Swan song

The “Swan Song” is a drama given by Anton Chekhov” He describes about the Swan Song of the Vasili Svetlovidov and regration towards the time.
Vasili Svetlovidov is 68 years old stage performer. The drama begins with a stage performance of the Vasili Svetlovidov. As the play begins, he appears out form the dressing room in the performers costume with a candle in his hand, and laughs. He is in a drunken sate and feeling much uncomfortable. The time is already a night and it is quite dark. The show had been finished some hours before when he felt himself to be asleep in the chair. All the audience had gone their home and his partners also gone home. Nobody cares about him after his performance is over. His helper to whom he had paid money also left him without caring him sincerely. From this he split his anger on the helper as well as himself.
The Svetlovidov had passed his 45years of life on the stage performance and entertained peoples, but that day no body cares about him. So he regrets on himself.On the time, with the regregation he enters the dressing room where he met with Nikita who give some sympathy towards him.

Actually, life is full of unexpectation. We all expect that our next move will bring us great fortune but at the end the result may by different. Then another move is made and another result is received. Life goes on and at last in old age when all our energy is fading we want to be with our family or relatives. When such hope is faded then we start remembering our past and burst in agony. That’s what happen with Svetlovidov in this story.

Also, human is social animal. We like to be in family and spent our time with family at old age. Love, care and devotion are very expected thing by every one of us. When we cannot achieve any one of these we may be lost in pain. As here with the Svetlovidov, life without support is disaster full of agony.

Also, I come to understand young love can both destroy and make any one life. As in story Svetlovidov loses hope another woman after rejection from one mentioned in the drama. He changed his mind toward the drama. He misunderstood the meaning of joy and happiness onward and spent his rest of life alone in agony.
