A. N. Ostrovsky is rightfully considered the singer of the merchant milieu, the father of Russian everyday drama, Russian national theater. He is the author of about 60 plays, and one of the most famous is “The Thunderstorm”. A. N. Dobrolyubov called Ostrovsky’s play “The Thunderstorm” the most decisive work, since “the mutual relations of tyranny and voicelessness are brought to tragic consequences in it... There is something refreshing and encouraging in “The Thunderstorm”. This something is, in our opinion, the background of the play.”

The background of the play is made up of minor characters. This is the constant companion of Katerina, the main character of the play, Varvara, the sister of Katerina’s husband, Tikhon Kabanova. She is the opposite of Katerina. Her main rule: “Do whatever you want, as long as everything is sewn and covered.” You can’t deny Varvara her intelligence and cunning, before marriage she wants to be everywhere, to try everything, because she knows that “girls go out as they please, father and mother don’t care. Only women are locked up.” Lying is the norm for her. Otsa directly tells Katerina that it is impossible without deception: “Our whole house rests on this. And I wasn’t a liar, but I learned when it became necessary.”

Varvara adapted to the “dark kingdom” and studied its laws and rules. She feels authority, strength, readiness and even a desire to deceive. She is, in fact, the future Kabanikha, because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Varvara's friend, Kudryash, is a match for her. He is the only one in the city of Kalinov who can repel the Wild One. “I am considered a rude person; Why is he holding me? Therefore, he needs me. Well, that means I’m not afraid of him, but let him be afraid of me...” says Kudryash. He behaves cheekily, smartly, boldly, boasts of his prowess and knowledge of the “merchant establishment.” Kudryash is the second Wild, only still young.

In the end, Varvara and Kudryash leave the “dark kingdom,” but their escape does not mean at all that they have completely freed themselves from old traditions and laws and will accept new laws of life and honest rules. Once free, they will most likely try to become masters of life themselves.

The play also contains true victims of the “dark kingdom”. This is Katerina Kabanova’s husband, Tikhon, a weak-willed, spineless creature. He listens to his mother in everything and obeys her, does not have a clear position in life, courage, courage. His image fully corresponds to his name - Tikhon (quiet). Young Kabanov not only does not respect himself, but also allows his mother to shamelessly treat his wife. This is especially evident in the farewell scene before leaving for the fair. Tikhon repeats all his mother’s instructions and moral teachings word for word. Kabanov could not resist his mother in any way; he slowly drank himself to death, becoming even more weak-willed and quiet. Of course, she cannot love and respect such a husband, but her soul yearns for love. She falls in love with Dikiy's nephew, Boris. But Katerina fell in love with him, in Dobrolyubov’s apt expression, “in the wilderness,” because in essence Boris is not much different from Tikhon. Maybe a little more educated. Boris's lack of will, his desire to receive his part of his grandmother's inheritance (and he will receive it only if he is respectful to his uncle) turned out to be stronger than love. .

In the “dark kingdom” the wanderer Feklusha enjoys great reverence and respect. Feklushi's stories about the lands where people with dog heads live are perceived as irrefutable information about the world. But not everything in it is so gloomy: there are also living, sympathetic souls. This is a self-taught mechanic, Kuligin, who invents a perpetual motion machine. He is kind and active, literally obsessed with a constant desire to do something useful for people. But all his good intentions run into a thick wall of misunderstanding, indifference, and ignorance. So, in response to an attempt to install steel lightning rods on houses, he receives a furious rebuff from the Dikiy: “The thunderstorm is sent to us as punishment so that we can feel it, but you want to defend yourself, God forgive me, with poles and some kind of rods.”

Kuligin is essentially the reasoner in the play; the condemnation of the “dark kingdom” is put into his mouth: “Cruel, sir, the morals in our city are cruel... Whoever has money, sir, tries to enslave the poor so that he can get even more free money for his labors.” make money..."

But Kuligin, like Tikhon, Boris, Varvara, Kudryash, adapted to the “dark kingdom” and came to terms with such a life. The secondary characters, as already mentioned, are the background against which the tragedy of a desperate woman unfolds. Every face in the play, every image was a step on the ladder that led Katerina to the banks of the Volga, to death.

THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF MINIOR CHARACTERS IN THE DRAMA “THE STORM”.

