Disadvantages that make fun of Gogol in the comedy of the auditor. What laughs and sad Gogol in the "Dead Souls" - an essay

The play "The Auditor" is written almost 180 years ago, but as you can easily be guessed in faces, in the actions and in the dialogues of its heroes the feature of our reality. Maybe therefore the names of the characters have long become nominable? N. V. Gogol made contemporaries and descendants to laugh at what they were accustomed and what they stop noticing. Human sin wanted to ridiculate Gogol in his work. That sin that turned into ordinary.

The famous researcher of Creativity N. V. Gogol Vladimir Alekseevich Voropayev wrote that the premiere of the comedy, held on April 19, 1836 on the stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater, according to the testimony of contemporaries, had a tremendous success. "The general attention of the audience, applause, sincere and unanimous laughter, challenge the author ... - recalled Prince P. A. Vyazemsky," there was no lack of anything. " Even the sovereign Nikolai Pavlovich slammed and laughed a lot, and leaving the lodges, said: "Well, the play! Everyone got everyone, and me - most! ". But the author himself perceived this idea as a failure. Why, with explicit success, Nikolai Vasilyevich wrote such lines: "" Auditor "has been played - and I have so vaguely, so strange ... my creation seemed to me disgusting, wildly and as if not mine"?

It is very difficult to immediately understand what I wanted to show the author in my work. With a more serious study, we can see that Gogol managed to embody in the images of heroes many vices and passions. Many researchers emphasize that the city, which is described in the play, does not have a prototype, and the author himself points to it in the "Remove of the" Auditor "": "Peel-ka intently in this city, which is bred in Piece: Everything is completely agreed, that there is no such city in all of Russia<…> Well, what if this is our soul city, and he sits away from us? "

The arbitrariness of the "local officials", the horror of the meeting with the "auditor" is also inherent in every person, it says Voropaev: "Meanwhile, the intention of Gogol was designed just for the opposite perception: to involve the viewer in the performance, let it feel that the city marked in comedies, There is no somewhere, but in one way or another anywhere in Russia, and passions and vices of officials are in the soul of each of us. Gogol appeals to all and everyone. This is concluded the huge public importance of the "auditor". This is the meaning of the famous replica of Governing: "What are you laughing? Laughing! " - addressed to the hall (it was to the hall, since no one laughs at this time). "

Gogol created a plot that allows you to learn or remind viewers of this play yourself. The whole play is filled with hints carrying the viewer in the modern author of reality. He said that he did not invent anything in his comedy.

"On the mirror of Necha's jam ..."

In the "Auditor", Gogol made contemporaries laugh at what they were accustomed to and that they stopped noticeing - on the carelessness in spiritual life. Remember how Gingerbread and Ammos Fedorovich reasoned about sin? Gingerbread emphasizes that a person without sins does not happen: so God himself is arranged, and no guilt in man is no one. When in city I am hinting at his own sins, he immediately recalls about faith, and about God, and even has time to notice and condemn that Ammos Fedorovich rarely happens in the church.

By the service of the city refers formally. She is for him - tool to humiliate subordinates, receive undeserved MZD. But people are given to the power of God not to do what they wanted. Danger! Only a danger makes GOOD to remember what he has already forgotten. The fact that he is actually only a subyardian official who should serve the people, and not for their whims. But does the gingerbread about repentance thinks, does it bring, let it even in the heart, sincerely regret the deed? Voropaev notes that Gogol wanted to show us a cityhold, who fell into a closed circle of his sinfulness: in his final reflections, the sprouts of new sins arise in his repentance (the merchants will pay for a candle, and not he).

Nikolai Vasilyevich described in great detail what is for people who loving power, respect, imaginary honor and fear of bosses. What measures are not going on the heroes of the play, in order to somehow correct their position in the eyes of an imaginary auditor. Gingerbread even decided to give for Horstakov, who knows only one day, his native daughter. And Hellekov, who finally assumed the role of the auditor, appoints the price of "debt", which "saves" urban officials from imaginary punishment.

