	Fiddler on the Roof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tevye initially is reluctant to speak with Lazar because he is under the impression that Lazar wants to buy his milk cow instead of wanting to marry his daughter.
		Tevye is late arriving home because his horse has broken his foot (a running joke of the play, as the horse never actually appears, although the play takes place over the course of something like a year).
		Tevye is saddened by this, but the Constable says he is powerless to stop it, and that he expects that no one will actually be hurt.

	BBC - h2g2 - 'Tevye's Daughters' - the Short Stories
		In the last story Tevye is an old and bitter man: after many tragic events he, and all other Jews of that region, are forced to leave Boyberik (the village where he lives, close to Anatevka) and Tevye emigrates (it is not clear whether he emigrates to the United States or to Palestine).
		Tevye tried to tell Beilke she didn't have to marry Padhatzur, that money isn't everything; 'just look at your sister Hodel, who is still happy as a pauper'.
		Finally, Tevye is confronted with Chava again; she appears in the room, while he is packing his things, and close to tears she can only bring herself to say one word, 'Father'.

	Tevye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tevye is both a tragic and a comic figure.
		He sees himself through hard times by a quiet resignation and by recalling Talmudic or biblical quotations, usually rather garbled, and he is always true to his generous heart, even when reason tells him to do otherwise.
		Tevye is also the name of a 1939 film adaptation of Sholom Aleichem's story (also known as Tevya and Tevye der Milchiker, and Tevye the Milkman).

		Cossacks are threatening its Jewish residents, and Tevye's three oldest daughters are turning their father's firmly held beliefs, religious and otherwise, upside down.
		The confrontations between Tevye and his recalcitrant offspring form the core of what "Fiddler" is all about.
		The milkman's oldest daughter disregards her parents' choice and demands to marry a poor tailor; the second runs off to Siberia to be with a student revolutionary; and daughter number three marries outside her religion _ in Tevye's eyes, the most unforgivable sin.

		Tevye has five beloved daughters; however, he is a poor man, who has neither the status nor the wealth to insure them a good marriage.
		Having arranged a good marriage for Tzeitel (Sally Murphy) with the town’s widowed butcher, Tevye is poleaxed by the news that she won’t marry the old man; in fact, she has pledged herself to the gangling, impecunious tailor, Motel (the droll John Cariani).
		Tevye saves face with his ambitious wife by faking a nightmare so vivid that it convinces even her that Motel is the man for Tzeitel.

	Fiddler On The Roof
		Tevye, one of the most memorable characters of the musical stage, is a religious Jew who has personal conversations with God.
		Meanwhile, there are oppressive forces at work in Anatevka which force Tevye and his fellow villagers from their homes.
		Memorable scenes include “Do You Love Me” sung by Tevye to his wife of three decades, Golde; the wedding scene with its bottle dance; the moment of parting when daughter Hodel goes, as the song puts it, “Far From the Home I love” and the wild dream scene.

		Tevye tells Golde that there is a new world, where love is the most important factor in making decisions about marriage.

		But they are also his curse, for Tevye doesn't have a son to recite kaddish after he dies.
		They do so by creating characters that are lost in the shifting landscape of literature and the imagination: the adulterous French doctor's wife, while reading romances, daydreams her escape from her marital frustration; the milkman, on the other hand, wonders as he wanders through a labyrinth of midrashic misquotations.
		But Tevye is closer to my heart because he ridicules erudition -- he is the ultimate rabbi: ignorant, but astonishingly wise.

	National Yiddish Book Center - Tevye the Dairyman by Sholem Aleichem
		Tevye holds God responsible for all his losses but he never denies God; for Tevye, as Hillel Halkin writes in the introduction, "to curse God is to die." Tevye is no theologian inventing excuses for God, or philosophical systems that explain God's behavior.
		Tevye loses everything, but instructs Sholem Aleichem to "say hello for me to all our Jews and tell them wherever they are, not to worry." With or without God's help, he perseveres.
		The stories that comprise Tevye the Dairyman were written over the course of several decades with little or no overall plan for their structure.

		Tevye can misquote the Bible because he knows that his audience will get the jokes (along with the many others he cracks), but he can also argue with God with such intimacy that he could be joking with a friend—because, despite all his suffering, Tevye knows that God will not abandon him.
		Tevye has his share of bitter humor—after describing how one daughter leaves for Siberia, he famously says, “You know what, Mr.
		Some even told me that they were personally inspired by Tevye’s unflagging faith and humor, and that they had adopted him as a model as they faced their own private tragedies.

		Tevye's query is really the following: I inhabit a minuscule particle situated somewhere in an endless universe teeming with countless stars, galaxies, and planets of mind-boggling proportions.
		Tevye's second error is his assumption that the "vast eternal plan" is modular, consisting of interchangeable, disposable parts.
		Thus, replacing Tevye the pauper with Tevye the magnate would have no impact outside of Anatevka and should easily be accommodated by the vast eternal plan.

		As Hodel, the second of Tevye's and Golde's daughters, Kubicek illuminates both the fun and the sadness of her character.
		At their farewell, Tevye prays that God will at least keep his child warm — and LaRosa stages it so that, even if she's shipping off to Siberia, we see the father's wishes granted.

		Tevye, the poor milkman who has one-sided conversations with God and the tsuris of dealing with three independent daughters, is a wonderful, full-bodied character; if a "Fiddler" production is to work, the actor playing him has to connect solidly with the audience.
		Yet Molina's Tevye is also extremely funny, with the actor nailing every amusing line with the flair of a stand-up comic, and getting additional laughs with his perfectly timed reactions.
		As each of Tevye's three daughters betrays tradition by rejecting matchmaking and finding her own man (a poor tailor, a radical whose views anticipate the coming revolution, and a gentile), Tevye feels angry and rejected, even humiliated.
