When the topic of pickle symbolism comes into question, you have to think it is going to end in a Freudian phallic mess of Russian manhood and emasculation through the eras of a feudalistic aristocracy, businessman capitalism, and burgeoning communism. Or, it could end up be about pickling cherries as representative of the means that the Russian people utilize to store up through those harsh winters. In any circumstance, we had very successful observations regarding The Cherry Orchard today: its characters, it three governmental philosophies reflected in three of the characters, the symbolism of the orchard and the broken string, the randomness of comedic elements from the minor characters, Chekhov's gun theory, the idea of comedy in late nineteenth century Russia and its direct connection to the tragedy of a world in flux, and, of course, all of those characters' behaviors, decisions, dress patterns, and fiscal theories. Well, that was quite an enumeration. Since all of that was addressed, I have some supporting activities for us to do regarding The Cherry Orchard before we move onto The Metamorphosis. I wonder which Cherry Orchard character would best get along with dear Gregor Samsa.
However, before the return to the Orchard, or what was once the Orchard, chop chop, we have a full MC test to do tomorrow. Cue my lucky pencil! Plus allusion posters to share too!
