In the opening act of this play, one character compares another's life to pouring water from one pitcher to another for twenty five years. Another character in that opening scene notes how he has worked too hard his entire life and that now he has a "long, silly mustache." In the final act of this play, a woman takes a pencil as a keepsake from a character who'd earlier kissed her and claimed not to love Sonya. The announcement of a plan to move to Finland leads to this play's climactic scene, which occurs shortly after the main character laments his inability to become "another Schopenhauer or Dostoyevsky". The first and last acts of this play end with the doctor Telegin playing guitar as the curtain falls. This play was adapted from its author's earlier The Wood Demon. The title character's unrequited love for Elena, among other things, leads him to attempt to shoot Professor Serebryakov at the end of Act 3. For 10 points, identify this play by Anton Chekhov.
