Chatsky - the image of the “new man” in the comedy “Woe from Wit”

The comedy by A. S. Griboyedov “Woe from Wit” played an outstanding role in the socio-political and moral education of several generations of Russian people. She armed them to fight violence and tyranny, meanness and ignorance in the name of freedom and reason, in the name of the triumph of advanced ideas and true culture. We, like our fathers and grandfathers, admire the artistic perfection of “Woe from Wit,” the brilliance of the language, the amazingly vivid depiction of life and customs, and the realistic accuracy of Griboyedov’s images.

In the image of Chatsky, Griboedov, for the first time in Russian literature, showed a “new man”, inspired by sublime ideas, rebelling against a reactionary society in defense of freedom, humanity, intelligence and culture, cultivating a new morality, developing a new view of the world and human relations.

Alexander Andreevich Chatsky is a young man, a nobleman. Chatsky's parents died early, and he was brought up in the house of Famusov, a friend of his late father. Chatsky is not only smart, but also a developed person, with feeling, or as the maid Lisa recommends him:

Yes, sir, so to speak, he is talkative, but not very cunning; But be a military man, be a civilian, Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp, Like Alexander Andreich Chatsky!

In "Woe from Wit" all Famusov's guests slavishly copy the customs, habits and outfits of French milliners and rootless visiting crooks who made a living on Russian bread. They all speak “a mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod” and are dumb with delight at the sight of any visiting “Frenchman from Bordeaux.” Through the lips of Chatsky, Griboedov with the greatest passion exposed this unworthy servility to others and contempt for one’s own:

May the unclean Lord destroy this spirit of Empty, slavish, blind imitation;

So that he would plant a spark in someone with a soul,

Who could by word and example

Hold us like a strong rein,

From the pitiful nausea on the stranger's side.

The nobles of Famusov’s circle value rank and wealth in people, and Chatsky is sincere, witty, he laughs at Famusov, sharply jokes about the Moscow nobles, their lives and pastimes:

Aren't these rich in robbery? They found protection from court in friends, in kinship, building magnificent chambers, where they spill out in feasts and extravagance. And who in Moscow hasn’t had their mouths clamped at lunches, dinners and dances?

Famusov tries to teach Chatsky: “Don’t mismanage your property, brother. And most importantly, go and serve.” Chatsky despises people who are ready

Patrons yawn at the ceiling, show up to be silent, shuffle around, have lunch, place a chair, raise a scarf.

He believes that it is necessary to serve “the cause, not individuals.” Chatsky defends the right of a person to freely choose his own activities: travel, live in the countryside, “focus his mind” on science or devote himself to “creative, high and beautiful arts,” therefore Famusov declares Chatsky a dangerous person who does not recognize the authorities.

Chatsky's personal drama is his unrequited love for Sophia. Sophia, for all her good spiritual inclinations, still entirely belongs to Famus’s world. She cannot fall in love with Chatsky, who opposes this world with all his mind and soul. He loves seriously, seeing Sophia as his future wife. Meanwhile, Chatsky had to drink the bitter cup to the bottom, not finding “living sympathy” in anyone, and left, taking with him only “a million torments.”

Ah, tell love the end, Who goes far away for three years!

A. A. Chatsky is seriously preparing for social activities. “He writes and translates beautifully,” Famusov says about him and goes on and on about his high intelligence. He traveled, studied, read, apparently got to work, had relations with ministers and went his separate ways. It’s not hard to guess why: “I would be glad to serve, but being served is sickening.”

One of the main distinguishing properties of Chatsky is the fullness of feelings. It manifested itself both in the way he loves and in the way he is angry and hates. In everything he shows true passion, he is always warm-hearted. He is ardent, sharp, smart, eloquent, full of life, impatient. He is the embodiment of good youth, honesty, gullibility, and youthful boundless faith in himself and his capabilities. These qualities make him open to mistakes and vulnerable.

Chatsky is the only visibly active positive hero in Griboyedov's comedy. But he cannot be called exceptional and lonely. A thinker, a Decembrist fighter and a romantic are united in him, as they were often united in that era in real people and real life. He has like-minded people: we learn about them thanks to off-stage characters (those who are talked about in the play, but who are not directly involved in the action). These are, for example, professors of the Pedagogical Institute, who, in the words of Princess Tu-goukhovskaya, “practice in schisms and unbelief,” this is “insane.”

“Long people” who are inclined to study, this is the princess’s nephew, Prince Fyodor, “a chemist and a botanist.”

Chatsky in the comedy represents the young thinking generation of Russian society, its best part. A. I. Herzen wrote about Chatsky: “The image of Chatsky, sad, restless in his irony, trembling with indignation, devoted to a dreamy ideal, appears at the last moment of the reign of Alexander I, on the eve of the uprising on St. Isaac's Square. This is a Decembrist, this is a man who ends the era of Peter the Great and is trying to discern, at least on the horizon, the promised land...”