Gogol depicted a hollekova with a fool, who first speaks, and then begins to think. Witty strange things happen to Khlestakov. When he begins to tell the truth, he does not believe him at all or at all try not to listen. But when he begins to lie in the face to everyone, it is very important to him. Voropaev compares the shut-off shuttle, a shallow plow. A small official of Hellekov, accidentally becoming a big boss and having received an undesuned honor, extolled over all and condemns everyone in a letter to his friend.

Gogol revealed such a number of poor human qualities in order to give his comedy a more fun species, and in order for people to see them in themselves. And not just to see, but think about your life, with your soul.

"Mirror the essence of the commandment"

Nikolai Vasilyevich loved his fatherland and tried to convey to his fellow citizens, to people who considered themselves Orthodox, the thought of repentance. Gogola very much wanted to see in his compatriots of good Christians, he himself repeatedly instructed his loved ones in the need to observe the commandments of God and try to live a spiritual life. But as we know, even the hottest fans of Gogol did not fully understand the meaning and value of the comedy; Most of the public perceived it as a farce. There were people who hated Gogol from the moment the auditor appears. They said that Gogol - "The enemy of Russia and it follows to the shackles to Siberia."

It should be noted that the epigraph that was written later, reveals us to represent the author's ideological idea of \u200b\u200bthe work. Gogol left such words in his records: "those who want to clean and remove their face, usually look in the mirror. Christian! Your mirror essence of the Lord of the commandment; If you put them before you, and you look at them intently, they will open you all the spots, all the blackness, all the disgrace of your soul. "

It is clear to the mood of Gogol's contemporaries who are accustomed to live sinful life and which suddenly indicated for long-forgotten defects. A person really hard to recognize his mistakes, and even harder to agree with the opinion of others that he is wrong. Gogol became a certain accuser of sins of his contemporaries, but the author wanted to imagine sin, but to get people repeating. But the "auditor" is relevant not only for the XIX century. Everything is described in the play, we can observe in our time. The sinfulness of people, indifference officials, the overall picture of the city allows us to spend some parallel.

Probably all readers thought about the final scene. What does she open up the viewer in reality? Why are the actors within one and a half minutes in complete stupor? In almost ten years, Gogol writes "the interchange of the" auditor ", which indicates the actual idea of \u200b\u200bthe entire play. In a silence, Gogol wanted to show the audience a picture of a terrible court. V. A. Voropaev draws attention to the words of the first comic actor: "What do not say, but the terrible auditor, who is waiting for us at the door of the coffin. This auditor is our wokeered conscience. Before this auditor, nothing will dock. "

Undoubtedly, Gogol wanted to wake up the feeling of fear in the lost Christians before God. I wanted to finish my scene to each of the spectators of the play, but not many were able to take the position of the author. Some actors even refused to play a play, learning about the true sense of the whole work. Everyone wanted to see in the play only caricatures on officials, on people, but not for the spiritual world of man, did not want to recognize their passions and vices in the "auditor". After all, it is passion and vice, the sin itself is ridiculed in the work, but not a person. It is sin that makes people change for the worse. And laughter is in the work not just an expression of the feeling of joy from the events taking place, but the author's instrument, with the help of which Gogol wanted to get to the petrified hearts of his contemporaries. Gogol as if reminded all the words of the Bible: or do not know that the unrighteous kingdoms of God do not inherit? Do not be deceive: no clodniki, nor Idolosmutyrs, nor adultery,<…> Neither thieves nor Lychihimens, nor drunkards nor the moonful nor predators - the kingdoms of God do not inherit (1 Cor. 6, 9-10). And each of us you need to remember these words more often.

