Lubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya Timeline and Summary

Lubov returns to her childhood home in Russia after five years in Paris. She was involved there with a man who bled her dry financially, then cheated on her.
She learns from Lopakhin that the estate will be sold in three months. She and her brother Gaev reject Lopakhin's suggestion of turning the orchard into vacation lots.
Lubov sees Trofimov, her son's old tutor, and is reminded of Grisha's death.
In the second act, Lubov still refuses to come up with a plan for the estate. She continues to spend money unwisely.
The third act finds Lubov waiting anxiously for the result of the auction. Gaev's been sent with far too little money.
She learns that Lopakhin has bought the estate. She is crushed.
In Act 4, Lubov is leaving home again, with the intention of returning to her lover in Paris.
