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.

Orijinal ismi "Highly Sensitive People In An Insensitive World" olan kitapta yazar daha hassas, duyusal anlamda daha narin insanlara kendilerini farklı olmaya zorlamadan oldukları gibi kabul etmelerine yardımcı bir çok yol sunuyor. Dışa dönük ve güçlü olmanın kabul gördüğü kültürlerde hassas olmanın yanliş bir şey olmadığını, aksine kişiliği zenginleştiren bir yönü olduğunu duymak güzel.. Belki yıllarca daha hızlı ve enerjik olma, daha az endiselenme konusunda tavsiyelere maruz kaldınız. Belki siz de kendinizde sorun olduğunu düşündünüz, degismeye çalışıp durdunuz. Çevrenize göre daha duyarlı bir insansınız; stres,sorunlar ve kavganın olduğu bir ortam sizi daha çok yoruyor, duyusal girdilere karşı daha hassassiniz. Bunlarin yanında empatik,temkinli, vicdanlı, ilhama açık bir yanınız da var. Bütün bu özellikler hayatta zorluklara neden olabilir; ancak aynı zamanda mutluluğu daha derinden hissedersiniz ve yakınlık, empati ve yaratıcılık için güçlü kaynaklardir. Kendimi "aşırı duyarlı " biri olarak niteleyemem, ancak hassas biri olarak kendim olma yolumda beni destekleyen, yakınımdaki aşırı duyarlı kişileri de daha iyi anlamama vesile olan bir kitap oldu.
