Chatsky in grief from wit. The image of Chatsky in the comedy "Woe from Wit" by Griboyedov: the character and life of the hero (Alexander Andreevich Chatsky)

Alexander Andreevich Chatsky is a nobleman with about 400 serfs on his estate. He was orphaned early, so most of his upbringing took place in the house of his father's friend, Famusov. As soon as Alexander entered the period of growing up, he began to live independently. He wanted to get acquainted with the life of light, and he left his home for 3 years. In this article we will consider the image and characteristics of Chatsky in the comedy in verse "Woe from Wit" by A. S. Griboyedov.

Chatsky's education

Chatsky is a member of the English Club, which included rich and noble representatives of the nobility. He is smart, as evidenced by his ability to speak eloquently. From the words of the heroes of the comedy, it becomes known that the young man knows foreign languages, is trying to write himself:

"He writes and translates nicely."

Chatsky's speeches are so correctly composed that it seems that he does not speak, but writes. The young man's advanced views are not similar to the positions of representatives of the Famusov circle. It is knowledge and the desire for self-improvement that distinguish Alexander Andreevich from other heroes of the work. Famusov sees the reason for Alexander's behavior in education:

"Learning is a plague,

Learning is the reason ... "

The receding nobility is ready to close schools, lyceums and gymnasiums, only so that the Chatskys do not appear on their way.

Inconsistency of character

Griboyedov is trying to bring the situation in the landlord's house closer to reality. This explains the fact that all the heroes of the work have positive and negative traits, like ordinary people. Chatsky is no exception.

Intelligence and categoricalness. The hero's intellect does not prevent him from being tactless. He does not analyze his judgments, is not afraid to ridicule the defenseless. They cannot answer him in the same way, since they are limited in mental capabilities. Justifies the behavior of a young nobleman only statements against immorality. With categorical judgments, he tries to fight her. But, as an intelligent person, he could understand that he was talking in vain. His statements do not reach those to whom they are directed. At times it just shakes the air. One gets the impression that this is a conversation with oneself. It was this quality that A. Pushkin did not like. He thinks that throwing beads in front of the Repetilovs is not the business of smart people.

Love and passion. Another contradiction is the feelings of the hero. He is in love with a girl who chose another. Moreover, it is difficult even to compare them. Love made Chatsky blind. The passion and desire to know who he was preferred, equated him with the funny characters of the comedy ball. I would like the hero to leave the stage with his head proudly raised, and he just runs away from those who slandered about him and spread gossip.

The hero's love of freedom

Chatsky thinks freely and does not adhere to the rules imposed on him by the older generation. It is the speeches that scare Famusov. The old landowner includes him among the Jacobins and Carbonari. He does not understand Chatsky's ideas. Freedom of thought creates fear and apprehension. The love of freedom led the young man to a path incomprehensible to the elderly. Two career lines have been familiar for the century:

• military service;
• work as an official.

Chatsky did not become either one or the other. He did not accept the laws of the service, where it was necessary to obey the established rules. The service fettered a sensual person, interfered with his development. The role of an official did not fit Chatsky. Sitting behind a routine, papers did not give the opportunity to engage in creativity, searches. Alexander tries to find himself in scientific activity or in the niche of literary creativity:

"The mind stared into science ...".

"In my soul ... heat for the creative arts, high and beautiful."

He is not interested in either a position among officials, or a promotion in the ranks of military service and the ranks of civilians.

Love of truth is the main character trait. The hero gets to the truth everywhere, whatever it may be. It was freedom of thought, liberalism that allowed him to be led into the category of madmen.

Chatsky's weaknesses

Alexander Andreevich, subtly noticing the peculiarities of the character and behavior of people, easily teases and ridicules their vices and weaknesses. He does not try to offend or humiliate his interlocutors with words. Not everyone understands his barbs. He directs most of his judgments against stupid and intellectually limited people. He will laugh at him, make him look like a clown so that the person being ridiculed may not understand why they are making fun of him. Other weaknesses of the young landowner:

Sharpness of judgment. Angry - intonation changes:

"A formidable look, and a harsh tone."

Pride. Chatsky does not accept disrespect for himself:

"... you are all proud!"

