Sometimes we are so far from reality in our dreams that another comeback actually brings us pain and disappointment. And we run away from the slightest troubles of life, from its coldness and insensitivity. In our pink dreams we see a bright future, in our dreams we again try to build crystal castles in a cloudless sky. But there is a feeling in our lives that is so close to our dreams that it almost touches them. This is Love. With him we feel protected from the vicissitudes of fate. Already from childhood, the foundations of love and affection are laid in the minds of everyone. And each person will carry them throughout his life, sharing them with the world around him, thereby making it wider and brighter. But sometimes it seems that people are becoming more and more grounded own interests, and even feelings become victims of such a landing. They become stale, turn into ice, and become smaller. Unfortunately, not everyone has to experience happy and sincere love. And even that has its ups and downs. And some even wonder: Does it exist in the world? And yet, I really want to believe that this is a magical feeling, in the name of which, for the sake of a loved one, you can sacrifice the most valuable thing - even own life. Precisely about such a selfless and forgiving love, writes Kuprin in his story “ Garnet bracelet».

The first pages of the story are devoted to a description of nature. It’s as if all events happen against their miraculous light background, it comes true wonderful fairy tale love. Coldish autumn landscape fading nature is similar in essence to the mood of Vera Nikolaevna Sheina. From it we predict her calm, unapproachable character. Nothing attracts her in this life, perhaps that is why the brightness of her being is enslaved by everyday life and dullness. Even during a conversation with her sister Anna, in which the latter admires the beauty of the sea, she replies that at first this beauty also excites her, and then “begins to crush her with its flat emptiness...”. Vera could not be imbued with a sense of beauty in the world around her. She was not a natural romantic. And, having seen something out of the ordinary, some peculiarity, I tried (even if involuntarily) to bring it down to earth, to compare it with the world around me. Her life flowed slowly, measuredly, quietly, and, it would seem, satisfied life principles, without going beyond their scope. Vera married a prince, yes, but the same exemplary, quiet person as she herself was. It's just time, though oh hot, passionate love there was no question. And so Vera Nikolaevna receives from Zheltkov a bracelet, the shine of the garnets plunges her into horror, the thought “like blood” immediately pierces her brain, and now a clear feeling about the impending misfortune weighs on her, and this time it is not at all empty. From that moment on, her peace of mind was destroyed. Having received a letter along with the bracelet in which Zheltkov confesses his love to her, there is no limit to the growing excitement. Vera considered Zheltkov “unfortunate”; she could not understand the tragedy of this love. The expression “happy unhappy person” turned out to be somewhat contradictory. After all, in his feeling for Vera, Zheltkov experienced happiness. He ended his life on the orders of Tuganovsky, thereby blessing the woman he loved. Leaving forever, he thought that Vera’s path would become free, her life would improve and go on as before. But there is no turning back. Farewell to Zheltkov’s body was climax her life. At this moment, the power of love reached its maximum value and became equal to death. Eight years of bad, selfless love that demands nothing in return, eight years of devotion to a sweet ideal, selflessness from own principles. In one short moment of happiness, sacrificing everything accumulated over such a long period of time is not something everyone can do. But Zheltkov’s love for Vera did not obey any models, she was above them. And even if her end turned out to be tragic, Zheltkov’s forgiveness was rewarded. Crystal Palace, in which Vera lived, crashed, letting a lot of light, warmth, and sincerity into life. Merging in the finale with Beethoven’s music, it merges with both Zheltkov’s love and eternal memory about him.

