The emperor was himself the high priest of a cult of social order. The three main bonds of the Confucian social order were the filial piety of children to their superior parents, the admirable devotion of wives to their superior husbands, the loyalty of scholar officials to their superior the emperor.

It is a particularly misguided way to stage Ivanov, Chekhov's first full-length play. There are strong traces of Chekhov himself in the main character, a disillusioned intellectual whose model estate is hopelessly in the red, whose zealotry has dwindled to cynicism. Ivanov cannot merely be observed, he must be felt...
