NINA

Why do you say that you have kissed the ground I walked on? You should kill me rather. I am so tired. If I could only rest—rest. I am a sea-gull—no—no, I am an actress.

What NINA wants

To make Konstantin — and herself — see that she has survived, and that endurance, not glory, is what matters now.Nina left home for Trigorin, lost her child and his love, and has spent two years as a provincial actress. She has come back, unannounced, half-broken.
