Stepan Stepanovitch Chubukov is the first character readers meet. He’s an elderly landowner who is intent on making his daughter, Natalya Stepanovna, happy. Chubukov is a stingy man. For example, when Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov pays him a visit, Chubukov pretends to be warm and welcoming, but he’s secretly worried that Lomov has come to ask him for money.
Chubukov’s daughter, Natalya Stepanovna, is the only female character in the play. She is 25-years-old. Natalya is a stubborn woman. For example, when she gets into an argument with Lomov regarding who owns Oxen Meadows, she insults him by calling him a "rascal" and a "monster."
Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov is the third character in the play. Although he’s 35 and appears to be healthy, he suffers from anxiety and heart trouble. Lomov seems to possess a weak personality. He can’t hold his own in any argument with Natalya. While in the middle of arguing with her about Oxen Meadows, he leaves, saying he’s suffering from heart distress. He later bows out of an argument over whose dog is the better hunter by complaining about his health. He cannot even work up the nerve to propose to Natalya properly. When Chubukov informs him that Natalya is "willing" to marry him, he responds with a lukewarm "I'm happy."
These three characters are at the heart of The Proposal's farce. All three exhibit exaggerated and absurd attitudes, behaviors, and personality quirks that add humor to the play.
Hopes this helps
Have a nice day.
