Uncle Vania Act IV

I was glad that at last Serebryakov and Elena were leaving. At last everything would be fine, they would get back to their routine and live their lives peacefully without having to take care of Serebryakov or having Elena as a distraction. I really hope at this point that Voitinsky achieves his happiness and independence, that for once in his life he can work for himself and spend his money however he wants to without having to worry to give anything to Serebryakov or to pay other debts. I was disillusioned with Voitinsky's attempt of suicide and his stubbornness in not wanting to return the medicine to Astrov and not wanting to reconcile with Serebryakov. I was annoyed with Astrov’s insistence regarding him and Elena. In his attitude towards Elena I could see how drunk he always was.
The repetition of at the end that at last everything was going to be alright and that they finally would rest made me feel happy for them. During their lives, Marina, Voitinsky, Sonya, Maria Vasilyevna, Astrov and Telegin had lived in servitude to other richer people like Serebryakov and his wife. At last they would be free and they at last had opened their eyes and seen that they better start working again for them and wait for their deaths so that they could rest at last. From this novel I got the feeling of idleness and life without reason of being. This play gave me the impression that life was miserable for most of the people in Russia back then and made me think of the present and realize that maybe many Colombians are living as well in the same conditions, unheard, ignorant, in servitude enslaved by people with money or prestige that pose as fake role models and don’t contribute for the actual developing of the nation or its culture.
