Characteristics of the characters. "Non-Horror" - satirical comedy

Pushkin highly valued the work of Denis Ivanovich Fonvizin, who wrote under Catherine II. He saw in Gogol his successor. The main character of Fonvizin - the inexperienced Mitrofanushka - led Alexander Sergeevich to full delight.

Herzen and Belinsky spoke highly of the artistic and social style of this comedy. Gogol, however, immortalized the image of his teacher, Fonvizin (though without a name), in the story "The Night Before Christmas". Remember, when the smith Vakula turned to the Empress, she translated the conversation to a middle-aged man with a pale face and suggested that he display in his next work "this folk simplicity." The man had a poor caftan with pearly buttons. This looked like Fonvizin.

So, a comedy created according to the classical canons (Fonvizin, "Nedorosl"). Characteristics of the characters, however, turned out to be innovative for the XVIII century. The characters of the play are devoted to this article.

Negative images

Undoubtedly, the tradition of the Russian national comedy, represented by Denis Ivanovich Fonvizin, characterizes the heroes. "Nedorosl" boldly and openly beats the tyranny of landlord serf-owners. The most negative image of the comedy is Ms. Prostakova. She controls her serf firm hand, rather, even cruelly. Do not disdain corporal punishment. The heroine is ignorant and vindictive. And talking on high tones with servants for her - it's normal. Usually the landowner turns to his serf Trishka: "cattle", "thieves' hara", "dummy", "swindler". Nurse her son, Eremeevna, who does not like the soul in this mutter, "grateful" mother says "canal", "dog daughter", "beast". And this - to the most approximate, "yard" people! With the rest of her conversation - and the shorter. Prostakov threatened to "kill them to death." It is self-confident, because the laws are always on the side of the landlords.

True, this magician has an outlet in the shower: she loves her 16-year-old son. True, this feeling is blind, for which Mrs. Prostakova paid at the end of the comedy. Really original author's, "fonvizinskaya", characterization of the characters. "Nedorosl" is a comedy, where each hero uses his own unique vocabulary and definite vocabulary.

Mr. Prostakov - quiet, calm henpecked. In all things he is subject to his wife; Not having her own, follows her opinion. However, he is not cruel, loves his son. But in fact, nothing affects the house, including raising a child.

It is original and interesting, with observance of individual vocabulary, created by Fonvizin characterization of the characters. The nerdosel is not accidentally named Mitrofanushka. After all, it sounds like a "motherlike" in Greek. By the way, regarding the name of the comedy. In Russia, gentiles were called young noblemen who did not have a written certificate of education.

Mitrofanushka eschews studies, he is rude to people who kindly refer to him. Eremeevna says: "The old hrychivka." Teacher Tsifirkin - "garrison rat." The crown phrase of the young dunce - that he does not want to learn, but wants to marry - is undoubtedly the creative find of Fonvizin, she really became a winged one. An ungainful person is wise, rude and ignorant. His indolence is indulged all in the house.

Brother Prostakova, Mr. Skotinin, in the comedy is depicted cartoonically. He disdains the lower estate, but breeding pigs for him is a real passion and purpose of life. His whole horizons are limited by the problems of the pigsty. He does not tire of talking about these animals. On top of that, he wants to marry Sophia.

Positive comedy heroes

However, no less in the comedy of positive images. Pravdin, a government official sent to check the estate, is the embodiment of justice, law and reason. He is outraged when people who "have power" over serfs use her "evil and inhuman." He seeks to help "worthy people", to promote proper upbringing. As a result of his inspection, Prostakova's property is requisitioned by the state.

Positive and Starodum, has absorbed an honest attitude to the service since the time of Peter I. The service in the army, and then the bureaucracy not only brought him a fortune, but also formed him an honest, decent man. Equally, he considers unacceptable and pleasing the powers that be, and violation of the human rights of the dispossessed.

Honorable and educated is his niece Sophia. She has a shrewd mind, therefore she is going to build her life so that she deserves the trust of "worthy people". Honest, modest and open to the groom Sophia - a young officer, Milo. His courage he showed in the fighting. The young man has a truly knightly upbringing. The war did not turn him into a soldier. His love for Sophia, he considers the greatest wealth.

Among the secondary characters there are also positive - a decent and straight Tsyfirkin, a former sodat; And negative - cunning and greedy Kuteikin, a seminarian - a half-breed, Adam Adamovich Vralman - with a mean lackeyness, praising Mitrofan, in order to deserve mercy from Prostakova.

conclusions

Fonvizin, undoubtedly, was a wise and observant man. In the comedy they are given a destructive-accusatory characterization of the heroes. "Incomplete" makes you think about the need to stop the abuse of serfs. Therefore, the comedy of Fonvizin is not an abstract, not for the amusement of Catherine's nobles and favorites, but a sharp-pointed, socially-directed one. Labor over such works for the comedian himself was ungrateful, demanded nerves. Resigned Denis Ivanovich went because of a serious illness - paralysis. Even the Empress Catherine II, a progressive woman, did not like the caustic satire of Fonvizin, and did not always go to meet the petitions of the classic.
