I found blocking and running through this scene a little more challenging as I have more lines and more actions to carry out. However, I feel this scene really begins to explore Ranyevskaya's character in greater detail. I begun by giving her the objective for the scene as; to settle in (same as previous scene) but also to ignore and block. She wants to settle herself into her estate again, "...I shall never survive this joy..." as she's evidently extremely excited to back in such a familiar place. But when Lopakhin brings up the issue of selling the orchard, she instantly reprimands it with the fac the orchard is a valuable heirloom, "...my dear forgive me but you don't understand." This also gives an indication of the relationship between Lopakhin and herself as they are both quite fond of one another but Lopakhin is extremely oblivious to how Ranyevskaya feels about ideas. Acting this scene out really helped me develop an understanding of their relationship and how I should portray that as effectively as I could.
I action-ed my first chunk of lines, from "Is this really me sitting here..." to "...still alive." as to validate and to communicate as she's validating how much this estate and the country means to her "Oh, but I love my country...", she's really expressing how much this place means to her and the emotions she's attached to it, "...I did nothing but weep..". She then communicates with Firs and greets him with a large amount of respect, "Thank you, Firs, thank you, my dear." - this gives me an understanding on how she communicates with him and her use of "dear", gives me an idea about how much she respects him and his place in the house hold. I action-ed my next set of lines, from "I can't sit still..." to "my dear old table." as to ignore and to reminisce. Ranyevskaya makes an instant point of ignoring what Lopakhin, giving an indication of her feelings towards what he's trying to say - this could also suggestion something about her characterization; that she ignores many of the issues facing her in her life. This gives me a better understanding of her personality and how she's paying more attention to the physical objects of the room, "..my own dear bookcase.." than to the issues Lopakhin is trying to convey. This piece of dialogue also gives me a chance to explore how she moves about the room and how she holds her physicality. She's further reminiscing on the objects presented to her in the room, using words such as "..my dear old.." to convey how much they mean to her.  I then action-ed "I don't entirely..." as to question as she's questioning Lopakhin and herself if she really is hearing what he's saying, she can't quite comprehend what he's proposing. I action-ed the next set of lines as; to respond - She instantly defends the orchard and presents how high in value she holds it "..something rather remarkable.."  -this shows the extent of her emotions and attachment towards the orchard. I then action-ed my last line "And what's happened..." as to question as she's almost asking a question that she doesn't want to know the answer to, it feels as if she's nervous the orchard will fall into the future of the dried cherry recipe.

 The first part from "Is this really me sitting here..." to "They wrote and told me.." I split into one unit as it mainly involves Ranyevskaya finding her footing in this scene and settling back in her old familiar surroundings, familiarizing herself with objects and a room from her past. Her main objective in this objective is to settle in and feel at home again. Then I split "I don't entirely understand..." to "...then it's our cherry orchard" into another unit as it mainly involves the discussion about the issues surrounding the cherry orchard and the character's reactions to Lopakhin's suggestion, Ranyevskaya's main objective in this unit is to ignore and constantly block out what Lopakhin is saying.  I put the rest of the dialogue into one other unit as it moves onto Firs talking about the old cherry recipe they used to use in the past, all the other character's are exasperated by the discussion beforehand. Ranyevskaya's main objective in this unit is to question Firs' statements about the recipe and try and forget all the issues surrounding the sale of the orchard. It's almost as if she uses Firs as a distraction, rather than face the situation full on.
