37. In your textbook, the subtitle of The Cherry Orchard is A Comedy in Four Acts. Anton Chekhov famously disagreed with the play's first director, Konstantin Stanislavsky, about whether the play was a comedy or a tragedy. Choose one-comedy or tragedy-and defend your position with evidence from the text.

Step-by-step explanation:

I would tell you it is a comedy, Many works like this are very tragic in the sense of being a comedy (basically they make it tragic to laugh at how horrific it is). For example, "I may be rich, I've made a lot of money, but ... I'm a peasant through and through." Here the character is joking about his past and implies a giving power to a peasant based on his income. so like imagine a homeless man saying he is president cause his wallet has more money in it then what your car is worth.
