Women wring their hands, listening to what Anton Pavlovich Chekhov thinks of them

Chekhov never put love and women first in life. Even with his legal wife Olga Knipper, he communicated with letters. The writer devoted himself to talent, so he did not have enough time for his personal life. However, in the books of the writer you can find some reflections on the opposite sex and bright feelings. In this article we have collected the most interesting Chekhov's quotes on love.



Some of the statements about women may seem ironic, sly, sometimes too frank. Such was Chekhov himself - being a real writer, he did not hide his opinion and always said what was on his soul.



It is said that men love with their eyes. This is true, but not everything depends only on the appearance of a woman. Chekhov said, “No woman can pay her husband for her emptiness by any beauty.”



"I'm gentle, kind, what else does he need?" the ladies object. But everyone has a void. A wise woman realizes she needs to be filled with what men feel with an invisible radar. But beautiful eyes, a slender figure and silky hair are a pleasant bonus to the rich inner world. A real man dreams of such a woman.

“A woman does not bring any benefit to her country.” She does not go to war, does not rewrite papers, does not build railways, and locking a decanter with vodka from her husband, helps to reduce excise duties.



Unfortunately, these words do not fit into the modern world. Now women have more freedom to choose what to do and how to build a family and relationships. Men may have built the world, but who inspired them? Who supported them, providing a reliable backup? Of course they are women. This is what helps them express their true feelings. But it happens, unfortunately, that men do not notice this.

“No one wants to love an ordinary person in us,” Chekhov said. In his opinion, everyone who sits at the broken trough dreams of being the “mistress of the sea”. She believes that all the resources and material goods at her feet should bring a man. Take care of her, build a family, and she'll just sit back.



The main goal of such women is to choose the right man. However, such mutually beneficial relations are doomed. Marriage of convenience should be at least a mutual decision. Ordinary men dream of beautiful women. But beauties, in turn, are looking for wealthy, wealthy representatives of the stronger sex. They don’t want to value anything other than their own comfort.



Another interesting quote I decided to leave at the end of the article. It goes like this: “Women without male companionship fade.” And men without women are stupid. What exactly did the author want to say? Write in the comment.
