Uncle Vania Act III

In Act III alcohol played an important role in my point of view, Astrov and Voitinsky both had too much to drink and their behaviors were altered by it. I found it very funny how they were both behaving and how Elena won importance in this act since she was the center of attention of Astrov, Voitinsky and Serebryakov. I remember perfectly the scene on the play when I saw it when Sonya claimed that she was ugly and it was very interesting recalling the play and the actors. I found that scene very funny in the play when it was acted but not as funny as when I read it. Maybe the author should include a more thorough description of each character so that the reader might have a clearer image of the characters. I couldn't understand why was Sonya in love with Astrov but I felt also sorry for her since Astrov wasn't in love with her and she had Elena by her side to remember her how unlikely it was for any man to fall in love with her if she was in Elena's company.
I was glad that at the end Elena and Sonya were friends and that they could understand each other better since Elena was her mother in law and she had influence over Serebryakov's opinion over Sonya. As I said before alcohol played an important role in this Act since most of the characters in this act where under the effects and their behaviors changed because of it. For instance, I don't think that Sonya and Elena would have gotten to talk and to become friends if they weren't under the effects of alcohol. On the other hand I found it very abusive that Astrov ignored what Elena was trying to say to him and that he insisted in having an affair with her even if she said she wasn't interested. How could he be so vain as to think that Elena would like him and have a crush on him since she arrived. It was obvious she wasn't happy with Serebryakov but that didn't necessarily mean that she would fall for any other man that came into her life. I was afraid that when Elena was kissing with Astrov, Sonya would come in and feel betrayed. I was relieved that the one to find out was Voitinsky and not Sonya, although I felt sorry for Voitinsky since he was also in love with Elena he would not go telling everybody about what he had seen since Astrov was his friend and he would gain Elena’s hate if he told everyone that he had seen her kissing another man not his husband.
Over this Act I was able to see clearly the true nature of Serebryakov he was inconsiderate with his friends whom had given all their lives to his well being and his prosperity. In this Act, the reader gets to witness a confrontation between Serebryakov and Uncle Vania, the reader at last sees the true selfishness of Serebryakov and the desperation of Voitinsky. At last Voitinsky shoots his gun and scares everyone, I remembered this scene clearly in the play when I watched it because the gun made a very loud sound and it got everyone’s attention. That scene had a great impact on the audience and it is one of those scenes that stays in your memory for a long time.
