benefactor。 I evolve my own system of philosophy and all of you seem to
crawl at my feet like so many insects or microbes。 ��To TELEGIN�А�Play�察�
Waffles� �
TELEGIN。 My dear boy�察 �I would with all my heart�察 �but do listen to
reason�察�everybody in the house is asleep。
ASTROFF。 Play� �
TELEGIN plays softly。
ASTROFF。 I want a drink。 Come�察�we still have some brandy left。 And
then�察�as soon as it is day�察�you will come home with me。 ��He sees SONIA�察�
who comes in at that moment。�А�
ASTROFF。 I beg your pardon�察�I have no collar on。
��He goes out quickly�察�followed by TELEGIN。
SONIA。 Uncle Vanya�察 �you and the doctor have been drinking� �The
good fellows have been getting together� �It is all very well for him�察�he has
19

always done it�察�but why do you follow his example�拭�It looks dreadfully at
your age。
VOITSKI。 Age has nothing to do with it。 When real life is wanting one
must create an illusion。 It is better than nothing。
SONIA。 Our hay is all cut and rotting in these daily rains�察 �and here
you are busy creating illusions� �You have given up the farm altogether。 I
have done all the work alone until I am at the end of my strength
��Frightened�А�Uncle� �Your eyes are full of tears� �
VOITSKI。 Tears�拭�Nonsense�察�there are no tears in my eyes。 You looked
at me then just as your dead mother used to�察 �my darling��He eagerly
kisses her face and hands�А�My sister�察�my dearest sister�察�where are you now�拭�
Ah�察�if you only knew�察�if you only knew� �
SONIA。 If she only knew what�察�Uncle�拭�
VOITSKI。 My heart is bursting。 It is awful。 No matter�察�though。 I must
go。 ��He goes out。�А�
SONIA。 ��Knocks at the door�А �Dr。 Astroff� �Are you awake�拭 �Please
come here for a minute。
ASTROFF。 ��Behind the door�А�In a moment。
He appears in a few seconds。 He has put on his collar and waistcoat。
ASTROFF。 What do you want�拭�
SONIA。 Drink as much as you please yourself if you don't find it
revolting�察�but I implore you not to let my uncle do it。 It is bad for him。
ASTROFF。 Very well�察�we won't drink any more。 I am going home at
once。 That is settled。 It will be dawn by the time the horses are harnessed。
SONIA。 It is still raining�察�wait till morning。
ASTROFF。 The storm is blowing over。 This is only the edge of it。 I
must go。 And please don't ask me to come and see your father any more。 I
tell him he has gout�察�and he says it is rheumatism。 I tell him to lie down�察�
and he sits up。 To´day he refused to see me at all。
SONIA。 He has been spoilt。 ��She looks in the sideboard�А�Won't you
have a bite to eat�拭�
ASTROFF。 Yes�察�please。 I believe I will。
SONIA。 I love to eat at night。 I am sure we shall find something in
here。 They say that he has made a great many conquests in his life�察�and
20

that the women have spoiled him。 Here is some cheese for you。
��They stand eating by the sideboard。�А�
ASTROFF。 I haven't eaten anything to´day。 Your father has a very
difficult nature。 ��He takes a bottle out of the sideboard�А�May I�拭。�He pours
himself a glass of vodka�А�We are alone here�察�and I can speak frankly。 Do
you know�察�I could not stand living in this house for even a month�拭�This
atmosphere would stifle me。 There is your father�察�entirely absorbed in his
books�察 �and his gout�察 �there is your Uncle Vanya with his hypochondria�察�
your grandmother�察�and finally�察�your step´mother
SONIA。 What about her�拭�
ASTROFF。 A human being should be entirely beautiful�此�the face�察�the
clothes�察�the mind�察�the thoughts。 Your step´mother is�察�of course�察�beautiful to
look at�察�but don't you see�拭�She does nothing but sleep and eat and walk
and bewitch us�察�and that is all。 She has no responsibilities�察�everything is
done for heram I not right�拭�And an idle life can never be a pure one。 ��A
pause�А �However�察 �I may be judging her too severely。 Like your Uncle
Vanya�察�I am discontented�察�and so we are both grumblers。
SONIA。 Aren't you satisfied with life�拭�
ASTROFF。 I like life as life�察�but I hate and despise it in a little Russian
country village�察�and as far as my own personal life goes�察�by heaven� �there
is absolutely no redeeming feature about it。 Haven't you noticed if you are
riding through a dark wood at night and see a little light shining ahead�察�
how you forget your fatigue and the darkness and the sharp twigs that
whip your face�拭 �I work�察 �that you knowas no one else in the country
works。 Fate beats me on without rest�察�at times I suffer unendurably and I
see no light ahead。 I have no hope�察�I do not like people。 It is long since I
have loved any one。
SONIA。 You love no one�拭�
ASTROFF。 Not a soul。 I only feel a sort of tenderness for your old
nurse for old´times' sake。 The peasants are all alike�察 �they are stupid and
live in dirt�察�and the educated people are hard to get along with。 One gets
tired of them。 All our good friends are petty and shallow and see no farther
than their own noses�察�in one word�察�they are dull。 Those that have brains
are hysterical�察�devoured with a mania for self´analysis。 They whine�察�they
21

