Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov had written The Cherry Orchard in which he thought we would give attention to the deepest wishes and worries of his people while Henrik Ibsen, considered to be the father of modern theatre wrote Ghosts in which he explored and exposed the harsh certainty that lay down behind the countless facades donned by his character types.
Both Chekhov and Ibsen spoke the 'unspoken' in their literary works. Through their character types, they explored many topics that were considered taboo in their day. Lots of the actions and reactions of the personas that inhabit their plays are based on the conditions of life at that time.
The central issue in the Cherry Orchard revolves around Madame Ranevsky's uncooperative refusal to accept the product owner Lopakhin's plan to save their heavily mortgaged estate by reducing their favorite cherry orchard.
