Huh. And here I was, thinking Chekhov's brilliance was his portrayal of the exitential striving against the inevitability of death, when all the time it was nothing more than his having lived during an era of attractive clothes and furnishings! Nina's "It is the dream of my life, which will never come true" is less important than the dress she wears.