I would so much like this fairy tale about the all-forgiving and strong love, created by I. A. Kuprin. I would like so much that cruel reality could never defeat our sincere feelings, our love. We must increase it, be proud of it. Love, true love, you need to study diligently, like the most painstaking science. However, love does not come if you wait for its appearance every minute, and at the same time, it does not flare up out of nothing, but also extinguish the strong one, true love impossible. She, different in all manifestations, is not a model life traditions, but rather an exception to the rule. And yet a person needs love for purification, for acquiring the meaning of life. A loving person is capable of sacrifice for the sake of peace and happiness of a loved one. And yet he is happy. We must bring into love all the best that we feel, that we are proud of. And then bright sun will certainly illuminate it, and even the most ordinary love will become sacred, merging into one with eternity. Forever…

Humanization of the learning process requires creative approach teacher to design an educational lesson. Since the role of education in modern society is not limited to simply imparting a certain amount of knowledge, education must turn this knowledge into a tool for creative exploration of the world around us, and at the same time there is not only an increase in knowledge, skills, abilities, but also the development of the personality itself. Therefore, it is relevant to turn teaching practice to research, search methods of teaching, when the student is placed in a situation of gaining knowledge in the process of active cognition.

Studying literary work- this is serious work for a student. And the teacher’s task is to make this work attractive, to organize it in such a way that communication with the book becomes a discovery for the student life values, brought joy to the process of learning itself, and not disappointment. Therefore, the material offered to the student must be built on the basis of personal, semantic and emotional-psychological significance. The student’s involvement in the process of cognition and research of the problem being studied occurs on a dialogue basis, namely, the teacher’s question evokes in the student not only and not so much an answer, but in turn a question. Therefore, the value of such a dialogue is not only that the learning process becomes personally significant, but also that the learning process is implemented both in the sphere of knowledge and moral-ethical, based on the enrichment of the subjective experience of the student’s personality.

The research method is organized on the basis joint activities students, which meets not only their increased need for interpersonal communication, but also creates conditions for their personal growth.

Since from the very beginning of the lesson their independent search activity is stimulated, and at the end of the lesson there is certainly a general feeling of moving forward on the path of knowledge, self-enrichment, and a joyful awareness of success.

For the teacher, the main task becomes the ability to create an appropriate emotional and intellectual environment in the classroom, an atmosphere of psychological support, and a situation of success. Group study transforms each student and the whole study group into subjects of self-study.

Love... alone more valuable than wealth, glory and wisdom... more valuable than life itself, because she does not even value life and is not afraid of death.

A.I. Kuprin

During the classes

I. Organizational stage.

• 
  Greetings.
• 
  Checking the presence and readiness of students for the lesson.

• 
  introduction teacher: (Sviridov’s music sounds, creating emotional mood to the lesson).

You can't call your mouth coral,

The open skin of the shoulders is not snow-white,

And a strand curls like black wire.
With damask rose, scarlet or white,

You can't compare the shade of these cheeks.

And the body smells like the body smells,

Not like a violet's delicate petal.
You won't find perfect lines in it,

Special light on the forehead.

I don't know how the goddesses walk,

But the darling steps on the ground.
And yet she will hardly yield to those

Who was slandered in comparisons of magnificent people.

These lines are dedicated to the all-exalting, beautiful, eternal love. Shakespeare devoted many works to the theme of love, as did many poets and writers. With no less justification, Kuprin can be called a singer of sublime love.

• 
  Goal setting.

III. Updating the subjective experience of students.

The teacher asks students to explain the meaning of the statement A.I. Kuprina“Love... alone is more valuable than wealth, fame and wisdom... more valuable than life itself, because it does not even value life and is not afraid of death,” based on the plots of his works.

Suggested answer: Love in Kuprin's works is always unselfish and selfless; it does not expect reward and is often stronger than even death itself. For many of the writer’s heroes, it forever remained the greatest secret in the world and at the same time a tragedy. In Kuprin’s works, love is the kind for which to accomplish any feat, to go to torment, is not labor at all, but joy. No life conveniences, calculations and compromises should concern her. It was this kind of love that touched the Polish “witch” Olesya, who fell in love with the “kind, but only weak” Ivan Timofeevich. “Pure and kind” Romashov, the hero of the story “The Duel,” sacrifices himself for the sake of the calculating Shurochka Nikolaeva. Such is both knightly and romantic love Zheltkova to Princess Vera Nikolaevna (the story “The Garnet Bracelet”), which absorbed his entire being.

