As I continue to delve more deeply into this world of the Seagull and prepare for the mornings journey, I find myself wondering what everyone else wants. I'm beginning to think that Trigorin is a character that thinks he wants the best for everyone. He doesn't seem to take advantage of others and manipulate to make himself look glorious, and although he is seeking some kind of glory, fiscal success and acclaim are not his goals. Instead we see a aman that seeks to appease all. Not only all of you, but the whole of Russia. He hates to see the country and his people suffer, and would, if he could take all of the problems of Russia and make them his own. But he's no great hero and in manys ways is only identified by his writing, not his character. The only way he can really bring this desire to fruition is through his writing, but as Trigorin points out, he can't keep up. Landscapes can't wake a country deep in suffering. To him his writing is of no signifcance. Trigorin does w!
ant pleasant reviews, kindness, or praise, but rather to be told that his writing, his work, and in turn he himself are truly import.
