Internal links in Chekhov. From Texts to Contexts (“The Bride” and “The Cherry Orchard”)

Abstract
The article considers the context created by two of Anton Chekhov’s works – the story “The Bride” and the comedy “The Cherry Orchard”. The basis for contextualization are the resonances between the texts (both: purely textual and at the level of artistic techniques), which contribute to the explication of the author’s worldview.
Analysis shows that the contexts formed by Chekhov’s separate texts, the parallels between which can be seen over different parameters, give depth to meanings that in the texts taken separately are not always perceptible.