Despite the tragic ending, Kuprin's heroes are happy. They believe that the love that illuminated their lives is a truly wonderful feeling. Olesya's only regret is that she does not have a child with her loved one. Zheltkov dies, blessing his beloved woman. This is how Kuprin describes love. You read and think: this probably doesn’t happen in life, but despite common sense, I want it to be.

Teacher: And now, I propose, together with the author, to look into the closet of a poor official to look at examples of amazing beauty and strength perfect love. At home you read the story by A.I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet". This touching work tells the story of the hopeless love of a petty official, Zhetkov, for a very respected society lady. It once again depicts a difficult life for the reader." little man" It is full of small joys and the great emotions associated with them, modest desires and huge sincere feelings. Zheltkov – Bright representative this class of people. But, unfortunately, the immense love of the “little man” is already doomed to failure from the very beginning. Let's not delve into the main conflict for now. He will try to convey the plot of the story succinctly.
The student retells the plot of the story: a petty official, a lonely and timid dreamer, falls in love with a young society lady, a representative of the so-called “upper class”. Unrequited and hopeless love continues for eight years. The lover's letters serve as the subject of ridicule and bullying by members of the family clan of princes Shein and Bulat-Tuganovsky. Princess Vera Nikolaevna, the recipient of these love revelations, does not take them seriously either. A gift sent by an unknown lover - a garnet bracelet - causes a storm of indignation from the princess's brother, fellow prosecutor Bulat-Tuganovsky. He is ready to trample and destroy the “plebeian” who dares to show signs of attention to a hereditary noblewoman. People close to the princess consider the poor telegraph operator to be abnormal, a maniac. And only the old general Anosov, with whom the princess likes to be frank, guesses about the true motives for such risky actions of the unknown lover: “And - who knows? Maybe yours life path“Verochka has crossed the path of exactly the kind of love that women dream about and that men are no longer capable of.” The love of the “little man” ends tragically. Unable to withstand a collision with a world of cruelty and indifference, with bitterness and hardened souls, the hero of the story dies.

Teacher: I remembered a poem by the Austrian poet half of the 19th century century Nikolai Lenau, which has a connection with the content of the story “Garnet Bracelet”:

To remain silent and perish... But dearer,

What is life, magical shackles?

Your best dream is in her eyes

Search without saying a word!

Like the light of a shy lamp

Trembling in the face of the Madonna

And, dying, he catches the eye,

Her heavenly gaze is bottomless!..

“Be silent and perish” - this is the spiritual vow of a telegraph operator in love. And yet he violates it, reminding himself of the only and inaccessible Madonna. This supports hope in his soul, gives him the strength to endure the suffering of love, passionate, sizzling, which he is ready to take with him to other world. Death does not frighten the hero. Love stronger than death. He is grateful to the one who evokes this wonderful feeling in his heart, which has elevated him, a “little” man, above the huge, vain world, the world of injustice and malice. That is why, when leaving this life, he blesses his beloved: “Hallowed be thy name.”

Student: Could such love really exist? “Garnet Bracelet” - pure fiction or did Kuprin manage to find a plot in life that corresponds to his author’s idea?

Teacher: The work is based on real fact- the love story of a modest official for a socialite, the mother of the writer L. Lyubimov. (excerpt read out)

Teacher: As you know, this is not the case with Kuprin. Why do you think he retreated from real events? (the tragic outcome of the story “gets on the nerves more strongly”, makes a greater impression, gives extraordinary strength and weight to Zheltkov’s feelings).

• 
  What is this man's drama? (Student retelling of Chapter 8).

