Boris Trigorin

Trigorin fell out of love with her and returned to his former attachments, as was to be expected. However, he never abandoned his former ones, and due to his lack of character, he somehow managed to get by here and there. As far as I could understand from what I know, Nina's personal life was a complete failure." Living with Nina, Mr. Trigorin does not support her and laughs at her dreams. As a result, Nina loses faith in herself, becomes despondent and becomes a mediocre actress: "Yes... He didn't believe in the theater, he kept laughing at my dreams, and little by little I, too, stopped believing and lost heart... And then the worries of love, jealousy, constant fear for the little one... I became petty, insignificant, my acting was senseless... I didn't know what to do with my hands, I didn't know how to stand on stage, I couldn't control my voice. You don't understand this state when you feel that you are acting terribly. I am a seagull. No, that's not it..." After breaking up with Nina, Trigorin returns to Mrs. Arkadina, who, apparently, happily takes him back: "So, she brought him with her?" (about Trigorin and Arkadina) According to Nina, Trigorin ruined her, like a random hunter ruins a seagull out of boredom: "Remember, you shot the seagull? A man came by chance, saw it, and out of boredom ruined it..." Despite all the suffering caused, Nina Zarechnaya continues to love this scoundrel who abandoned her. The girl lives alone and works in provincial theaters: "When you see Trigorin, don't say anything to him... I love him. I love him even more than before... A plot for a short story... I love, I love passionately, I love to despair."

Meanwhile, the hero cheats on Nina and eventually leaves her: "Treplev. She ran away from home and got together with Trigorin. Do you know this? Dorn. I know. Treplev. She had a child. The child died.

You. You are simply spoiled by success. Trigorin. What success? I never liked myself. I don’t like myself as a writer.” More about The Seagull The Seagull War and Peace Trigorin considers himself a writer, false to the bone marrow, except when he writes about landscapes: “... I can only paint landscapes, but in everything else I am false, and false to the bone marrow.” The writer Trigorin calls himself a weak-willed person, sluggish, flabby and submissive: “I have no will of my own… I have never had a will of my own… Sluggish, flabby, always submissive...” He is a spineless person, according to Konstantin Treplev: “... and despite his spinelessness, he somehow managed to do both here and there.” He is a cowardly person, according to the same Konstantin: “... his nobility did not prevent him from playing the coward. He leaves. A shameful escape!" (Treplev) A young girl, Nina Zarechnaya, falls in love with Trigorin and admires his talent and success: "Ah, I'm so glad... (Embarrassed.) I always read you..." (Nina) "You may be dissatisfied with yourself, but for others you are great and beautiful!" (Nina to Trigorin) Trigorin is also carried away by Nina and for her sake wants to leave Mrs. Arkadina, with whom he lives: "Arkadina (in great excitement). Are you so carried away? Trigorin. I am drawn to her! Perhaps this is exactly what I need." "... I am talking to you, but I seem to be sleeping and seeing her in a dream... I am overcome by sweet, wonderful dreams... Let me go..." In Nina, the hero finds "poetic love", which he has never experienced before: "Trigorin. If you want, you can be extraordinary. Love, young, charming, poetic, carrying you away to a world of dreams—only it can give happiness on earth! I have never experienced such a love... In my youth, there was no time, I was knocking on the doors of editorial offices, struggling with poverty... Now here it is, this love, it has finally come, beckoning... What is the point of running from it? Arkadina (angrily). You've gone mad! Trigorin. So be it." Nina runs away from home to Moscow, where she lives with Trigorin. From this affair, Nina gives birth to a child, who soon dies. Meanwhile, the hero cheats on Nina and at the end

What is so good about it? (Looks at his watch.)" Trigorin considers his life wild because he has to write all the time: "Day and night I am overcome by one persistent thought: I must write, I must write, I must... I have barely finished a story when for some reason I already have to write another, then a third, after the third a fourth... I write continuously, as if on postal trains, and I can’t do otherwise. What is so beautiful and bright about this, I ask you? Oh, what a wild life! Here I am with you, I am worried, and meanwhile every moment I remember that an unfinished story awaits me." More The Seagull The Seagull War and Peace The writer Trigorin admits to Nina Zarechnaya that he has no peace from himself because of his profession: "When I finish work, I run to the theater or go fishing; I would like to rest here, to forget, but no, a heavy cast-iron core is already turning in my head - a new plot, and I am already drawn to the table, and I need to hurry to write and write again. And so it is always, always, and I have no peace from myself, and I feel like I'm eating my own life..." Despite his success and talent, Trigorin feels like those around him don't really admire him and think he's crazy: "...it seems to me that this attention from friends, the praise, the admiration - it's all a deception, they're deceiving me like a sick person, and sometimes I'm afraid that at any moment they'll sneak up on me from behind, grab me and take me, like Poprishchina, to a madhouse." More The Seagull The Seagull War and Peace Trigorin is upset that the public considers and will always consider him worse than Tolstoy or Turgenev: "And the public reads: "Yes, nice, talented... Nice, but far from Tolstoy," or: "A wonderful thing, but Turgenev's Fathers and Sons is better." And so until the grave, everything will be only sweet and talented, sweet and talented - nothing more, and when I die, acquaintances, passing by the grave, will say: “Trigorin lies here. He was a good writer, but he wrote worse than Turgenev.” Trigorin also admits that he never loved himself as a writer: “Nina. Forgive me, I refuse to understand you. You are simply spoiled by success. Trigorin. What success

She leads a senseless life, always fussing over that writer...” (Konstantin Treplev about his mother and Trigorin) He is a noble man with a simple soul, according to Arkadina, who is in love with him: “Don’t be embarrassed, my dear. He is a celebrity, but he has a simple soul. You see, he himself was embarrassed.” (Arkadina) “This is a most noble person...” (Arkadina) More The Seagull The Seagull War and Peace Trigorin is an intelligent, talented writer, according to Arkadina: “You are so talented, intelligent, the best of all today's writers, you are Russia's only hope... You have so much sincerity, simplicity, freshness, healthy humor...” He is a talented writer, according to Konstantin Treplev at the beginning of the play. In the middle of the play, the young man changes his opinion about Trigorin: “As for his writings, then... how can I tell you? It's sweet, talented... but... after Tolstoy or Zola you won't want to read Trigorin." "And I don't respect him. You want me to consider him a genius too, but, forgive me, I can't lie, his works disgust me." He is a simple man, in Masha's opinion: "I wish you! You are a simple man, it's a pity to part with you." The writer Trigorin really likes fishing: "I love to fish. For me there is no greater pleasure than to sit in the evening on the shore and look at the float." "And isn't it strange, a famous writer, a favorite of the public, they write about him in all the newspapers, his portraits are sold, he is translated into foreign languages, and he fishes all day and is happy that he caught two chubs." More about the seagull The Seagull War and Peace Being a famous and talented person, Trigorin, apparently, does not feel happy: "Nina. <...> ...others, like you, for example, you are one in a million, have had an interesting, bright, meaningful life... You are happy... Trigorin. Me? (Shrugging.) Hm... You talk about fame, about happiness, about some kind of bright, interesting life, but for me all these good words, forgive me, are like marmalade, which I never eat. You are very young and very kind. Nina. Your life is wonderful
