On the Art of Still Motion in Drama:Taking Chekhov's Uncle Vanya as an example
Still is a unique artistic form in drama.Static drama subverts the traditional writing style of drama that emphasizes plot and characters.Through appropriate silence and pauses on stage,actors give the audience enough time to deeply feel the changes in their spiritual world and find themselves in the univer-sal reality.Chekhov's plays,known for their stillness,use pauses to hinder the characters'words,actions,and plot,weaken dramatic conflicts,and present a form of stillness in the play.Taking Uncle Vanya as an ex-ample,this article analyzes the historical background of static nature in Chekhov's plays,as well as how he uses"stillness"to weaken external forms in his creations,showcasing the spiritual world of characters,creat-ing a melancholic and static lyrical atmosphere on stage,and revealing the most authentic Russian society to the audience through criticism and satire of the unfairness of reality.