Teacher: This is how the story begins with the theme of true love, love for which, according to Anosov, “to accomplish a feat, to give one’s life, to go to torment is not work at all, but one joy.” According to the writer, “love should be a tragedy. The greatest secret in the world! No life conveniences, calculations or compromises should concern her.” Kuprin tried to find such love in real life and sang it in his story. And when Vera tells her “grandfather” about the garnet bracelet and the reverent adoration of her by a certain GSG, Anosov utters a phrase that has become prophetic for Vera: “Perhaps your path in life... has been crossed by exactly the kind of love that women dream of and that men are no longer capable of »

“Every woman dreams of love, “united, all-forgiving, ready for anything, modest and selfless.” This is the ideal of love according to Kuprin.
The teacher asks students questions:

• 
  Remember how Vera’s brother Nikolai Mirza, Bulat-Tuganovsky, behaved after learning about the bracelet?
• 
  Find in his remarks words that testify to his class arrogance, about deep contempt for people below his circle.

Prince Shein and the princess's brother decide to find Zheltkov and return the bracelet to him in order to keep good name Vera and her husband. The appearance of the telegraph operator is unusual: “Very pale, with a gentle girlish face, with blue eyes and a stubborn childish chin with a dimple in the middle.” He is very excited, looking at Vasily Lvovich with pleading eyes. Seven years of “hopeless and hot-tempered love” have passed, but feelings cannot be drowned out. Zheltkov sees the only way out - death. The “enormous tragedy of the soul” is resolved by suicide.

(The teacher invites students to answer questions - continuation of the dialogue)

  How does Mirza-Bulat-Tuganovsky behave during a meeting?
• 
  How does Zheltkov behave?

• 
  Why? (Apparently, this music revealed to Vera Nikolaevna the beauty of his love and helped her understand everything and feel forgiven).

Beethoven's music sounds Moonlight Sonata", student reads the end Chapter XIII, where the writer conveys the words formed in Vera Nikolaevna’s imagination under the influence of music, which seem to come from Zheltkov.”

• 
  Has Zheltkov forgiven the princess? ( Vera feels that her lover has forgiven her. I could not help but forgive, because in mournful hour parting, on the verge of death, still sang the glory of his goddess?)
• 
  Would you forgive a person whom you loved passionately and who did not reciprocate your feelings?
• 
  How does the writer see true love? ( True love, according to Kuprin, is the basis of everything earthly. It should not be isolated, undivided. Love should be based on high sincere feelings and strive for the ideal. This is a holy tragedy in human life. Love is stronger than death and elevates a little person above the vain world of injustice and malice).
• 
  Why did Kuprin title the story “Garnet Bracelet”? ( The main events in the story are connected with this decoration. And the grenades on the bracelet with their “bloody lights” trembling inside are a symbol of love and tragedy in the hero’s fate).
• 
  What mood will the ending of the story have? ( Zheltkov dies, but Vera awakens to life; something previously inaccessible was revealed to her, that same “great love that repeats itself once every thousand years. The heroes loved each other only for a moment, but forever).

The teacher invites students to discuss the following questions:

1. 
   What is the idea of ​​the story by A.I. Kuprin “Garnet Bracelet”?

The teacher reads the words of K. Paustovsky that “Kuprin cried over his manuscript of the “Garnet Bracelet”, cried with stingy and relieving tears, said that he had never written anything more chaste.”

  The teacher evaluates the work of each student in class.

INTRODUCTION: To the sounds of music by G. Sviridov “Illustrations for the story A, S Pushkin “Blizzard”, the teacher reads a sonnet by W. Shakespeare by heart.

Her eyes are not like stars

You can't call your mouth coral,

The open skin of the shoulders is not snow-white,

And a strand curls like black wire.

With damask rose, scarlet or white,

You can't compare the shade of these cheeks,

And the body smells like the body smells,

Not like a violet's delicate petal.

You won't find perfect lines in it,

A special color on the forehead.

I don't know how the goddesses walk,

And the darling steps on the ground.

But still she will hardly give in to those

Who was slandered in comparisons of magnificent people.

