Chekhov is very much a play about the past. However‚ it is more specifically about breaking free from the past through change and acceptance. The consistent theme of memory in terms of both forgetting and remembering are evident throughout the play. The quote at the end of the play where Firs is forgotten and the cherry orchard is cut down is an important symbol of the past dying away and the characters moving on. Firs ends the play and he represents the past in both historical and personal terms

Some people claim that the living in the present can actually cause more harm than good. They say that in order to lead a productive and profitable life‚ one must study both the past and the future‚ the present is only a stepping stone. I think that this is quite the opposite.

The character of Mary Tyrone declares this quote and poses an ominous thought; the state of time is merely irrelevant in life. It does not matter whether one resides in the present‚ the past can hauntingly resurface; the hope for the future can consume and blur what occurs currently. The main characters of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named

trying to go back in the past can be very difficult but‚ trying to recapture the past exactly how it used to be is even harder because things never go back to how they were before‚ something always changes and will never be the same. In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald one sees how hard Gatsby tries to make things right with Daisy and go back to the ways things used to be. One also sees Gatsby trying to go back into the past not realizing that the past will never be the future.

The past is what creates the present‚ it is the reason why things happen now. Basically without the past there is absolutely no present. The past is what creates who we are and what we now are. Just like in The Great Gatsby all of the characters went through some phase in their lives that made them who they were at the end of the book. Gatsby‚ the main character for example‚ had gone through many somewhat unfortunate events before he was able to become rich and known by some people. When he was
