Only one night may be directly addressed in the play, but the time spans more than twenty-four hours. This is made evident in Act IV, when the family is ready to move out and Lopakhin becomes master.

Explain these lines by Trofimov.

In essence, this speaks to the worthlessness of the land. It doesn't matter is the estate is sold because the land has become ineffective.... it is uncared for, overgrown. Wishing won't change anything and plans are worthless if there is no money...
