Character Analysis of The Seagull - The Characters of Anton Chekhov's Comedy

Character Analysis of The Seagull - The Characters of Anton Chekhov's Comedy: "rina’s flaw is one found in many diva characters. She has an enormously inflated ego yet is terribly insecure. Here are some examples that showcase her incongruities:

She brags about her steadfast youth and beauty yet begs Trigorin to stay in their relationship despite her old age.
She flaunts her success but claims that she has no money to help her distressed son or her ailing brother.
She loves her son yet maintains a romantic relationship which she knows tortures Konstantin’s soul.
Irina’s life is filled with contradiction, an essential ingredient in comedy."
