The Story:
Fiddler on the Roof follows Tevye, a poor milkman in the village of Anatevka, who struggles to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions in the face of changing times. As his daughters begin to challenge long-standing customs—particularly those around arranged marriage—Tevye must reconcile his deep-rooted beliefs with the desires of the people he loves. His wife, Golde, is a pragmatic woman who faces the same generational and societal shifts with strength and determination. Their daughters—Tzeitel, Hodel, and Chava—each forge their own paths in love and identity.
Other key characters include Motel, a poor tailor in love with Tzeitel; Perchik, a radical student who falls for Hodel; Fyedka, a young Russian soldier who courts Chava; Lazar Wolf, a wealthy local butcher; and Yente, the town matchmaker.