Sincerity. Alexander does not want to be cunning, does not want to pretend. He cheats on himself only because of his love for Sophia:

"I'll pretend once in my life."

Sensitivity. The quality of the hero distinguishes him from all the guests in the Famusov house. He is the only one worried about the girl, does not believe in her changes, love for the insignificant Molchalin, without principles and moral foundations.

Chatsky's patriotism

Through the hero, Griboyedov conveyed his worldview. He cannot change the servility of the Russian people. He is surprised by his admiration for everything foreign. The author ridicules such aspirations of landowners: foreign teachers, clothes, dances, games and hobbies. He is sure that the Russian people should have their own teachers. The hero has a special relationship to language. He does not like the fact that a mixture of "French with Nizhny Novgorod" has been made from the Russian speech. He hears the beauty of Russian speech, its singularity and melodiousness. Therefore, there are a lot of folk words in speech: this morning, Pushcha, tea. He easily inserts proverbs and sayings into speech, respects literature. Chatsky quotes the classics, but shows that foreign words should be present in the speech of an educated person, but only where they have a place.

Alexander Andreevich Chatsky is the main male and the only positive character in the comedy Woe from Wit, Griboyedov. He became an orphan quite early, and was brought up in the house of a friend of his father - Famusov. The patron gave him an excellent education, but could not instill in Chatsky his worldview. Having matured, Chatsky began to live separately. Subsequently, he left military service, but did not serve as an official either.

Famusov has a beautiful and intelligent daughter Sophia, over time her friendship with Chatsky grew into love, he also sincerely admired her and wanted to marry her. But being an emotional, active and inquisitive person, he gets bored in Moscow, and he sets off to travel to see the world. He left for 3 years, without even warning Sophia about it and never writing to her. Upon his return, Chatsky realized that she no longer had love for him, besides, she had another lover - Molchalin. He greatly experiences disappointment in his beloved and her betrayal, in his opinion.

Chatsky is a proud, straightforward and noble person who always expresses his opinion. He lives for the future, has a negative attitude towards the cruelty of landowners and serfdom, he is a fighter for a just society and dreams of benefiting the people. Therefore, it is difficult for him to live in a Famusian, immoral society, and he understands that he has no place among people who live in lies and meanness. The society has remained the same as it was 3 years ago. That evening, he quarreled with everyone, and besides, Sophia, wanting to take revenge on him, spread the rumor that he was crazy. At the end of the comedy, he witnesses a scene where Sophia finds out that Molchalin does not love her, but just wants to stay in Famusov's house. Laughing, Chatsky demands a carriage and leaves.

Chatsky is a young free man; one might say a traveler, a seeker of the new. He is not rich, he does not have any rank, and he does not need him for anything: "I would be glad to serve, it is sickening to serve," he says to Famusov when he calls on Chatsky to serve if he wants to marry Sophia. Chatsky is smart, witty, says only what is in his heart - and this is his distinguishing feature. I dare even compare him with Khlestakov: "What's on the mind is on the tongue."

Chatsky is a man of modern times, advanced views, a man of a different kind:

"I scolded your century mercilessly!" -

He exposes the present age, the time in which he lives and, most importantly, is not afraid to do this. In this regard, the question arises: "Who else, if not him?" “One is not a warrior in the field,” says popular wisdom. But in this case, a warrior is a warrior, if he is Chatsky!

This is true; he is a doctor, a doctor of freedom. He is trying to make sure that he is understood - he does not accept the current system, as I said. But the fact is that no one understands him, and cannot understand, and they take him for a madman. Chatsky himself says to Famusov and Skalozub:

“The houses are new, but the prejudices are old;
Rejoice, do not exterminate
Neither their years, nor fashion, nor fires "-

Here it is, the problem! But does Chatsky himself understand that all his appeals, all exhortations, all his strength, all that caustic mind, which he put into his words, does he understand that all this is ... as if in vain? He knows that it is not in vain, for it will not be the present century, not these people, who will understand him, but others will certainly understand.

In the comedy, Chatsky is the most significant character in terms of his function, because without him nothing would have happened: the Famus society would have remained Famusian, or changed slightly due to new trends, as is usually the case.

Throughout the comedy, Chatsky has earned many characteristics about himself. Here is some of them.

