Well, 'The Seagull'' is more in the fashion of a GOOD Chekhov work, it's overflowing with humanity, it teaches but does not moralize and its intensity is subdued by its steady flow that keeps it being overdramatic.
There's a bit of autobiography here, Chekhov seems to be reflecting on his own struggles as a writer and his need to be accepted and wanted by his audiences and critics,on which apparently he placed great emphasis, this comes out a lot in Trepliov and Trigorin's characters and personalities, as well as in Arkadina, a matriarchal entity that hovers over the life and career of Trepliov. One can easily imagine Chekhov feeling the same way Trepliov felt, when his mother criticized his play, in reaction to the reviews of 'The Seagull' at the time.
The instable nature of human emotions is a constant in this play, everyone seems to be losing their minds over love, literally throwing in their lot for whatever path their wayward hearts might show them and the typical bubbling to the surface of this theme of human feelings conflicting which other is well arranged, nothing is over the top and there's gentle understanding in the ways in which the characters struggle and in the ways in which the reader is meant to interpret said struggles.
The ending tops it off wonderfully, it's a somber, calm before the storm kind of setting and rounds up a work that is both unnerving in its depth to which it reflects on how one can get lost in his head , like Trepliov does and the insensitive and sometimes heartless world that one must confront and the need to always push through no matter what is thrown at you along the way.
