Piece "Cherry Garden"
Leonid Andreevich Gaev - Brother of the main heroine of the play of Lyubov Ranevskaya. This is a man in the years, but torn away from reality. Gaevu is 51 years old, the hero loves sweet, loves to drink well and snug, terribly much says and what they say often turns out to be inappropriate. The hero behaves stupid and aware of it, however, like Ranevskaya, cannot cope with him. The daughters of Ranenevskaya, Gayev's nieces, constantly advise uncle to be silent, but he won't hesitate to these advice.
By the origin of Gaev - a landowner, but the entire state of the hero, according to his own expression, "drove on lollipops." The hero loves to pronounce solemn speeches on any occasion. Somehow, Gaev draws speech even to the bookcase. The hero adores billiards, and the terms associated with this game are often slipped into his speech.
Gaev is unusually lazy. The hero got a place in the bank, where he could receive six thousand income per year, but others do not believe that the hero will appreciate such a gift of fate and keep in this place. The old Laqi Firs still cares for Gaevs as if the child is, and the merchant of the leopaner with his characteristic of that rudeness calls Gaeva "Baba" and considers the hero of a strange and frivolous man. However, native, with all the shortcomings of Gaeva, belong to that with love.
Like a sister, Gaev rejects the idea of a blades to cut the cherry garden and give the land for rent to earn money, pay debts and save in this way. The hero agrees with the Ranevskoy that "cottages and dackets - it went," and builds ephemeral plans to take money on the redemption of the garden from a certain tetushki-Countess or give the niece Any Marry for a rich gentleman who will pay debts.
Gaev gives the Ranevian promise that the estate will not be sold with trading for debts, but does not take anything to fulfill this promise. Ultimately, the estate of Ranevskaya buys at the auction the merchant Lopakhin, Ganev, Ranevskaya, children and servants left the saddened, and the cherry garden is cut down. Further biography of the hero is unknown.
Gaev and his sister are touchingly tied to the Cherry Garden, which embodies for both the best moments of life, youth and happiness. The images of Gaeva and Ranevskaya in the play represent a suspended past, which is inferior to the present, embodied in the image of a practical merchant of the blades.