I. A. Esaulov - Professor, Member of the International Society of F. M. Dostoevsky, Head of the Department of Theory and History of the Literature of the Russian Orthodox University, Director of the Center for Literary Research. In his writings, Ivan Andreevich is trying to comprehend Russian literature in the context of the Christian tradition and its transformation in the twentieth century, and also deals with the theoretical substantiation of this approach.

Writing text:

According to V. G. Belinsky, Gogol of the Life of the real, hope, honor and glory, one of the great leaders in Puja Consciousness, Development and Progress. By choosing a laughter with their weapons, he was a harsh impulse of parasia and moral grinding of the dominant classes.
Chernyshevsky wrote about Gogol: a long time ago there was no writer in the world, who would be so important for his people like Gogol for Russia.
Talano Gogol as satiric appeared in his early works. So, in Mirgorod, Gogol's ability to portray everyday vulgarity and spiritual poverty, which reflected in the auditor and merchant souls was bright.
In the Starlavetsky landowners and in a story about how Ivan Ivanovich was quarreled with Ivan Ni-Korthorovich Gogol drew the carin of the existence of a local nobility, all his ҭin and vulgarity. Gogol shown brightly, as the best human qualities of kindness, sincerely, good-natured acquires ugly blacks in conditions of serfdom. The story of two respectable Mirgorod Ivan Ivanovich and Ivan Nikiforovich, which reflected the moral ugliness and the inner emptiness of two old nobles, their worthlessness, ends with the words: boring in this world, gentlemen!
Gogol sent his feather and against officials and official arbitals; This was particularly clearly affected by his Petersburg standards and in the comedy of the auditor, the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating Pushkin to be created.
Gogol wrote: In the auditor, I decided to collect everything bad in Russia in one bunch, which I then knew ... And at one time laugh at everything.
The strength of this strike was huge; The rights were I. S. Turgenev, saying that the plays of such a strength of social chief ever had never appeared by Dotole in any scene of the world.
The play had a huge success, although not everything was correctly understood, many accepted her for a cheap farce, suitable only for Rake. The most lively questions of our time were raised in the comedy, a whole gallery was written truthfully and unusually relief identified characters: representatives of provincial officials, urban landowners, county barynis and ladies. From the reaction camps, Brani fell and reproaches that Gogol, without understanding Russian life, presented it in false light. Advanced crimes and Pushkin comedy was adopted enthusiasm.
In the comedy talking about the abuse of the official position of the phenomenon, and for Russia for Russia, about bribery, arbitrariness and adoption of the city authorities. It went here everything, and most of all I, persistently noticed Nicholas I, realizing that this city is an inseparable particle of one bureaucratic whole.
In the comedy there is a Gallery of bright images of officials, or rather caricatures on them, which was then reflected in the merry souls, only with aggravated negative features of the heroes. The phenomena described in the auditor are ҭipic for those years: the merchant construction of the bridge and makes it on this, but helps him granted; The judge is fifteen years old at a judicial chair and is not able to understand a memorandum; Gingerbread cores his name day twice a year and expects gifts from merchants; The county leakage does not know a word in Russian; E-mailman is interested in the content of other people's letters; The trustee of godly shopping institutions is engaged in KLA-Uzami on his fellow officials.