TEACHER: These words belong to the great Shakespeare. And here is how Vs reflects on this feeling 500 years later. Christmas.

Love, love is a mysterious word,

Who could fully understand him?

Everything is always old or new,

Are you languor of spirit or grace?

Irreversible loss

Or endless enrichment?

Hot day, what a sunset

Or the night that devastated hearts?

Or maybe you're just a reminder

About what inevitably awaits us all?

And the eternal world cycle?

TEACHER: Love is one of the most sublime, noble and beautiful human feelings. True love is always selfless and selfless. What sayings about love have you found?

(Students read out the quotes they found, then the teacher asks them to write down the ones they like.)

TEACHER: Aristotle said about this about 2.5 thousand years ago: “To love means to wish for another what you consider to be good, and to wish, moreover, not for your own sake, but for the sake of the one you love, and try, if possible, to deliver it good."

It is this kind of love, amazing in beauty and strength, that is depicted in the story “The Garnet Bracelet,” written in 1910. The work is based on real fact - history the love of a modest official for a socialite, the mother of the writer Leonid Lyubimov.

TEACHER'S FINAL WORD.

A particular case is poeticized by Kuprin, brought to the level of general philosophical generalizations.... Love, according to Kuprin, “is always tragedy, always struggle, always joy and fear, resurrection and death.” The tragedy of love, the tragedy of life only emphasize their beauty.

Not in strength, not in dexterity, not in intelligence, not in talent,

Individuality is not expressed in creativity. But

HOMEWORK. Write a miniature essay or argument on the problem raised by the writer, according to the algorithm for the written answer of Part C within the framework of the Unified State Exam.

• Classic works are often dedicated to eternal themes: love, death, friendship, war and others. It is not surprising that such a sensitive and attentive person as Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin wrote some of his most successful works about love. This is “The Duel”, and “Olesya”, and, of course, the story “The Garnet Bracelet”, in which the author’s view of this great feeling is clearly visible.
• The theme of love belongs to the category of those that can be clearly or implicitly detected in absolutely any work. For each reader it reveals itself in its own way, and somehow especially resonates in the soul. When the theme of love is assigned central place in the work, as in the story by I.A. Kuprin’s “Garnet Bracelet”, the reader not only gets acquainted with the story told by the writer, but feels it.

Each idea can be developed in different ways, confirming it different examples from the text of the story. The first option can also be supplemented with details of the author's biography.

Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin lived rich life. This is probably why in his stories he talks about eternal values, and does not pursue popular plots and heroes. “The Garnet Bracelet” can hardly be called life-like, but Kuprin always argued that his best story, in his opinion, is a true story. The story is actually based on real events, but the plot was based on a funny rather than a tragic episode. This is the unique talent of the author - to notice something unusual in everyday routine and create literary masterpieces.

The character, who by the will of the author was destined to experience “disinterested, selfless, not requiring reward” love, is not in the foreground: he is hidden behind letters to Princess Vera, as if he had never existed at all. Even his name is unknown to the reader: at the end of the story we only learn that the person hidden behind the abbreviation “P.P.Zh” is telegraph operator Zheltkov. But for Kuprin, neither his status nor his name matter. He transfers all the excitement about this to another hero of the story - Vera’s brother. Nikolai Nikolaevich and partly Vera’s husband, Prince Vasily Lvovich, express public position. The author needs these heroes because she own point view differs from the generally accepted one.

Kuprin, contrary to first impressions, shows that the most happy hero Zheltkov appeared in the story. He is the only one who could experience strong feeling, albeit unrequited. And Princess Vera could only get closer to love, which happens only once in a lifetime. Vera Nikolaevna was “cold”, “royally calm”, “a little patronizingly kind”, but still one cannot exclude her ability to feel. “Leave me, I know that this man will kill himself,” she says to her husband, realizing that she had missed what she was subconsciously looking for in conversations with Anosov, in thoughts alone with herself: “You see, the kind of love for which to do anything a feat, to give one’s life, to undergo torture is not work at all, but one joy.”

