He positively reminds us that sometimes peoplehave to abandon beliefs they were used to. Similarly, The Cherry Orchard,a play about freedom and liberation by a famous Russian playwright, AntonChekhov instructs the way liberation and freedom leads us through differentpaths in life to independence. Chekhov’s characters expose to what extent theyare dependent on the system which controls them. Both the plays give usthe dope to know liberation which comes to mean differently to any of abstractidentifications and also breeds various results for different people. In Pygmalion, heroine’s mentalchanges compromises freedom and liberation which is resulted by gettingeducated and the growth of rationality in her mind. Likewise, The Cherry Orchard reflects a group of people’sreaction at the time serfs got social liberation. This comparative studyinvestigates the effects of mental and social liberation symbolized in Britishand Russian societies through defining the major characters’ social identity.
