Chekhov's unique contribution to literature lies in his innovative use of the stream-of-consciousness technique and his departure from traditional story structures, which often lack moral conclusions. Balancing his roles as a doctor and a writer, he produced four acclaimed plays and numerous revered short stories. Despite initially renouncing theatre after the poor reception of The Seagull, his works found renewed success through the Moscow Art Theatre, which also premiered his last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard, solidifying his legacy in both drama and literature.
