IRONIJSKI MODUS HEROJA U DRAMAMA A. P. ČEHOVA: LJUBAV U VRIJEME IRONIJE
THE IRONIC MODE OF HEROES IN PLAYS BY A. P. CHEKHOV: LOVE IN A TIME OF IRONY

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the model of the figure of the hero in Anton Pavlovich Chekhov’s plays. In that sense, four of the most significant plays by A. P. Chekhov were analysed, and literature on the 20th century drama poetics was consulted in order to gain a clearer understanding of the construction of the dramatic world of characters. Specifically, the focus is on four plays in four acts: Three Sisters, Ivanov, The Seagull and Uncle Vanya. For the purpose of placing love in the central context of this work, the play The Cherry Orchard has not been included in the analysis. The title of the paper contains a thesis on the functioning and construction of characters in plays based on the principle of irony, which the author aims to examine and prove. In doing so, it is very interesting to deal with such a model of a hero placed in dramatic situations from the perspective of A. P. Chekhov, a writer who writes his characters from the perspective of the writer-analyst.
