chekhov's gun

"One must not put a loaded gun on the stage if no one is thinking of firing it." - Anton Chekhov
 
"If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there." - Anton Chekhov
