Susanna Moiseyevna
Susanna
also: Сусанна Моисеевна, Сусанна, еврейка, the Jewess
A wealthy, unmarried young Jewish widow living alone on her late father's distillery estate, drawn by Chekhov as a bundle of contradictions -- self-loathing and self-love, contempt for and identification with her own people, seductive charm and calculated menace -- who takes the promissory notes from each cousin in turn and, by the story's end, has drawn a whole circle of the district's married, 'respectable' men back to her house.
