I still prefer Ivanov, perverse though that opinion may be, but The Seagull is still wonderful. <br/><br/>There is not one character who isn't somehow sympathetic--another ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38209424">more...</a>]]></body>

My sense is that comedy in contemporary English has a simpler more shallow definition, namely somethin’ that makes you laugh. Shakesperean comedy is more than that, and so apparently is a comedy by Chekhov. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59948780">more...</a>]]></body>