Griboedov's comedy is still filled with the breath of life, calling people forward, into the present and future, and sweeping away everything old and outdated from its path.

Chatsky begins a new century - and this is his whole meaning and his whole mind.

We, like our fathers and grandfathers, admire the artistic perfection of "Woe from Wit", the brilliance of the language, the amazingly vivid depiction of life and customs, and the realistic accuracy of Griboyedov's images.

The comedy shows the struggle between the new and the old, which flared up more and more, penetrating into different spheres of life, reflected in art and literature. Observing this struggle in life, Griboedov showed it in his comedy from the point of view of a leading person of his time, close in views to the Decembrists. In the image of Chatsky, Griboedov, for the first time in Russian literature, showed a “new man”, inspired by sublime ideas, rebelling against a reactionary society in defense of freedom, humanity, intelligence and culture, cultivating a new morality, developing a new view of the world and human relations. Alexander Andreevich Chatsky is a young man, a nobleman.

Chatsky's parents died early, and he was brought up in the house of Famusov, a friend of his late father. Chatsky is not only smart, but also a developed person, with feeling, or as the maid Liza recommends him: Yes, sir, so to speak, he is eloquent, but not painfully cunning; But be a military man, be a civilian, Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp, Like Alexander Andreich Chatsky! In "Woe from Wit" all Famusov's guests slavishly copy the customs, habits and outfits of French milliners and rootless visiting crooks who made a living on Russian bread.

Empty, slavish, blind imitation;

So that he would plant a spark in someone with a soul,

Who could, by word and example

Hold us like a strong rein,

From the pitiful nausea on the stranger's side.

Chatsky passionately loves his homeland, but not the state of kings, landowners and officials, but people's Russia, with its mighty forces, cherished traditions, intelligence and hard work. This genuine love for the homeland turned into ardent hatred of all kinds of slavery and oppression of the people - social, political, spiritual. The nobles of Famusov’s circle value rank and wealth in people, and Chatsky is sincere, witty, he laughs at Famusov, sharply jokes about the Moscow nobles, their lives and pastimes:

Aren't these rich in robbery?

They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,

Magnificent building chambers,

Where they spill out in feasts and extravagance.

And who in Moscow didn’t have their mouths covered?

Lunches, dinners and dances?

Famusov tries to teach Chatsky:

“Brother, don’t mismanage your property.

And most importantly, serve.”

Chatsky despises people who are ready

The patrons yawn at the ceiling,

Show up to be quiet, shuffle around, have lunch,

Bring up a chair and pick up the scarf.

He believes that it is necessary to serve “the cause, not individuals.” Chatsky defends the right of a person to freely choose his own activities: travel, live in the countryside, “focus his mind” on science or devote himself to “creative, high and beautiful arts,” so Famusov declares Chatsky a dangerous person who does not recognize the authorities.

Chatsky - the image of the “new man”

Chatsky begins a new century - and this is his whole meaning and his whole mind.

I. A. Goncharov

Chatsky's parents died early, and he was brought up in the house of Famusov, a friend of his late father. Chatsky is not only smart, but also a developed person, with feeling, or as the maid Liza recommends him: Yes, sir, so to speak, he is eloquent, but not painfully cunning; But be a military man, be a civilian, Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp, Like Alexander Andreich Chatsky! In "Woe from Wit" all Famusov's guests slavishly copy the customs, habits and outfits of French milliners and rootless visiting crooks who made a living on Russian bread. They all speak “a mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod” and are dumb with delight at the sight of any visiting “Frenchman from Bordeaux.” Through the lips of Chatsky, Griboedov with the greatest passion exposed this unworthy servility to others and contempt for one’s own:

May the Lord destroy this unclean spirit

Empty, slavish, blind imitation;

So that he would plant a spark in someone with a soul,

Who could, by word and example

Hold us like a strong rein,

From the pitiful nausea on the stranger's side.

Aren't these rich in robbery?

They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,

Magnificent building chambers,

Where they spill out in feasts and extravagance.

And who in Moscow didn’t have their mouths covered?

Lunches, dinners and dances?

Famusov tries to teach Chatsky:

“Brother, don’t mismanage your property.

And most importantly, serve.”

Chatsky despises people who are ready

The patrons yawn at the ceiling,

Show up to be quiet, shuffle around, have lunch,

Bring up a chair and pick up the scarf.

He believes that it is necessary to serve “the cause, not individuals.” Chatsky defends the right of a person to freely choose his own activities: travel, live in the countryside, “focus his mind” on science or devote himself to “creative, high and beautiful arts,” so Famusov declares Chatsky a dangerous person who does not recognize the authorities.

A. A. Chatsky is seriously preparing for social activities. “He writes and translates beautifully,” Famusov says about him and goes on and on about his high intelligence. He traveled, studied, read, apparently got to work, had relations with ministers and went his separate ways. It’s not hard to guess why: “I’d be glad to serve, but being served is sickening.”
