When he realizes that Nina still loves Trigorin, Konstantin Treplev commits suicide.
One character in this play justifies a love affair by reminding the audience that in his youth, he was preoccupied by making a name for himself rather than finding love. The lover of that character hands him a medallion with the line "if you ever need my life, come take it" from his book Days and Nights. One character compares his mother's relationship with her lover to Gertrude's with Claudius; for that insolence, he gets run off stage when two red eyes and the smoke of sulphur are released during a performance. The sound of that character's suicide is compared to the pop of a cork by the (*) doctor Dorn, who is attracted to Paulina. In this play, Medvedenko finally gets to marry Masha, who is still deeply in love with a successful writer who kills the title animal for Nina. When he realizes that Nina still loves Trigorin, Konstantin Treplev commits suicide. For 10 points, identify this play by Anton Chekov.
