But Busygin is so masterfully plays this comedy that Nina is also gradually inclined on his side. All night of Sarafanov and his so unexpectedly appeared son spend in endless conversations. The man told him about his life. About how his spouse threw him, and about the musical career.

He gives a guy tobacquacke made from silver, which, according to him, in their family always moves to the eldest son. The young man was touched and decides to stay for another day.

Plot

The cold spring evening Busygin and Silva, who just became acquainted in the cafe, escort the girlfriends at home, counting on continued relations. However, the girl at home is given to them from the gate - and young people, realizing that they were late for the train, looking for the night, but "no one opens. Afraid". By chance, they see the coming out of the house of Sarafanov, hear his name and decide to take advantage of this: go to his apartment, introducing himself to familiar, and at least get to warm up. However, in a conversation with Vassenka, Son Sarafanova, Silva unexpectedly reports that Busygin is his brother and son Sarafanov. Returned Sarafanov takes this story for a clean coin: in the 45th he had a novel with a girl from Chernigov, and now he wants to believe that Volodya is really his son. In the morning, friends are trying to escape from the hospitable house, but Busygin feels like a deceiver: "I don't give God to deceive whoever believes to every word" - and when Sarafanov presents him a family relic - a silver tobacco, which has always been transmitted to the eldest son, he decides stay

So Bowigina appears "Father", "Brother" and "Sister", (Sarafanov brings them up one) and he has to connect to the decision family problems. Younger brother, 10-grader Vassenka, in love with a neighbor - 30-year-old Makarskaya, secretary in court, but she laughs at his feelings, and Vassenka wants to flee from home; Busygin managed to persuade him to stay. Silva, to whom Makarskaya liked, flirting with her, and wounded Vassenka sets on the house of the train.

In parallel and the second love story: Busygin falls in love with his newfound "sister", but she is going to marry a pilot cadet and leave him to Sakhalin. Nina and Busygin feel mutual sympathy, and both regret that they turned out to be "relatives." Without withstanding, Busygin exposes himself, admitting Sarafanov: "Frankly, I myself do not believe that I am not a Son." "Whatever it is, and I consider you my son," Sarafanov answers him, and Busygin remains in their home.

Criticism about the play

Mark Lipovetsky: Busygin's passing is literally becoming the hope and support of the collapsed house. For the idea of \u200b\u200bthe eldest son, as Solominkas, Sarafans and his children are enough ... And Busygin suddenly feels responsible, this is expressed in the fact that it is not only a long-time deception, but also becomes a member of intra-fear. Mask, role, obviously untruth, suddenly responds to the internal needs of Busgin to be someone needed, belonging to the house, to be loved, be a family member.

Vladimir Klimenko: Vampilov gradually and unobtrusively leads us to the idea that the relationship of people in spirit is more important than relatives, and the responsiveness of the heart is the main human dignity... The soul of Busina is transformed under the influence of a meeting with Sarafanov. Elderly musician, loser and "blissful", according to his wife who threw his wife, in fact, is a compatibility of the best feelings.

• - "Senior Son" - director Vitaly Melnikov, in the roles of Evgeny Leonov - Andrei Grigorievich Sarafanov, Natalia Egorova - Nina Sarafanova,

The writing

"The case, trifle, the coincidence is sometimes becoming the most dramatic moments in the life of a person," the thought of Vampilov developed in his plays. A. Vampilova deeply worried about moral problems. His works are written in life material. Awakening conscience, upbringing the feelings of justice, good and mercy - these are the main motives of his plays. Fabul Pieces "Senior Son" is easy. Two young men - a student of the Medinstitut Volodya Busgin and an Agent of Trade on Nick Silva (Sevastyanov Seeds) - made a case on dancing. After holding a home of two girls living in the outskirts of the city, they are late for the last train and they have to look for the night. Boys call in the apartment of Sarafanov. Faithful Silve comes to mind the thought to come up with a story that Busygin - the eldest son Andrei Grigorievich Sarafanova, that he was allegedly born with a woman with whom fate accidentally brought Sarafanov at the end of the war. To somehow pass the night, Busygin does not refute this fiction.

The life of Sarafanov did not work out: the wife was gone, at work it was not sidewrd - I had to leave the position of actor-musician and to work in the orchestra playing at the funeral. With children, too, not all well. Son Sarafanova - a tenth-grader Vassenka - in love with Natasha Makarskaya, who is ten years older than him and belongs to him as a child. Nina's daughter is going to marry a military pilot, who does not love, but considers a worthy pair, and wants to leave him to Sakhalin.

