Abstract

The use of figurative language might reveal the poet's or playwright's deep-seated motives in composing the poem or the play, even if the poet or playwright is unaware of these readings. The goal of this research was to look at Anton Chekhov's one-act play "The Bear" through the lens of figurative language. According to the research, just two stylistic devices, Similes and Metaphor, were discovered in the play. Aside from that, the research was expected to explain the significance of literary approaches used in the play. The play's examination and discussion indicated that it is full of emotions such as love, hate, violence, depression, and dejection. There is also a lot of violence in the play. The play's style analysis helps to establish a rational and scholarly comprehension of the performance. Long-term consequences of the research include the following: it will benefit scholars, researchers, and students of literature and linguistics by improving their understanding of the language competency of enthusiastic learners.
