2. You have read ‘The Proposal’, a one act play. It is a farce. The play is set in only one location, the drawing room of Chubukov’s house. All three characters in the play are quarrelsome people and they quarrel over petty issues. Lomov and Natalya start with the issue like a piece of land that is situated at the border between the two neighbors’ properties. The discussion turns into a quarrel and the marriage proposal is forgotten. They shout at each other.They are again dragged into an argument over the superiority of each other’s dogs. So, they drag their ancestors in their foolish quarrel. They again abuse each other and call names.
Now, make groups of four and discuss the following points. While conducting the discussion, try to use the facial expressions given above.
• The marriage proposal is a mockery of romance and marriage in the upper class.
• The pride in property, even the superiority of dogs, take priority over love and marriage.
• The characters lack patience, stop listening to each other,and then contradict each other.
• Do you think these quarrels will promise a happy life?
• What qualities would you consider for a well-matched couple?
• Do you think all of us should know how to manage our anger?

How Can We Control Anger?
Do you get angry when your mother switches off the television? Do you get upset when you lose a game? Do you crib when your teacher does not pay attention to you? Most of us can have “yes” as an answer to one or more of these situations. Anger sometimes gets the better of us and leaves us to regret the consequences later. The question is ‘How can we control anger?’
Anger is a normal and healthy emotion only if we know how to respond to it.