I. Liza about Chatsky:

1) "Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp,
How Alexander Andreevich Chatsky! "

II. Sofya Pavlovna about Chatsky:

1) (D. I, Ya. 5)

"... He is glorious
He knows how to laugh everyone;
Chatting, joking, it's funny to me;
Laughter can share with everyone. "

2) (Also D., also me.)

“Oster, smart, eloquent.
I am especially happy in my friends. "

3) (Also D., I 6) Sophia, angry with Chatsky's words about Molchalin:

"Not a man, a snake!"

4) (D. II, Ya. 8)

“Murderous by their coldness!
I have no strength to look at you, to listen to you. "

5) (Also D., also I.)

“What do you want me for?
Yes, really, not your troubles - fun for you,
Dear father, kill it all the same. "

6) (Also D., Ya. 9)

“Ah, Alexander Andreevich, here,
Appear you are quite generous:
Unfortunately for your neighbor, you are so not indifferent. "

7) (Also D., Ya. 11)

“… I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the pretense.
Why did God bring Chatsky here! "

8) Chatsky receives a thorough description from Sophia in III D., 1 phenomenon:

"Your gaiety is not modest,
You immediately have the sharpness ready,
And you yourself ... "

“... a menacing look and a harsh tone,
And there are an abyss of these features in you,
And the thunderstorm above itself is far from useless "-

With this, Sophia reproaches Chatsky for being too frank. She, perhaps, believes that Chatsky himself does not see these "features of the abyss" - these, according to Sophia, the strongest shortcomings. She calls on Chatsky to fight them. But are these disadvantages? Only in the opinion of the Famus society, but not in the opinion of Chatsky.

“It is noticeable that you are ready to pour out bile on everyone;
And I, so as not to interfere, will evade from here. "

“Why be, I’ll tell you bluntly,
So incontinent on the tongue,
In contempt for people, so undisguised,
That there is no mercy for the most humble! .. What?
Happen to someone to call him:
A hail of barbs and jokes will burst out of yours.
Tell jokes! and a century to joke! how will you become! "

Hinting at Chatsky:

"Of course, this mind is not in him
What a genius for some, but for others a plague,
Which is quick, brilliant and will soon oppose,
Which light scolds on the spot,
So that the light at least says something about him,
But will such a mind make the family happy? "

9) (D. III, Ya. 14)

"Ah, this man always
Cause me a terrible frustration!
Glad to humiliate, to prick; envious, proud and angry! "

"He is not quite all there"

"Not that at all ..."

"A! Chatsky, you like to play around as jesters,
Is it good to try on yourself? "

III. Chatsky about himself:

1) (D. I, Ya. 7)

“Listen, are my words all the pegs?
And leaning towards someone else's harm?
But if so, the mind and heart are out of tune.
I'm in eccentrics to another miracle
Once I laugh, then I will forget ... "

2) (Also D., Ya. 9)

"Oh! no, I am a little spoiled by hopes "

"I am not a guesser of dreams"

"I believe my own eyes"

3) (D. II, Ya. 7)

"It is not my desire to prolong the debate ..."

4) (D. III, Ya. 1)

“I myself? isn't that ridiculous? "

“I’m weird, not weird who is?
The one who looks like all fools ... "

“But is there in him * (in Molchalin) * that passion,
That feeling, that ardor
So that apart from you he has a whole world
Seemed ashes and vanity?
So that every heart beat
Has love accelerated towards you?
So that thoughts are all and all his deeds
Soul - you, are you pleasing? .. "

"Oh! My God! Am I one of those
To whom is the purpose of all life - laughter?
I have fun when I meet funny ones
And more often I miss them. "

5) (D. IV, Ya. 10)

"Am I really crazy?"

6) (Also D., Ya. 14)

"Blind man! In whom I was looking for the reward of all labors! "

IV. Famusov about Chatsky

1) (D. I, Ya. 10)

“... this dandy buddy;
Notorious as a bastard, a tomboy;
What a commission, creator
To be a father to a grown daughter! "

2) (D. II, Ya. 2)

“That's it, you are all proud!
Would you ask how the fathers did?
They would study, looking at the elders ... "

"Oh! My God! he's carbonari! "

"Dangerous man!"

“What he says! and speaks as he writes! "

"He wants to preach liberty!"

"He doesn't recognize the authorities!"

