''Marriage'' (russian: «Женитьба», ''Zhenit'ba'') is a two-act play by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol, which was written in 1832 and first published in 1842. Plot summary In the opening scene, a civil servant named Ivan Kuzmich Podkolyosin sits alone in his room smoking a pipe and contemplating marriage.
