Research question; Chekhov and Ibsen?

Can someone help me find a research question, that involves stanislavski's method and a comparison between Chekhov's the seagull and Ibsen's A Doll's House (or another play by Ibsen)? I'm really desperate!!!

Research question; Chekhov and Ibsen?
Stanislavski co-founded the Moscow Art theater and it's first production was Chekhovs' "The Seagull." It was after this that stanislavski developed his method. Chekhov often stated that the key to acting in his plays was the language.The answer to everything is "in the text." There was no creating circumstances or making up relationships to people,..it's all in the text. Stanislavski's method is all about thinking of a moment in your past and connecting it to the emotion or objective of the scene which is contrary to what Chekhov demanded of his actors. The stanislavski's method would be more suitable for any Ibsen play.There's quite a lot of unspoken tension in his plays and that is a key element of Ibsen,of what is going on between the dialogue.So you could say that Chehov has given actors the blueprint for his own plays and leaves little room for improvisation,it has to be performed according to what the author wrote.There is more freedom with Ibsen,etc...Hope this helps..