Over time, Zheltkov no longer needs reciprocity: he is nourished by love itself. At that moment when Nikolai Nikolaevich and Vasily Lvovich deprive him of the very opportunity to love, Zheltkov does not see the point in living further. The last hope for love with his death also disappears for Vera Nikolaevna: “At that second she realized that the love that every woman dreams of had passed her by.”

Our own perception of love in the story “The Garnet Bracelet” requires at the same time a deeper analysis of the text.

Each person understands and perceives love differently. It's a matter of choice: to believe in it or consider it possible only in fiction. The story of Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin “The Garnet Bracelet” is not only talentedly written, it also has interesting story, but also universal in perception. It is difficult to say in whose appearance the soul of the author is hidden, although Kuprin’s sympathy and sympathy for Zheltkov is obvious.

The hero, to whom the author entrusts a great feeling, is small and inconspicuous, hidden from the world. In a rather awkward conversation with Vera Nikolaevna’s husband, Zheltkov, perhaps the first and last time can talk openly about his experiences. This complexity is close to each of us, because we often hide our own feelings from the world and those around us, afraid of being rejected, but hoping for reciprocity.

At first, Zheltkov blames himself for the inappropriate feeling, but later he realizes that he cannot cope with love, and accepts it as the greatest gift: “I tested myself - this is not a disease, not a manic idea - this is love, which God wanted for whatever reason.” "To reward me." He is not afraid to be funny or absurd, he loves - and this is his happiness.

Zheltkov’s feelings resonate even in the soul of Prince Shein, although he should absolutely justifiably be offended and overcome with jealousy: “The main thing is that I see his face, and I feel that this man is not capable of deceiving and knowingly lying. Indeed, think, Kolya, is he to blame for love and is it possible to control such a feeling as love - a feeling that has not yet found an interpreter. - After thinking, the prince said: “I feel sorry for this man.” And not only do I feel sorry, but I also feel that I am present at some enormous tragedy of the soul, and I cannot clown around here.” The power of Zheltkov’s love repels all possible opposing forces and even after his death resounds with the sounds of a Beethoven sonata and the quiet whisper “Hallowed be thy name.”

In the final part of the essay, you can draw conclusions corresponding to the chosen essay idea:

• Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin’s story “The Garnet Bracelet” is a reflection of the author’s understanding of the feeling of love and a variant of the disclosure of this topic in the writer’s work. Many of his works are dedicated to the most valuable thing for his characters and, probably, for the author himself - love.
• Vera Nikolaevna, as an object of love, touches her with reverence - greatest miracle in her understanding - and with bitter regret she realizes that she realized her loss too late. However, because the author called love “unselfish, selfless, not requiring reward,” the princess believes that Zheltkov forgave her.
• The author does not talk about great love– he shows it. By the end of the story, the reader unconditionally believes in Zheltkov’s feelings, imbued with faith in the same way as the heroes of the story.
• The feeling of love described by Kuprin is close to any reader - callous or sensitive, attentive to detail or superficial. The author of the story managed to create a universal system of characters, each of which reflects different views on the problem raised. Kuprin shows that love may not be seen, may be understood and accepted, but only the happiest and in exceptional cases manage to truly experience the great feeling of love.