“And I don’t want to know you, I don’t tolerate debauchery.”

“Here they are scouring the world, beating their thumbs,
Come back, expect order from them. "

3) (D. II, Ya. 3)

"They will already bury you
They will give you on trial how to drink ”.

4) (D. II, Ya. 4)

“... Andrei Ilyich's deceased son:
He does not serve, that is, he does not find any benefit in that,
It's a pity, it's a pity, he is small with a head,
And he writes and translates nicely. "

5) (D. III, Ya. 21)

“For a long time I have been wondering how no one will bind him!
Try about the authorities, and no news will tell you!
Bow down a little, bend over a ring,
At least in front of a monastic face,
So he will call him a scoundrel! .. "

“I went by my mother, by Anna Aleksevna:
The deceased went mad eight times. "

6) (D. IV, Ya. 15)

"Insane! what nonsense he was talking about!
Low admirer! father-in-law! and so menacing about Moscow! "

V. Other persons about Chatsky:

1) (D. III, Ya. 10), Khlestova:

“… What is he glad about? What's the laugh?
It's a sin to laugh at old age ... "
"I scolded him by the ears, just a little."

2) (D. III, Ya. 15 and 16), G. N. and G. D .:

"Crazy!"

3) (D. III, Ya. 16), Zagoretsky:

“... His uncle-rogue hid him in the mad ones ...
They grabbed me into a yellow house and put me on a chain.
So they let go of the chain, ”

"He's crazy"

Countess's granddaughter:

“Imagine, I noticed myself;
And even though you can bet, you are one word with me. "

(Ya. 19) Zagoretsky:

"In the mountains, wounded in the forehead, crazy from the wound."

(I. 20) Countess grandmother:

“Yes! .. he is in pusurmans!
Oh! accursed Voltairean! "

(Ya. 21) Khlestova:

"I drew champagne with glasses."

Famusov:

"Learning is the plague, learning is the reason ..."

4) (D. IV, Ya. 7), Princess:

“… It's dangerous to talk to them,
It's time to ban it a long time ago ...
…
I think he's just a Jacobin ... "

In the opinion of Famusov, and, I think, in the opinion of the entire Famus society, Chatsky is a perverted nature; and his perversion is expressed in that: in speech, in actions - in everything, and by that he is perverted because he sees all the injustice, unrighteousness, precisely the very perversion of Famusian society. What dares, moreover, express his opinion. "He's carbonari!" - exclaims Famusov. “He is a Jacobin,” says the princess. And as soon as Chatsky is not called, but everyone comes to the conclusion ... more precisely, Sophia came to the conclusion, and then in jest, in revenge, and the rest of society agreed with this conclusion - in general, Chatsky went crazy. But this is not so - and we know this very well. He was simply smarter than his time, he was ahead of him and fought against the old order, exposing them with sophistication and cunning ... He opposed himself to the whole society; he fought with him ... in the end, he comes to the conclusion that only time will change these people. Then he leaves to wander - again:

“Get out of Moscow! here I am no longer a rider.
I'm running, I won't look back, I'm going to look around the world,
Where for the offended there is a corner!
A carriage for me, a carriage! "

But what did Chatsky leave behind, what did he change? After all, the Famusian society remained Famusian! Or has he planted a seed, a seed of freedom that will soon bear fruit?
Chatsky, being a sensitive and, moreover, a witty person, uttered all sorts of "barbs", accused the Famus society for the fact that it could not understand it, that it did not want to change, and that it made fun of him. He tried on a special role - the role of a judge, an exposer of vices, of all this injustice, piling up and surrounding all this society. So has something changed? It is impossible to answer this question, just as it is impossible to answer the question: “Will this person be a talented poet? - but a man has not yet been born; has not yet grown - it is still in its infancy ...

About "Woe from Wit" we can safely say that the work of A.S. Griboyedov belongs to the list of the best creations of Russian dramatic literature.

Despite the isolation of the time period described in the work, this play does not lose its position at the present time, but is gaining more and more relevance in modern society. The work is filled with an abundance of problems, vivid and memorable characters, carries inexhaustible moral value.

