    cherry orchard is both a tragedy as well as a comedy....

    infact its a mingled sort of play by chekhov....

    If we see it under the destructive and losing authority from

    the hands of Lyubov family then on individual level we shall call it a tragedy ........

    but if we take it on the speeches of various comic and farcical characters included in it then we'l call it as a comedy.....

    As few critics call this play "A Comedy in Four Acts"

    Certainly on the whole it is about the emancipation in Russia when feudalism lost hold and serfs got freedom..........

    i think it is not a comdy or not a tragedy. bcz if we see on the charters then they are not serious in their roles.and always show their efficiency.
