This paper is a review of "The Cherry Orchard" by Chekhov. It is a
play about
family relationships. The cherry orchard belongs to Madame Ranevsky and is used a
symbol for all that is
beautiful about this character and her family, as well as all that is
useless and futile. The writer looks at each characters perception of the orchard, which offers an insight into the weaknesses of these characters. The author argues that the fate of the cherry orchard reveals a
death impulse as well as a life sustaining one in the play.
