Emily Dickinson's popular poem "Hope is the Thing with Feathers" is believed to have been written around the year 1861. It creates an extended metaphor that compares hope to a bird, which lives in the human soul and continues to sing without stopping and without expecting anything in return.

A message that clearly emerges from this beautiful poem is that hope, when firmly entrenched within a human soul, enables the person to face challenges of life with confidence and calmness. It does not ask for anything in return. 'Hope costs nothing,'

"The Cherry Orchard" is the final play by Anton Chekhov, written in 1903 and first performed in 1904. This poignant work is set in the early 20th century and revolves around an aristocratic Russian family facing the impending sale of their estate, which includes a cherished cherry orchard. The play is often classified as a tragicomedy, blending elements of both comedy and tragedy.

The central characters include Lyuba Ranevskaya, the matriarch who returns from Paris, and her brother Leonid Gayev, who are both deeply attached to their family estate. As they grapple with their financial difficulties, they are confronted by the realities of social change in Russia, particularly the rise of the middle class represented by Lopakhin, a former serf who proposes to cut down the cherry orchard to build summer cottages.

Chekhov's work explores themes of loss, change, and the passage of time, reflecting the broader societal shifts occurring in Russia during this period. The cherry orchard itself serves as a powerful symbol of the family's past and the inevitable changes that come with modernization. Despite Chekhov's insistence that the play is a comedy, many audiences perceive a deep sense of tragedy in the characters' inability to adapt to their changing circumstances.

"The Cherry Orchard" is celebrated for its rich character development and emotional depth, making it a cornerstone of Russian literature and theater. Its exploration of human relationships and societal transformation continues to resonate with audiences around the world, ensuring its place as a timeless classic.