Andrei Grigorievich is alone, and therefore is tied to the "Senior Son." And he who grew up without his father, in an orphanage, also stretches to the kind, glorious, but unhappy Sarafanov, and he also liked Nina. The end of the play is prosperous. Volodya honestly admits that he is not the son of Sarafanov. Nina does not marry the unloved. Vassenka managed to persuade not run from home. "The Senior Son" becomes a frequent guest of this family.

The name of the play "Senior Son" is the most successful because of her the main character - Volodya Busygin - fully justified the assumed role. He helped Nina and Vassenka to understand how much means a father for them, raising both without a mother who threw the family. In all, the soft character of the head of the Sarafan family is manifested. He all takes close to the heart: it is as happy before the children of his position, hides that he left the theater, recognizes the "Senior Son", tries to calm the Vassenka, to understand Nina. It is impossible to call him a loser, since the sundresses have surrendered into the most peak of the soul crisis, while others have broken. Unlike a neighbor, who who had abandoned Besygin and Silve, would give the guys, even if they did not invenate this story with the "eldest son." But the most important thing - Sarafanov values \u200b\u200bwith their children and loves them. Children in relation to the father of the worm. Vassenka is so ugly in his first love that he does not notice anyone except Makarskaya. But his feeling is selfish, because it is not by chance, having filled Natasha to Silva, he suits the fire and not repent of the made. In the nature of this young man, there is little truly lyrical. Then - smart, beautiful girl And at the same time practical and distributed. These qualities are manifested, for example, in choosing the groom. However, these qualities were predominant in it until she fell in love. Love completely changes her life position. Busygin and Silva, having met by chance during the dances, behave trite, causing themselves for the first oncoming girls, and they look like each other. But, being in a non-standard situation, the characters show themselves in different ways. Volodya Busygin loves people, he is conscientious, responsive, sympathizing with someone else's misfortune, is obvious, therefore he comes decently. "The positivity" of aspirations makes it strong and noble.

Silva, like Volodya, in essence, too, the orphan: with living parents he was brought up in the boarding school. Apparently, the dislike of the father affected his character. Silva told Volodya about how his father "rushed" him: "On, he says, you have the last twenty rubles, go to the Kabak, drove, drive a row, but such a makeup so that I don't see you a year or two." Vampilov did not accidentally make the origins of the fate of heroes like. By this he wanted to emphasize how his own choice of man, independent of the circumstances, is important. Unlike the Syarota of Volodya, Sirota Silva - cheerful, resourceful, but cynical. Genuine his face opens when he "exposes" by Volodya, saying that he is not a son and not brother, but a recidivist. Nina's bridegroom - Mikhail Kudimov - impenetrable man. Such people are found in life, but they will not immediately understand. "Smiling. He further smiles a lot. Good-natured, "says Vampil about him. In fact, it is more expensive to him the whole word that he gave himself for all occasions. It is indifferent to people. This character takes a slight place in the play, however, it is a pronounced type of "right" people who create a suffocating atmosphere around themselves.

Natasha Makarskaya involved in family intrigue is shown by decent, but unfortunate and lonely person. Vampilov deeply reveals the theme of loneliness, which can bring a person to despair. In the image of Sarafanov's neighbor, the type of cautious man, the average man, which is only afraid ("looks at them with caution, suspected," "is removed silently and fearful") and nothing interferes. Problems I. main idea Pieces are declared in the title dramatic work. The author did not accidentally replace the title name "suburb" on the "Senior Son". The main thing is not what events occur, and the one who participates in them. Be able to think, understand each other, support in difficult Minutes, Show mercy is the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe play of Alexander Vampilov. Being relatives in spirit is more than birth. The author does not define the genre of the play. Along with comic in the play, a lot of dramatic moments, especially in the subtext, Sarafanov's statements, Silva, Makarskaya.

What does the author claim in man and what does it deny in it? "It seems main questionwhich constantly asks Vampilov: Will you stay, man, man? Whether you will be able to overcome all the false and unknown, which is prepared for you in many everyday trials, where it was difficult to become different and opposite love and treason, passion and indifference, sincerity and falsehood, benefit and enslavement ... "(V. Rasputin).
