MAMA-182 "The Marriage Proposal" is a romantic comedy novel written by Anton Chekhov. It was first published in 1890 and has since become one of his most famous works. The story revolves around a young man named Lomayev who is determined to marry a wealthy woman to improve his social status and financial situation. He sets his sights on a distant relative, Natalya Stepanovna, who is not only rich but also beautiful.
Lomayev's pursuit of Natalya is both humorous and cringe-worthy as he bumbles through various attempts to win her over. His awkwardness and lack of social grace often lead to embarrassing situations, providing much of the comic relief in the story. Along the way, Lomayev learns important lessons about love, relationships, and the true meaning of happiness.
"The Marriage Proposal" is a delightful read that offers insights into human nature and the complexities of marriage. Chekhov's witty dialogue and engaging characters make this short novel a timeless classic.
