Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -“My heart’s bursting!” -Who is the speaker? What happens immediately after the above comment?
The speaker of the above line is Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov. Chekhov portrays Lomov as a nervous character whose heart starts palpitating at the slightest excitement. So, the situation becomes critical when Natalya along with Chubukov start teasing him for having a ‘half-dead’, ‘silly’ dog Guess. Though Lomov requests them to stop, Natalya and Chubukov drive him crazy. They insult him in every possible way and also points out that he is weak both physically and mentally. This makes Lomov excited and he feels that his body is becoming numb. Ultimately, he faints and the situation takes another humorous dimension.