There is no positive hero in the comedy, all the characters of the comedy moral freaks that gathered the most negative human qualities in themselves.
University of the sound of the play is innovative. Love intrigue, traditional for comedy of that time, gave way to a social conflict opened with an unprecedented sharpness. Successful lattice The arrival of the auditor reveals immediately unsightly carnown of universal bribery, fraud and sell. All of them are generated by the bureaucratic system, none of them have a sense of civil debt, all are busy only with their small ones.
Khlestakov Empty mortar of his father-landowner, a worthless, mediocre and stupid man, the embodiment of hasty and self-love. Gogol wrote that he was simply stupid, and the liar, and the slush, and the panty. It acts from the empty ҭ inland, because it is deprived of the elementary ideas about good and evil. He carries everything in himself in humans of serfdom in any environment.
In the poem, the souls of Gogol with great strength reflected the parasia lifestyle of several dozen destroyers.
Consistently drawing a gallery of landowners, Gogol shows how the soul dies in them, like low instincts we defeat human qualities. The owners of baptized property trading on their peasants, as an ordinary product, without thinking over their fate, removing personal benefits at the same time.
Gogol draws measurement souls. This is the idle dreamer of Manilan, who has a reality is replaced by empty, sweet, thoughtless fantasy, and a box belonging to the fastener is equally economical as to turhes, chirs, hemp, shaft; and the historic man nostd-roar, without which no scandalous story in the province is not bypassed; Sobesevich, in whom Gogol exposes a fist landlord, a greedy miscarriage, which Iedled the system of serfdom and thirst for profit and storage.
Especially highlighted the image of Plushkin cutters in humanity. In the form of Plushkina, it is finally discovered what was planned at Manilov, Nozdrev, Sobesevich. The complete mental emptiness of Manilov was covered by the mask of courtesy and sugary senuality. Plushkin does not have anything covered by his terrible larva of a person, from the soul of which everything waders except me. Passion for the compatibility, accumulation of the box in Plushkin go to the scarceration, in picking up pieces of pieces and feathers, old soles, iron nails and any other rubbish, while it was out of sight, more and more, the main objects of the economy.
The main hero of Pavel Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov, a thoughtless chaser, who acted on the Council of his father: Everyone will do everything and everyone will knock on a penny. The faithful follower of this theory, chischikov turned into a fraudster and the machinator, his life is * the chain of crimes, the purpose of which is alone. It manifests inexhaustible ingenuity, makes huge efforts, starts at any scams if they promise success and cash, promising the desired, believed, cherished penny.
All that does not meet the personal mercenary interests of Chichikov, does not play any role for him. Undoubtedly, he is falling and cunning the rest, he conducts the city authorities, and landowners. Its in general, a pathetic well-being is based on the suits, on human misfortunes and troubles. And the nobility society takes him for an outstanding person.
In his poem, Gogol drew a dark car in the dying class of the nobles, their uselessness, spiritual poverty and the emptiness of people deprived of elementary ideas about honesty and public debt. Gogol wrote that my thoughts, my name, my works will be owned by Russia.
Being in the center of the event, carry the light into darkness, do not inquire, do not cover the evil and incorrect of existing social relations, and show them in all their vigility and disgrace, to say the Hogol of the Writer's duty in this.

