Dysfuntional Family in Drama

The Ibsen heroine is at heart an innocent who comes to see the falsity of the social setting in which she lives, while the older Russian woman has lived a less respectable life. Lyuboff is also a foolish woman who is easily gulled by people such as Boris Borisovich. She and her brother both look back now to a happier time, a time symbolized for them by the orchard.
