Where shall the master lay his
head�拭─�
The thunderstorm woke me。 It was a heavy shower。 What time is it�拭�
VOITSKI。 The devil only knows。
ASTROFF。 I thought I heard Helena's voice。
VOITSKI。 She was here a moment ago。
ASTROFF。 What a beautiful woman� 。�Looking at the medicine

bottles on the table�А�Medicine�察�is it�拭�What a variety we have�察�prescriptions
from Moscow�察�from Kharkoff�察�from Tula� �Why�察�he has been pestering all
the towns of Russia with his gout� �Is he ill�察�or simply shamming�拭�
VOITSKI。 He is really ill。
ASTROFF。 What is the matter with you to´night�拭�You seem sad。 Is it
because you are sorry for the professor�拭�
VOITSKI。 Leave me alone。
ASTROFF。 Or in love with the professor's wife�拭�
VOITSKI。 She is my friend。
ASTROFF。 Already�拭�
VOITSKI。 What do you mean by ;already;�拭�
ASTROFF。 A woman can only become a man's friend after having first
been his acquaintance and then his belovedthen she becomes his friend。
VOITSKI。 What vulgar philosophy� �
ASTROFF。 What do you mean�拭 �Yes�察 �I must confess I am getting
vulgar�察�but then�察�you see�察�I am drunk。 I usually only drink like this once a
month。 At such times my audacity and temerity know no bounds。 I feel
capable of anything。 I attempt the most difficult operations and do them
magnificently。 The most brilliant plans for the future take shape in my
head。 I am no longer a poor fool of a doctor�察 �but mankind's greatest
benefactor。 I evolve my own system of philosophy and all of you seem to
crawl at my feet like so many insec
