She is entirely self-obsessed, and yet worries about Konstantin after his aborted play, and particularly, after his first attempt at suicide (between Acts 2 and 3). Like many things in the play, Arkadina is extremely contradictory. Still, she is successful and a member of the highest class. Once upon a time, Arkadina may have been famous and beautiful, but she now seems more shrewish and selfish than anything else. She is having a love affair with Trigorin, the famous writer, much to the displeasure of her son Konstantin. A famous actress, extremely neurotic and self-obsessed, Arkadina is one of the principal protagonists of the play. ![]()
