Description
Chekhov's late masterpiece examines human behavior in all of its beautiful, terrible, laughable contradiction.
Things your life could be:
(1) a farce. (2) a tragedy. (3) pointless. (4) all of the above.
Things you could do about it:
(1) keep living. (2) stop living. (3) stop someone else living. (4) nothing.
Even so, what has your life been worth?
