Q.Selfish considerations soon changed the behaviour of Natalya towards Lomov.Discuss.
Ans:it is true that selfish considerations soon changed the behaviour of Natalya towards Lomov when Lomov comes to chubukov's house to propose to Natalya, he lands in a fight with her on the ownership of a piece of land called 'oxen Meadows'.After the initial greetings, the conversation veers to the ownership of 'Oxen Meadows' Lomov claims ownership of this property but Natalya doesn't agree to the point that Oxen Meadows are not theirs. she says that up to that she thought Lomov was a good neighbour. They let him their threshing machine last year. They had to postpone their threshing till November. she also quarrel with Lomov over oxen meadows and their pet dogs fighting hard to prove which one was a better breed. she is quite assertive, and fights and insults Lomov.Thus their first interaction was full of mudslinging and insulting each Other.
When chubukov tells Natalya that Lomov had come to propose to her for marriage, she at once changes her stance and asks her father to fetch Lomov in as he was too good a match financially to be lost. she also accuses Chubukov that he had driven Lomov out.
