Abstract

Human’s aspirations and wishes have been always promising to the life and future because human without hope and wish is not able to continue the life. This is an intrinsic part of human life that has been appearing in the literature, too. In the play "The Seagull" which has been called the most personal art work of Chekhov, we faced to heroes who have high wishes and aspirations in their mind; they talk   about their ideal very well and dream a better life, but do nothing to achieving the desired objectives. In this play, Chekhov also describes human beings who do not have the ability to face the truth and the life and accept their fate, but on the other hand, he describes heroes who by all the suffering and setbacks of life do not stop and find their way to happiness and victory.
