i love this scene! but i've always wondered, why didn't tevye look into chava's eyes? i know that he was angry at her for marrying a christian and becoming one, but y ddnt he @ LEAST look in her eyes?
@Pinkpanda73 I think that the whole idea of her marrying a Christian was just too out of tradition for him. He can only bend himself so far, it's just how he was raised. So he refuses to meet her eyes because he doesn't WANT to change his mind. With his other daughters, he knew he wasn't stepping to far out of his comfort zone. That's what I got anyway?
@Kassaremidybelllynn I agree. Some things can be changed, and it does not say in the Bible that people are not allowed to arrange their own matches, but it is expressly, totally, unchallengeabely forbidden to marry a non-Jew.
@HEBisreal No no. That's Fyedka and Chava. Perchik is a Jew- a Marxist or some such, but a Jew nevertheless. This is why he's called Reb Perchik, why he covers his head, why he mingles amongst the Jewish community, and why he's allowed to marry and teach them.
@Sami7685 why should that meant he is not religious? the participants of the revolution were made up of the discontented sections of society, of which the Jews were one.
I love the song for both this scene and the scene with Tzeitel and Motel. I think it's a combination of a catchy tune and Topol's voice-it just has a power, yet softness to it that makes it very endearing.
how the hell does he just suddenly get so far away lol

Perchick is a modern thinking Jew. They do get married, but Tevye does not disown Hodel. Like his other daughter for marrying the Russian.

Perchik is a orthodox Christan!

@HEBisreal I don't think so, or else Tevye would forbid their marriage like he did for the youngest daughter later.

@HEBisreal I take it he is not religious, as he participates in the 1905 Russian Revolution.

Hahahaha!!! "Perchik, please, I can handle my own wife!" Hahahahaha!!! Tevye loves and respects his wife so much, that's why he fears her.
