Quote #4

Konstantin: He's not dumb, though; he's not even forty yet and he's already rich and famous, he can have anything he wants. So now he only drinks beer and only goes for older women. (1.32)

Konstantin criticizes Trigorin's uninspiring writing, but clearly admires the way the man has managed to garner success and material comfort.

Quote #5

Medvedenko: How much do choir singers make, do you know? (1.161)

Shamrayev has told yet another boring story about performing artists, but all Medvedenko can think about is his income versus theirs.

Quote #6

Sorin: (Starts to whistle; then, hesitantly) I think the best thing might be for you to…well, to give him some money. (3.40)

Sorin knows what Arkadina's reaction to this request will be. He's sheepish and deferential when it comes to his strong-willed younger sister.
