Hello friends today we are discuss this question, the question is -‘Oh, don’t go round and round it, darling!’ – Who is addressed as ‘darling’? What is ‘it’? Who is the speaker? Why does he make this comment?
In the above mentioned line, Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov as ‘darling’. Lomov visits Chubukov’s house to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. But he cannot tell Chubukoy the real of his visit as he becomes very nervous at the time. Therefore nervous ‘it’ refers to the spoken words which Lomov wants to say but cannot. Here the speaker is Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov. Arriving at chubukov’s house, Lomov Mills Chubukov that he has come to ask him for a avour. Then he starts hesitating a lot about telling him what the favour is. Chubukov grows impatient and wants to know what Lomov exactly wants to say. He thinks that Lomov has come to his house to borrow money tom him. That is why he makes the comment.
