It speaks to the upper class and the middle/lower classes at the same time, addressing them both while maintaining a unity in the play that brings the classes closer together. This encompassed naturalism, because it cause the upper class to look less like a fantastic entity that was to be greatly desired, and more like regular people who made mistakes just like everyone else. Also, Checkov was known for his socialistic approach to his plays, and that theme is woven into this one, as well. <span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 80%;"> //<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">[set actual footage of the play over this] // **<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Conclusion Scene: ** // [Pan an empty stage] // //<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 19.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">[End of scene and movie] //

During this time period the up and coming middle class was challenging the old system of the aristocracy. During this time four major writing and political movements developed: Socialism, Anarchism, Expressionism and Naturalism.

Anton Chekhov comments on this movement in his plays. During this time in Chekhov’s native Russia the Bolsheviks had gotten rid of the Imperial family and established a communist country. The wealth of the Imperials caused the peasants to revolt in 1917.
 * <span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Actor 2: **<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> The peasants revolted and killed the Romanov regime. However, even before that Chekhov writes about the conflict between the wealthy and the poor. He tends to sentimentalize the old regime especially in his play the Cherry Orchard. The wealth of the old regime is distributed among all the people in Russia, or so they say.

Anarchism was a belief of August Strindberg. He too felt the conflict between the classes was a problem of society. After the fall of the Paris Commune in 1871, he started to believe in anarchist socialism.

Naturalism is the movement away from the bourgeois to the common people. There is no supernatural element in this style.

It also moves away from the cultural norms of the time, and incorporates nature into its art forms.

Natural situations happen in these plays; there is no sense of the mystical or the spiritual. The characters react in a way that would be natural in the given situation. To reflect this, the sets would be…

The set design would try to reflect the setting that the characters would live in, a style that would not work with older eras of theater such as Shakespearean plays. In modern movies, this style of theater is almost the standard.

They were not just sitting idly in a corner somewhere, sewing or cooking dinner; they were count’s daughters, swept up in adventure and falling in love. This was a sign of the progress that the world was making during this time.

It was a love story about two men trying to seduce their respective mates; in order to do this, they each adopted the name Earnest—hence the title of the play—and of course misrepresentation and other hijinks ensued. The play was a satire, and poked a lot of fun at Victorian culture and the flaws in it. Not only that, but its playwright, Wilde, was an openly gay man, and he was prosecuted because of this and ultimately imprisoned. He never wrote another play after //<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Earnest //<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">. These things marked a turning point for both literature and society, because it showed how people were becoming markedly bolder, both with their prose and their actions in life.

The playwrights simply adapted the hard facts into beautifully written prose.
