The composition of the work "The Minor" Fonvizin. Images of heroes

The famous comedy of D. I. Fonvizin "Nedorosl" was written at the time of the literary fashion for classicism. An interesting feature of this work was, so to speak, "talking" surnames. The protagonist, for example, is called Mitrofan - "like a mother."

The work on the work "The Minor" can begin with the fact that the very name of the comedy already contains the issue of false and true education. It's not for nothing that the old word "inexpensive" in Russian translates as "half-educated".

The composition of the work "The Minor" Fonvizin

And in fact, Mitrofan in his sixteen years did not know how to do anything good and useful, although his mother, Prostakova, constantly hired him different teachers, but not because she wanted to make her son literate, but because so ordered to do Tsar Peter I. She said to her Mirofanushka, they say, you at least for the mind study, so that the ears of the king realized how you are trying.

But there are also positive heroes in this comedy, such as Pravdin and Starodum, who said that having a soul and a heart, you become a man. They openly expressed that they despise the unjust, cowardly and dishonest people. Starodum thought that the child does not necessarily leave a large inheritance and money, most importantly - to cultivate in him human dignity and instill morality.

The composition of the work "The Minor" should address the issue of the formation of the character of the child in the family. And now you can imagine in what environment Mitrofanushka grew up - greedy, cruel, rude and ignorant.

Parents have always been and remain the main example for children to follow. Ms. Prostakova, in front of her son, could be rude, rude and humiliate those around and serfs. Of course, she loved her son like a mother, but she was very pampered and spoiled.

Grief-tutors

The influence of the mother, the constant gratification and serf serfs running after him made a lazy ignoramus and a half-breed from the guy. Teachers Mitrofan - Kuteikin and Tsifirkin, also were the same half-educated. But Prostakova herself preferred Vralman, the former German coachman, who had never strained her little son, or even let him off at all. Mitrofan, every time, without having had time to start a new business, quickly threw it and adopted another. And then he even said: "I do not want to study, I want to get married."

The result is obvious

In the end, Mitrofan, because of his heartlessness and indifference, brings his own mother to a half-unconscious state. Starodum very accurately at that time will notice: "Here is an evil worthy fruit." It is clear that such education will necessarily lead to irreparable results. So Mitrofanushka became a model of ignorance, rudeness and stupidity.

The composition of the work "The Minor" can be continued by the fact that this play sank a very serious topic of the era of enlightenment - upbringing. In any case, at first it was the way Fonvizin intended to write it. But then she acquired the colors of social and political comedy, where the issue of upbringing was very closely associated with the sore problems of Russia in the 17th century. These are the themes of serfdom and discontent with the autocratic regime of Catherine II.

Images: "The Minor" Fonvizin and her main characters

The love affair with Sophia is also subordinated to the socio-political conflict, but the main problem here is the struggle of the enlightened noblemen (Pravdin and Starodum) with the feudal landowners (Prostakov and Skotinin), hungry for wealth and lacking the notion of honor and dignity.

In these main images, the author's whole irony over the state system and the life of the people of that time is presented.

If we talk about the image of the mistress of the house - Prostakova, then she is illiterate, because in her family it was considered a crime to study, and then, she was a "furious fury" who constantly scolded and fought, on which her house held. In the image of Skotinin, those negative features of the person are shown, in which "every fault is to blame." He - a cruel serf, whose pigs live better than people.

The image of the Old Believer bears family morality and is an honest man who has not exchanged his conscience for money. The composition of the work "The Minor" can be ended by the fact that it was this moral hero who became the "brain" of the play. His monologues receive a special expression of modern ideas of enlightenment, which the author himself professed.