Over what Gogol laughed.

On the spiritual sense of the comedy "Auditor"

Be performers of the word, and not the hears only, deceiving themselves. For who listens to the word and does not fulfill, he is like a person who considers the natural features of his face in the mirror: he looked at himself, he moved away and immediately forgot what he was.

Jac. 1.22-24

My heart hurts when I see how people are mistaken. They pushed about virtue, about God, and meanwhile nothing.

From the letter N. V. Gogol to the mother. 1833.

"Auditor" is the best Russian comedy. And in reading, and in the stage on the stage, it is always interesting. Therefore, it is generally difficult to talk about whatever the failure of the "auditor". But, on the other hand, it is difficult and creating a real Gogol performance, to force the bitter Gogol laugh sitting in the hall. As a rule, something fundamental, deep, on what the whole sense of the play will slip away from the actor or the viewer.

The premiere of the comedy, held on April 19, 1836 on the stage of the Alexandria theater in St. Petersburg, according to the testimony of contemporaries, had colossal success. Gullary played Ivan Sosnitsky, Klezlekova - Nikolai Dur, the best actors of the time. "... the general attention of the audience, applause, sincere and unanimous laughter, challenge the author ... - Prince Peter Andreyevich Vyazemsky, - There was no lack of anything."

At the same time, even the hottest fans of Gogol did not fully understand the meaning and value of the comedy; Most of the audience perceived it as a farce. Many saw in the play caricature on Russian officials, and in her authors - a rowersman. According to Sergey Timofeevich Aksakov, there were people who hated Gogol from the very appearance of the "auditor". So, Count Fyodor Ivanovich Tolstoy (on the Nick American) spoke with a crowded meeting that Gogol is "the enemy of Russia and that it should be sent to Siberia in the shackles." Censor Alexander Vasilyevich Nikitenko recorded in his diary on April 28, 1836: "The comedy of Gogol" Auditor "made a lot of noise.<...> Many believe that the government vainly approves this play in which it is so crueling. "

Meanwhile, it is relifically known that the comedy was allowed to perform on stage (and, consequently, to the press) due to the highest permission. Emperor Nikolai Pavlovich read a comedy in the manuscript and approved; According to another version, the "auditor" was read the king in the palace. On April 29, 1836, Gogol wrote to the famous actor Mikhail Semenovich Schepkin: "If it were not for the high intercession of the sovereign, my play would not have been on the stage, and there were already people who had trouble banning her." The sovereign of the emperor not only himself was at the premiere, but told the ministers to watch the "auditor". During the presentation, he slammed and laughed a lot, and leaving the lodges, said: "Well, the play! Everyone got everyone, and me - more than everyone!"

Gogol hoped to meet the support of the king and was not mistaken. Soon after the setting of the comedy, he answered in the "theatrical drive" to his ill-wishers: "The generosity government is deeper than you, the high intelligence of the goal wrote."

The striking contrast seemingly the undoubted success of the play sounds bitter recognition of Gogol: "... The auditor" TRANSFER - and I have so vaguely, so strange ... I expected, I knew in advance how it would go, and at all that The feeling is sad and annoyingly chosen me. My creation seemed to me disgusting, wildly and as if not mine "(" the passage from the letter written by the author shortly after the first idea of \u200b\u200bthe "auditor" to one trial ").

Gogol was, it seems, the only one who perceived the first formulation of the "auditor" as a failure. What is the case, what did not satisfy him? Partly the inconsistency of old water techniques in the design of the play with a completely new spirit of the play, not stacked in the framework of the usual comedy. Gogol persistently warns: "It is most thoughtful to fear, so as not to fall into the caricature. Nothing should be exaggerated or trivial even in recent roles" ("Previation for those who wish to play as a" auditor ").

Why, ask again, Gogol remained dissatisfied with the premiere? The main reason was not even in the farce character of the performance - the desire to laugh in the public, and in the fact that with the caricature manner of the game sitting in the hall perceived what was happening on the stage without applying to themselves, since the characters were exaggerated. Meanwhile, Gogol's idea was designed just for the opposite perception: involve the viewer in the performance, let it feel that the city marked in the comedy exists not somewhere, but in one way or another anywhere in Russia, and there are passions and defects of officials In the soul of each of us. Gogol appeals to all and everyone. This is concluded the huge public importance of the "auditor". In this and the meaning of the famous replica of Governing: "What are you laughing at yourself!" - facing the hall (just to the hall, since no one laughs at this time). The epigraph is also indicated by the epigraph: "Necha's mirror is punished, if Ryg is a curve." In peculiar theatrical comments to the play - "Theatrical Drops" and "Auditor", "where the audience and actors discuss the comedy, Gogol seeks to destroy the wall, separating the scene and the auditorium.

Regarding the epigraph, which appeared later, in the publication of 1842, let's say that this folk proverb will mean under the mirror of the Gospel, about which the contemporaries of Gogol, spiritually belonged to the Orthodox Church, knew perfectly and could even refresh the understanding of this proverb, for example, the famous Krylov Basney " Mirror and monkey. "

