Dear student,
The title of the play 'The proposal' is apt because the whole play revolves around Lomov's proposal to Natalya. Right from the beginning to the end of the play, the story revolves round the marraige proposal. Lomov's purpose in coming to Natalya's house is to propose to her. But, they end up arguing. As a result, Lomov becomes sick and leaves. Natalya's father informs her about the Lomov's intention and she starts lamenting over the loss. Lomov is requested to come back and finally proposes after yet another argument.
Regards
