Library's collection Library's IT development CancelDrama deals with emotion and intelligence. The complexities of this
literary genre have encouraged me in choosing drama. From all kinds of drama
that I have read, I decided to choose Anton Chekhov with his work The Seagull.
The subjective reason why I chose his work is because it involves so many things
without really having any action. It is a simple sketch of the events and dialogue
of people?s lives, and yet the characters and their personalities are much more
complex than what is spelled out in the play. This play talks much about social
life which ordinarily happens with ordinary people who get involved in it.
Furthermore, it discusses much about suicide which becomes my subject. In this
thesis, I will analyze the reasons why Kostya commits suicide. Since this analysis
will concern much with the causes of Kostya?s suicide, I decide to use literary
approach with the literary devices of characterization and conflict.In my analysis,
I find that the reason of Kostya?s suicide lies on loneliness which is influenced
much by the conflicts he is unable to overcome. As a conclusion, people need
support from other people to expand their social life. Poor social life and low selfacceptance
can influence someone to commit suicide.