Bishop Varnava (Belyaev) In his capital labor, the "Basics of Holy Art's Fundamentals" (1920s) connects the meaning of this fable with attacks on the Gospel, and it is precisely such a sense (besides others). The spiritual view of the Gospel as a mirror has long been and firmly exists in Orthodox consciousness. So, for example, St. Tikhon Zadonsky is one of the favorite writers of Gogol, the writings of which he reread repeatedly, "says:" Christian! That the sons of the century of this mirror, this will be the Gospel and Immaculate Life of Christ. They look in the mirrors, and correct the body Cleans its own and vices on the face.<...> We will offer a tax and we have before our hearts of our eyes a clean sir of a mirror and look at us: Does our lives of the life of Christ say? "

Holy Righteous John Kronstadt in the diaries issued under the name "My Life in Christ", notes the "unreadable gospel": "Are you chisty, holy lee and perfect, not reading the Gospel, and you don't need to look at this grazing? Or are you very ugly mentally and afraid of your disgrace? .. "

"Dead Souls" is the greatest Gogol creation, which still have many mysteries. This poem was thinking by the author in three volumes, but the reader can only see the first, since the third volume, because of the illness, was not written, although there were ideas. The second volume of the original writer wrote, but before his own death in the state of agony, he accidentally or deliberately burned a manuscript. Several chapters of this Gogol volume are still preserved to this day.

The Gogol work has a genre of the poem, under which the lyric-epic text has always been understood, which is written in the form of a poem, but with the romantic direction. The poem written by Nikolai Gogol retreat from these principles, so some writers found the use of the genre of the poem as the author's mockery, others decided that the original writer used the reception of a hidden irony.

Nikolai Gogol gave such a genre to his new product not for the sake of irony, but in order to give him a deep meaning. It is clear that Gogol Creation embodies Irony and a peculiar artistic sermon.

Nicholas Gogol has the main reception of the image of landowners and provincial officials is satire. In Gogol's images, landowners show the developing process of degradation of this class, which implants all their defects and disadvantages. The irony helped to say the author about what was under the literary prohibition, and allowed to bypass all censorship obstacles. The writer's laughter seems good and good, but after all, there is no mercy from him. Each phrase in the poem has a hidden subtext.

Irony is present in the Gogol text everywhere: in the author's speech, in the speech of heroes. Irony - the main sign of Gogol poetics. It helps the story to reproduce the real picture of reality. After analyzing the first volume of the "dead souls", you can mark the whole gallery of Russian landowners whose detailed characteristic gives the author. The main characters that are described by the author are so detailed that it seems, the reader is personally familiar with each of them, just five.

Gogolian five chalk characters are described by the author so that they seem different, but if you think more deeply in their portraits, we can see that each of them has those features that are characteristic of all landowners in Russia.

The reader starts familiarizing with Gogol landlords from Manilov and ends with a description of a flavoring image of Plushin. This description has its own logic, since the author smoothly translates the reader from one landowner to another to gradually show the terrible picture of a serfdom, which hesitates and decomposition. Nikolay Gogol leads from Manilov, which according to the author's description appears in front of the reader the dreamer, the life of which goes without a trace, smoothly moving to Nastasya box. The author himself calls her "Dubinnogolova".

This landowner is continuing the gallery, which appears in the copyright card Shuler, in hand and motto. The next landowner is a companion who is trying to use everything in his good, he is economic and calculating. The result of this moral decomposition of society is Plushkin, which in Gogol Description looks like "riding in humanity". The story about the landowners in such a copyright sequence enhances the satir, which is designed to expose the vices of the landlord world.

But the landowner gallery does not end, as the author also describes the city officials who visited. They have no development, their inner world is at rest. The main defects of the official world - meanness, sinovation, bribery, ignorance and arbitrariness of the authorities.

Next to Gogol Satira, which denounces Russian life by landfill, the author introduces the element of the glorification of Russian land. Lyrical retreats show the author's sadness that some segment path passed. Here there is a topic of regret and hope for the future. Therefore, these lyrical deviations occupy a special and important place in Gogol. Nikolai Gogol reflects about a lot: about the high appointment of a person, about the fate of the people and the Motherland. But these reflections are opposed to the paintings of Russian life who oppress the person. They are gloomy and dark.

