cordial. Tevye (Tobas), el lechero, intenta mantener su vida tradicional, y la de sus hijas,
en un momento en que los tiempos estn cambiando.
Tevye tiene cinco hijas, y la mayor preocupacin que tienen tanto l como su mujer, Golde,
es casarlas a todas con un hombre acaudalado, o bien, que tenga una buena herencia
para as terminar con su linea de pobreza. Las tres mayores, Tzeitel, Hodel y Chava son
las que ms cerca tienen el matrimonio.
Tevye conoce un da a Perchick, un estudiante de Kiev, al que la gente de la aldea
considera un radical. Tevye le invita a su casa a cenar, para el Shabbat, y despus de la
cena le ofrece trabajar como tutor para sus hijas ms pequeas a cambio de manutencin.
Durante el tiempo de su estancia en la casa de Tevye, Perchick se enamora de Hodel, e
incluso ve cmo ella sigue ciegamente el modelo de vida familiar judo que tanto le molesta
a l e intenta cambiarlo.
Tzeitel que es la hija mayor se casa con Motel que es un sastre, amigo de su infancia, que
aunque es un poco cobarde es un "buen tipo" honrado pero pobre, as que Tevye decide
celebrar la boda de su hija con el sastre. Chava que es la hija que sigue en el orden de

casamiento conoce a Fyedka, quien resulta ser un amante de la literatura que se enamora
