Anton Chekhov's one-act vaudeville plays were characterized by brevity and conciseness, features that characterized all his literary works. Among the most important characteristics of these plays: the symbolic meaning of the minute details that help in an unprecedented way to embody the diverse phenomena as they are in real life, full of psychological emotions, bright feelings, noble emotions, vile behavior, and caricature touches, as well as the striving to do good and the predominance of intellectual and moral motives over material considerations. All of this clearly depicts the steady rhythm of life. The writer was able to embody life with great precision, which made the viewer absorb Anton Chekhov's theater and take with him a strong, real feeling.