Uncle Vanya
hate�察�they pick faults everywhere with unhealthy sharpness。 They sneak up
to me sideways�察�look at me out of a corner of the eye�察�and say�此 �That man
is a lunatic�察─ �That man is a wind´bag。; Or�察�if they don't know what else to
label me with�察�they say I am strange。 I like the woods�察�that is strange。 I
don't eat meat�察�that is strange�察�too。 Simple�察�natural relations between man
and man or man and nature do not exist。 ��He tries to go out�察 �SONIA
prevents him。�А�
SONIA。 I beg you�察�I implore you�察�not to drink any more� �
ASTROFF。 Why not�拭�
SONIA。 It is so unworthy of you。 You are well´bred�察 �your voice is
sweet�察�you are evenmore than any one I knowhandsome。 Why do you
want to resemble the common people that drink and play cards�拭�Oh�察�don't�察�
I beg you� �You always say that people do not create anything�察 �but only
destroy what heaven has given them。 Why�察 �oh�察 �why�察 �do you destroy
yourself�拭�Oh�察�don't�察�I implore you not to� �I entreat you� �
ASTROFF。 ��Gives her his hand�А�I won't drink any more。
SONIA。 Promise me。
ASTROFF。 I give you my word of honour。
SONIA。 ��Squeezing his hand�А�Thank you。
ASTROFF。 I have done with it。 You see�察�I am perfectly sober again�察�
and so I shall stay till the end of my life。 ��He looks his watch�А�But�察�as I
was saying�察�life holds nothing for me�察�my race is run。 I am old�察�I am tired�察�
I am trivial�察�my sensibilities are dead。 I could never attach myself to any
one again。 I love no one�察�and never shall� �Beauty alone has the power to
touch me still。 I am deeply moved by it。 Helena could turn my head in a
day if she wanted to�察�but that is not love�察�that is not affection
��He shudders and covers his face with his hands。�А�
SONIA。 What is it�拭�
ASTROFF。 Nothing。 During Lent one of my patients died under
chloroform。
SONIA。 It is time to forget that。 ��A pause�А�Tell me�察�doctor�察�if I had a
friend or a younger sister�察�and if you knew that she�察�wellloved you�察�what
would you do�拭�
ASTROFF。 ��Shrugging his shoulders�А �I don't know。 I don't think I
22

should do anything。 I should make her understand that I could not return
her lovehowever�察 �my mind is not bothered about those things now。 I
must start at once if I am ever to get off。 Good´bye�察�my dear girl。 At this
rate we shall stand here talking till morning。 ��He shakes hands with her�А�I
shall go out through the sitting´room�察 �because I am afraid your uncle
might detain me。 ��He goes out。�А�
SONIA。 ��Alone�А�Not a word� �His heart and soul are still locked from
me�察�and yet for some reason I am strangely happy。 I wonder why�拭。�She
laughs with pleasure�А�I told him that he was well´bred and handsome and
that his voice was sweet。 Was that a mistake�拭 �I can still feel his voice
vibrating in the air�察�it caresses me。 ��Wringing her hands�А�Oh� �how terrible
it is to be plain� �I am plain�察�I know it。 As I came out of church last Sunday
I overheard a woman say�察 �She is a dear�察�noble girl�察�but what a pity she is
so ugly� ─�So ugly� �
HELENA comes in and throws open the window。
HELENA。 The storm is over。 What delicious air� 。�A pause�А�Where is
the doctor�拭�
SONIA。 He has gone。 ��A pause。�А�
HELENA。 Sonia� �
SONIA。 Yes�拭�
HELENA。 How much longer are you going to sulk at me�拭�We have
not hurt each other。 Why not be friends�拭�We have had enough of this。
SONIA。 I myself��She embraces HELENA�А�Let us make peace。
HELENA。 With all my heart。 ��They are both moved。�А�
SONIA。 Has papa gone to bed�拭�
HELENA。 No�察 �he is sitting up in the drawing´room。 Heaven knows
what reason you and I had for not speaking to each other for weeks。 ��Sees
the open sideboard�А�Who left the sideboard open�拭�
SONIA。 Dr。 Astroff has just ha