Griboyedov's play is rich in content, while there are no empty conversations and meaningless phenomena that could be deprived of the reader's attention. The language of the Woe from Wit play has been finished and developed in such a way that in the end the work is a perfect idea. Griboyedov, with special skill, delivers a speech to his heroes that best suits their characters.

Characteristics of the hero

The main character of the play is Chatsky Alexander Andreevich. It is his image that symbolizes the only positive character in comedy.

The young man, who was left an orphan at an early age, received a court family education from Famus. Despite the fact that the patron gave Chatsky was able to give Chatsky a decent education, however, Famusov failed to instill in him his own worldview. Already an adult, educated person, Chatsky left the family house and began to live separately. As a result, he decided to quit military service, but did not prefer the bureaucratic service.

Sophia, the adorable adult daughter of Pavel Afanasyevich, was on friendly terms with Chatsky, but over time this friendship grew into completely different feelings - into love. Alexander Andreevich continued to sincerely admire Sophia, and soon wanted to play a wedding with her. However, as an emotional, active and inquisitive person, Chatsky feels the oppression of boredom in Moscow, so he decides to go on a trip to see the world. He leaves for three whole years, and Sophia not only does not warn about his departure, but throughout all this he does not write a single letter to her ahead. Returning, Chatsky realizes that Sophia's love for him, as it was, did not exist, and besides that, she already had a new lover - Molchalin. Alexander Andreevich is infinitely disappointed in his former lover and is struck to the depths of his soul by her betrayal.

Pride, nobility, readiness to express one's opinion and the ability to argue for it - these are the definitions that characterize Chatsky in detail as a person. He does not live in the past, but quite the opposite. A negative attitude towards landlord's cruelty and serfdom drives him with a desire to fight for justice in society, he strives to be useful to the people. Therefore, it is unbearable for Chatsky to be in a Famus society, deprived of morality. And he realizes that he cannot find a place for him among all those living in lies and hypocrisy.

The image of the hero in the work

The author of the play shows the irreconcilability of Chatsky's clash with Famusov's society. Chatsky, due to his high development, does not understand what morals, ideals, principles are pursued by representatives of Famus society. The hero does not bend his soul, but speaks directly about his views, for which he will be condemned.

Ultimately, Chatsky, who remained unacceptable and not understood in the circles of Famus society, rejected by the love of his whole life, actually escapes from Moscow, he leaves this place and, at first glance, there is an unambiguous impression that the ending is tragic for the main character. However, reflecting on this, the conclusion is ripening that Chatsky is defeated only by the number of opinions and unacceptable views, and not by their essence. From the side of society, he really suffered a defeat, but the fact that from the spiritual, moral side, Chatsky undoubtedly won a victory over Famusov and his entourage, remains undeniable.

The hero was able to bring a crazy commotion to this society. And to be able to prove individuality with dignity and protect your personality, which has formed an opinion and view on every manifestation of life, to present your disagreement with arguments, openly expressing your views on the existing life structure - this is a true victory of morality. And it is no coincidence that the hero is called crazy. Indeed, could at least someone be able to object in the Famus circle? Nobody, just a madman.

Indeed, it is not easy for Chatsky to realize that he was not understood, because Famusov's house is still dear and significant to him. He is forced to leave these places, since the adaptation is in no way inherent in Chatsky. He goes the other way - the road of honor. The hero will never be able to accept false feelings and emotions.

Alexander Chatsky is the first character in Russian literature who dared to openly conflict with high society. It is noteworthy that this is the only positive hero of the play "Woe from Wit". To create the image, the author borrowed the role of "evil clever man" from his literary idol.

History of creation

In addition, the author mercilessly got rid of the idea of ​​three unities, leaving only the unity of place and time, endowing creation with two plots: the line of love is adjacent to the conflict with society. Plus, an unprecedented thing happened - at the end of the work, moral values ​​do not triumph over vices.

Work on the play started when the writer lived in Tiflis - the year was 1820. Here the first two acts were born, based on the memories of Zhenya Grekhova, a childhood friend of Griboyedov. And as a model, the author took Moliere's comedy "The Misanthrope", in which the main character, like Chatsky, denounces the imperfections of society. Three years later, the writer plunged headlong into the secular life of Moscow in order to better know and feel from the inside the modern customs of the noble society.

