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

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

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

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

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�
