Further investigation into The Seagull by Anton Chekhov

"A young girl lives all her life on the shore of a lake. She loves the lake, like a seagull, and she's happy and free, like a seagull. But a man arrives by chance, and when he sees her, he destroys her, out of sheer boredom. Like this seagull." "If you ever need my life, come and take it." "I am an actress."

References to Shakespeare and Hamlet. Subtext (speaking in ways which skirts around the issues) heavily used.

P. 58 L. Ferlinghetti [] American poet, painter and liberal activist Mentioned possibly because of the topics in his poems and one of his books called 'Pictures of the Gone World'  -> Summer College and change P. 58 A. Chekhov []  Russian short-story writer, playwright and pysician Between Chekhov and Rita you’ll find some similarities. For example both of them had to pay for education and there’s a time in their life when there’s a turning point. Chackov had a couple of turning points mainly due to illnesses. For Rita the turning point just happened during Summer College. She has changed, because of education. You could say that Rita felt sick and tired of live and wanted to change it.

Nada: educating Rita pages 20-24 E.M. forester: E.M. forester is a novelist best known by his ironic novels that examines the class difference,hypocrisy and homosexuality .we can also find these features in educating Rita which creates a sort of link between wily Russell the writer of the play and E.M forester mentioned by wily Russell on frank’s tongue ,and so we can see their similarity of ideas and the reason why Russell chose forester’s character to be mentioned in his play 2) Howards end: page20 __[]__ Howards end is forester’s novel that shows the class struggle, and the difficulties that occur from the relationships between members of different social classes which is also something we can see in educating Rita as there is the class struggle and the fight that took place between both frank and Rita as the consequence of their relationship as they both come from a different class so Russell chose to refer to this particular book Howards end because it has kind off the same idea as his play as I stated above the similarity between the two writers minds 3) Jane Austin: page22: __[]__ 4) Tracy Austin: page22 __[]__ Rita the non educated Rita at the beginning of the play didn’t know the difference between Tracy Austin and Jane Austin who are two completely different people, Jane Austin is a writer and Tracy Austin is a tennis player . 5) f.