Love is selfless, selfless, not waiting for reward, based on the story by I.A. Kuprin “The Garnet Bracelet”

Sometimes we are so far from reality in our dreams that the next return to reality brings us pain and disappointment. And we run away from the slightest troubles of life, from its coldness and insensitivity. In our pink dreams we see a bright future, in our dreams we again try to build crystal castles in a cloudless sky. But there is a feeling in our lives that is so close to our dreams that it almost touches them. This is Love. With him we feel protected from the vicissitudes of fate. Already from childhood, the foundations of love and affection are laid in the minds of everyone. And each person will carry them throughout his life, sharing them with the world around him, thereby making it wider and brighter. thereby making it wider and lighter. But sometimes it seems that people are increasingly grounding their own interests, and even feelings become victims of such grounding. They become stale, turn into ice, and become smaller. Unfortunately, not everyone has to experience happy and sincere love. And even that has its ups and downs. And some even wonder: Does it exist in the world? And yet, I really want to believe that this is a magical feeling, in the name of which, for the sake of a loved one, you can sacrifice the most valuable thing - even your own life. It is about this kind of selfless and all-forgiving love that Kuprin writes in his story “The Garnet Bracelet.”
The first pages of the story are devoted to a description of nature. It’s as if all events take place against their miraculous light background, a wonderful fairy tale of love comes true. The cold autumn landscape of fading nature is similar in essence to the mood of Vera Nikolaevna Sheina. From it we predict her calm, unapproachable character. Nothing attracts her in this life, perhaps that is why the brightness of her being is enslaved by everyday life and dullness. Even during a conversation with her sister Anna, in which the latter admires the beauty of the sea, she replies that at first this beauty also excites her, and then “begins to crush her with its flat emptiness...”. Vera could not be imbued with a sense of beauty in the world around her. She was not a natural romantic. And, having seen something out of the ordinary, some peculiarity, I tried (even if involuntarily) to bring it down to earth, to compare it with the world around me. Her life flowed slowly, measuredly, quietly, and, it would seem, satisfied the principles of life without going beyond them. Vera married a prince, yes, but the same exemplary, quiet person as she herself was. The time had simply come, although there was no talk of hot, passionate love. And so Vera Nikolaevna receives from Zheltkov a bracelet, the shine of the garnets plunges her into horror, the thought “like blood” immediately pierces her brain, and now a clear feeling about the impending misfortune weighs on her, and this time it is not at all empty. From that moment on, her peace of mind was destroyed. Having received a letter along with the bracelet in which Zheltkov confesses his love to her, there is no limit to the growing excitement. Vera considered Zheltkov “unfortunate”; she could not understand the tragedy of this love. The expression “happy unhappy person” turned out to be somewhat contradictory. After all, in his feeling for Vera, Zheltkov experienced happiness. He ended his life on the orders of Tuganovsky, thereby blessing the woman he loved. Leaving forever, he thought that Vera’s path would become free, her life would improve and go on as before. But there is no turning back. Saying goodbye to Zheltkov’s body was the culminating moment of her life. At this moment, the power of love reached its maximum value and became equal to death. Eight years of bad, selfless love that demands nothing in return, eight years of devotion to a sweet ideal, selflessness from one’s own principles. In one short moment of happiness, sacrificing everything accumulated over such a long period of time is not something everyone can do. But Zheltkov’s love for Vera did not obey any models, she was above them. And even if her end turned out to be tragic, Zheltkov’s forgiveness was rewarded. The crystal palace in which Vera lived shattered, letting in a lot of light, warmth, and sincerity into life. Merging in the finale with Beethoven’s music, it merges with Zheltkov’s love and with the eternal memory of him.
I would really like this fairy tale about all-forgiving and strong love, created by I. A. Kuprin, to penetrate into our monotonous life. I would like so much that cruel reality could never defeat our sincere feelings, our love. We must increase it, be proud of it. Love, true love, must be studied diligently, like the most painstaking science. However, love does not come if you wait for its appearance every minute, and at the same time, it does not flare up out of nothing, but it is also impossible to extinguish strong, true love. She, different in all manifestations, is not an example of life traditions, but rather an exception to the rule. And yet a person needs love for purification, for acquiring the meaning of life. A loving person is capable of sacrifice for the sake of peace and happiness of a loved one. And yet he is happy. We must bring into love all the best that we feel, that we are proud of. And then the bright sun will surely illuminate it, and even the most ordinary love will become sacred, merging into one with eternity. Forever…