The image of Russia is a high lyrical movement that the author has a variety of feelings: sadness, love and admiration. Gogol shows that Russia is not only landlords and officials, but also the Russian people with his open soul, which he showed in an unusual image of the top of horses, which quickly and without stopping rushing forward. This triple contains the main power of the native land.

The world-famous comedy of Gogol "Auditor" was written "with filing" A.S. Pushkin. It is believed that it was he who told the Great Gogol of Hogol, the substantiature of the register of the "auditor".
It must be said that the comedy was not immediately accepted - and in the literary circles of the time, and at the royal court. So, the emperor saw in the "University", the criticizing state structure of Russia in the auditor. And only after personal requests and clarification of V. Zhukovsky play, allowed to perform in the theater.
What was the "unreliability" of the "auditor"? Gogol portrayed the county city typical for Russia, its orders and laws that were installed there officials. These "sores people" were designed to equip the city, improve life, facilitate the existence of its citizens. However, in fact, we see that officials seek to alleviate and improve life only by themselves, completely forgetting about their official and human "responsibilities."
At the head of the county city there is his "Father" - Gingerbile Anton Antonovich Snovenik-Dmukhanovsky. He considers himself entitled to do whatever - take bribes, steal the stateless money, repair the unfair massacre over the townspeople. As a result, the city turns out to be dirty and beggar, there is a dedication and impact, no wonder the city is afraid that denunciations will suffer from the arrival of the auditor: "Oh, the evil people! And so, fraudsters, I think there are a request from under the floors and prepare. " Even the money sent to the building of the Church, the officials managed to grow in their pockets: "Yes, if you ask, why the church is not built in a burning institution, for which the amount was all a year ago, then not forget to say that it began to build, but burned. I represented about this and report. "
The author notes that the Gingerbread "is very unloussed in his own way." He began to make a career from the lowest, achieved his position on his own. In this regard, we understand that Anton Antonovich - "Child" of the corruption system, which has developed and deeply rooted in Russia.
Believing your boss and other officials of the county city - Judge Lyapkin-Tipkin, the guardian of the godly establishments of the strawberry, the caretaker of the school of flakes, Espemester Shpekin. All of them are not averse to launching a hand in the treasury, "rejuvenate" with a bribe from the merchant, steal what is intended for their wards and so on. In general, the "auditor" makes up a picture of Russian officials, "generally" evading the true ministry of the king and the Fatherland, which must be the duty and the matter of honor of the nobleman.
But "social vices" in the heroes of the "auditor" - only part of their human appearance. All characters are endowed with individual disadvantages that become a form of manifestation of their universal defects. It can be said that the meaning of the characters depicted by Gogol is significantly larger than their public situation: heroes represent not only county officials or the Russian bureaucracy, but also a "man in general", with ease of forgetting about his duties in front of people and God.
So, in Gluorin we see the powerful hypocrite, firmly knowing what is his benefit. Lapkin-Tipkin is a philosopher-struck, loving to demonstrate his scholarship, but only his lazy, a sloppy mind. Strawberry is a "headset" and a lets that covers their "sins" of other people's "sins." The postmaster, "treating" officials with the letter of Klezlekov, is a lover to pry "into the keyhole".
Thus, a portrait of Russian officials appears in the comedy of Gogol "Auditor". We see that these people designed to be supporting for their fatherland, in fact, are its destroyers, shredders. They bake only about their own good, forgetting about all moral and moral laws.
Gogol shows that officials - victims of the terrible social system, which has developed in Russia. Not noticing himself, they lose not only their professional qualifications, but also human appearance - and turn into monsters, slaves of the corruption system.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, in our time, this comedy Gogol is also extremely relevant. By and large, nothing has changed in our country - bureaucracy, officials have the same person - the same defects and disadvantages - that and two hundred years ago. That is why, probably, the "auditor" is so popular in Russia and still does not come off from theatrical scenes.
