Analysis of the work of Chelkash by M. Gorky
The story "Chelkash" was written in 1894. This story M. Gorky heard in the city of Nikolaev, when he was in hospital, from a neighbor in the ward. His publication took place in 1895 in the June issue of the magazine "Russian Wealth". This article will analyze the work of Chelkash.
Introduction
In the port under the hot sun, the loaders spread out their simple and simple food. To them approached a well-broken life thief Grishka Tchelkache and learned that his friend and constant partner Mishka broke his leg. This somewhat puzzled Gregory, because at night there was a profitable business. He looked around and saw a rustic, sturdy fellow, broad-shouldered, with blue eyes. He looked innocent. Tchelkache quickly became acquainted with Gavrila and persuaded him to take part in the night adventure. Acquaintance with the story is required in order to understand the analysis of the work "Chelkash".
Night voyage
At night Gavrila, shaking with fear, sat on the oars, while Tchelkache ruled. Finally they swam to the wall. Grigory took the oars, passport and bag from the cowardly partner, and then disappeared. Tchelkache appeared suddenly, passed on to his partner something heavy, oars and his things. Now we must return to the harbor, not to fall under the lights of the patrol customs cruiser. Gavril almost fell unconscious with fear. Tchelkache properly kicked him, sat down on the oars, and Gavrilu put him behind the wheel. They got there without incident and quickly fell asleep. In the morning Grigory woke up first and left. When he returned, he woke Gavrila and gave him his share. Knowledge of the action taking place in the story will help to analyze the work of Chelkash.
Decoupling
When Chelkash counted the money, he was unpleasantly struck by a greedy shine in the eyes of the village boy. The peasant begs to give him everything. The hero with disgust for such greed threw money. Gavrilo began to collect them and tell them that he wanted to kill the accomplice because of them.
Heroes: Chelkash and Gavril
The spirit of romance and connection with nature permeates all the early works of M. Gorky. Tchelkache is free from the laws of society.
Gavrila is a strong country boy, he returns home. He did not earn money in the Kuban. It is configured sadly.
Gorky describes in detail the thoughts of each of them before they agree on robbery at night. Chelkash is a proud nature, recalls his former life, his wife, his parents. His thoughts jump to the downtrodden village guy, whom he can help. The protagonist immensely loves the sea. In his element, he feels free, and thoughts about the past there do not bother him. We consider the heroes of the story "Chelkash" (Gorky). The analysis of the work without their characters will not be complete.
Gavril
This is not Gavril. He is terribly afraid of the sea, the darkness, the possible capture. He is cowardly, greedy. These qualities pushed him to a direct crime, when in the morning he saw the first time in his life a lot of money. First, Gavril falls to his knees in front of Tchelkache, begging for money, because he is only a "sneaky slave."
Analysis of the work "Chelkash" (Maxim Gorky)
First comes a detailed description of the port and its life. Then there are heroes. Gorky emphasizes cold gray eyes and a nose, hunchbacked and predatory, and a proud free character. Gavrila is a good-natured guy who believes in God, as it turns out, is ready for anything for the sake of money. At first it seems that the villain Tchelkache makes us turn from the direct path to the thief's path of the simple-minded Gavril. The sea is an important and significant component of the story. It, like a litmus test, reveals the nature of the characters.
Chelkash loves his strength, power, boundlessness and freedom. Gavril is afraid of him, he prays and asks Grigory to let him go. Especially frightening is the peasant, when the floodlights illuminate the sea range. He takes the light of the ship for a symbol of retribution and gives himself the promise to order a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker. In the morning, drama is played out because of the greed that engulfed Gavril. It seemed to him that Tchelkache had given him little money. He is on the verge of murder, and no thoughts about God bother him. Wounded to them, Tchelkache gives away almost all the money that Gavrila hides quickly. All traces of blood are washed away by rain. Water can not wash away the dirt from the soul of the fearful God Gavrila. Gorky tells how a peasant loses his human image, how low the creature who considers himself to be a man falls when it comes to profit. The story is built on the principles of antithesis. This concludes the Chelkash. The analysis of the work was briefly carried out.
