The main problem in "Fiddler on the Roof" revolves around the challenges faced by Tevye, a Jewish milkman, as he navigates the changing social landscape of early 20th-century Russia. As his daughters seek to marry for love rather than adhere to traditional arrangements, Tevye struggles to balance his cultural beliefs with the desires of his family. This conflict highlights themes of tradition versus change and the impact of external forces, such as anti-Semitism, on personal and communal identity. Ultimately, Tevye's journey reflects the tension between holding onto heritage and adapting to a new world.
