Cast of Characters:
Elena Popova – Young widow, has been mourning the loss of her husband for 7 months. She believes that she is inconsolably bereaved and has vowed to remain lonely and indoors for the rest of her life to teach her late husband a lesson about faithfulness.
Grigory Smirnov – Arrogant landowner who calls on Elena to collect the debt owed to him by her late husband. Smirnov considers himself a misogynist but finds himself infuriatingly charmed by Elena’s stubbornness.
Loukas – Servant in the Popova household who finds himself in the midst of the battle between Smirnov and Popova.
