Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, 1860-1904 CE
Was a Russian playwright and physician
He was considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time
Chekhov wrote advice in letters to beginner playwrights
and he devised a dramatic principle, which was nicknamed Chekhov's Gun
In recent years the term has taken on the meaning of a plot element
that is introduced еarly in the story,
whose significance to thе plot does not become clear until later
This meaning is separate is from Chekhov's original intention with the principle
which relates to narrative conservation and necessity, rather than plot significance
I’ve amassed a fucking armoury by now