The work was renamed three times. First, Alexander Sergeevich called it "Woe to the Wit", then "Woe from Wit", and just before the very end of the work the play acquired the title "Woe from Wit". In 1825, the comedy was ready, but the censorship did not spare it, tearing out some of the episodes. However, literary work did not reach the theater either.

The play by Griboyedov was sold in the form of copies among the reading public a year earlier, "without cuts" it was enthusiastically received in the circles of the Decembrists. It was officially published for the first time after the death of the writer, and was allowed to print “Woe from Wit” without censorship only in 1862.

Biography and plot

Early orphaned Alexander Chatsky was brought up in the family of Pavel Afanasyevich Famusov, a friend of his father. The guardian gave the boy an excellent education, but he never managed to instill his own views on life. The grown-up young man settled separately, continuing, however, to often visit the Famusovs - between Chatsky and Pavel Afanasyevich's daughter Sophia, passionate feelings flared up in childhood.

The main character dreamed of offering his beloved a hand and a heart, but one day he was suddenly bored with the life of the capital, and he went on a trip around the world. Moreover, he did not bother to notify his girlfriend of the plans, having disappeared for three years. Upon returning to his homeland, Chatsky was disappointed - Sophia had a new lover in the person of her father's secretary Molchalin. At first, the young man did not even know about it, but at the very first social meeting in the Famusovs' mansion he learned the truth and considered the act a betrayal.

The character delivers lengthy monologues in which he denounces the vices of Moscow society, touching almost all the characters in the play. The caustic criticism of the behavior of the owners of the house and guests from the lips of Chatsky irritates Sophia, and the girl spread a rumor that he was out of his mind. The whole action of the work takes one evening, during which Sophia also learns that Molchalin is simply using her attention in order to stay in the house and get a ticket to a rich life - there is no question of love.

Alexander bitterly laughed at his beloved, at his blindness, at those who are united with Famus's worldview. And, recognizing that in this society it is difficult not to lose his mind, he left the guardian's house.

Image

Noble, proud, true to his opinion and word - this is the characteristic of the protagonist of Griboyedov's play. Alexander Chatsky strikes with his straightforwardness, and at the same time conquers with a contemptuous attitude towards the cruelty of the nobles and serfdom. He is armed with intelligence and knowledge that allows him to see problems in governing the country, as well as in Russian culture, because the imposition of the values ​​of other states will lead to disaster. The young man selflessly fights against injustice and outdated orders that reign in society. The character is an extra person in the life of the high society, where lies and meanness flourish.

The author of the comedy "Woe from Wit" preserved the principles of classicism in it - he used the speaking surnames. The meaning of the name of the protagonist eloquently conveys his character and role in the play. Alexander means protector of people, and the young man became Chatsky from the word "fumes" - he scares those around him with incomprehensible looks, violates the usual way of life, and at the same time dwells in the daze of his own disappointments and emotions.

Pupils who study "Woe from Wit" in school literature lessons have to look for an answer to the topic: who is Chatsky - the winner or the loser? The question is not easy, because the hero refused to prove his case and left the front stage. Griboyedov made the character, of course, a winner, who managed to resist the temptation to become like greedy, arrogant, envious people. The hero remained himself.

She made her debut play "Woe from Wit" at the St. Petersburg Theater in early 1831. In the future, the work has gone through many performances both at home and abroad. In Russian cinema, Alexander Chatsky was played by such famous actors as,.

The archives of Moscow contain about 300 copies (copies) of the play by Alexander Griboyedov. And until now, researchers collect them in order to completely restore the picture of an imperishable work, because the copies were not the originals of the creation - the writer handed out the multiplied manuscripts as he worked on the work.

The first person to get acquainted with the play was. Griboyedov personally read the work to the fabulist, and at the end he said:

"No. The censors will not let this pass. They swagger over my fables. And this is much worse! In our time, the Empress would have sent this pies along the first route to Siberia. "

A young aspiring poet Sasha Vasev is hiding under the pseudonym Alexander Chatsky. Recently written poem "Lucky Hunt" walks the Internet and collects a bunch of positive reviews.

Quotes

"Woe from Wit" was included in the list of the most cited Russian works. after reading the play, he predicted:

As he looked into the water. For example, a quote from Chatsky:

However, the character of Griboyedov gave the country many more winged expressions.