"The Thunderstorm" represents the idyll of the "dark kingdom". The characters themselves in the drama have no idea of ​​the meaning of their situation. Persons who do not directly participate in the intrigues seem unnecessary and superfluous, but we, the readers, see completely different facts, and it is these persons who create the background of the work and the atmosphere of the life of the main characters.

Minor characters show us the environment in which the action takes place; the life of the main characters must be considered not only in the direct relationships of several individuals, but also their everyday environment.

Katerina is whole, strong nature, she endures only for the time being. Katerina’s speech, musical, melodious, reminds folk songs: characterized by repetitions, an abundance of words of endearment and diminutive, comparisons.

Varvara is a smart, powerful, cunning girl. Before getting married, she wants to try everything. Her motto: “Do whatever you want, as long as it’s sewn and covered.” From the outside she looks like Kabanikha, only she’s still too young. To adapt to the “dark kingdom”, she has to lie, and she herself does not hide it. There is a feeling that she likes to lie and be cunning.

Her friend Ivan Kudryash is a lively, brave, strong rude man. He realized that strength was valued in the city of Kalinin, even Dikoy was afraid of him. But if you look closely, in the future Kudryash is Dikoy.

Varvara and Ivan defended their love, they ran away from the “dark kingdom,” probably in order to build their own, the same, somewhere else.

Katerina's husband, Tikhon, is one of many pathetic types who are called harmless, although in a general sense they are harmful, because they serve as their faithful assistants. Tikhon loved his wife and was ready to do anything for her, but the oppression under which he grew up so disfigured him that there was no strong feeling, there can be no decisive desire to develop. He has a conscience, a desire for good. He constantly acts against himself and serves as a submissive instrument of his mother, even in his relations with his wife.

Katerina believes in the covenants with deep sincerity folk morality which are reflected in Christianity. She is pure in soul: lies and debauchery are alien and disgusting to her. The straightforwardness of Ostrovsky's heroine is one of the sources of her tragedy.

Katerina thought that she loved this man, but over time she realized that this was not so. That in fact she had never loved before, but her soul and heart wanted to experience this new, unknown feeling. She falls in love with Boris, Dikiy's nephew. All the characters in this play are very similar to each other. So, Boris is very similar to Quiet. Boris is the same, in essence, only “educated”. Education took away from him the strength to do dirty tricks, but it did not give him the strength to resist the dirty tricks that others do; it has not even developed in him the ability to behave in such a way as to remain alien to everything disgusting that swarms around him. He submits to other people's nasty things, he willy-nilly participates in them and must accept all their consequences. But he understands his position, talks about it, and often even deceives for the first time truly living and strong natures, who, judging by themselves, think that if a person thinks so, understands so, then he should do so.

The wanderer Feklusha enjoys respect in the “dark kingdom”. She feels good among the naive Kalinovites, she is revered, treated and provided with everything she needs. It is from her that the residents learn what is going on in the world. But Feklusha is smart in her own way, she will never say that other lands are better than Kalinin. It’s easier for her to intimidate people by talking about wrong judges and people with dog heads.

Self-taught mechanic Kuligin - a kind person, obsessed with the desire to do something useful for people. But they don’t understand him, they treat him indifferently.

So what can such people do? Just put up with the established traditions of the “dark kingdom”.

The life of these people flows smoothly and peacefully, no interests of the world disturb them, because they do not reach them. And they themselves do not strive for anything.

The premiere of "The Thunderstorm" took place on December 2, 1859 in Alexandrinsky Theater In Petersburg. A.A.

The importance of minor characters in Ostrovsky's drama "The Thunderstorm"

A. N. Ostrovsky is rightfully considered a singer of the merchant milieu, the father of Russian everyday drama, Russian theater. He is the author of about 60 plays, of which the most famous are “The Dowry”, “Late Love”, “The Forest”, “For Every Wise Man Enough Simplicity”, “Our People Are Numbered”, “The Thunderstorm” and many others.

A.N. Dobrolyubov called Ostrovsky’s play “The Thunderstorm” the most decisive work, since “the mutual relations of tyranny and voicelessness are brought to tragic consequences in it... There is something refreshing and encouraging in “The Thunderstorm”. This is what, in our opinion, , the background of the play." Who makes up this background? Minor characters. So, the constant companion of Katerina, the main character of the play, Varvara, the sister of Katerina’s husband, Tikhon Kabanova. She is Katerina's opponent. Her main rule: “do whatever you want, as long as everything is sewn and covered.” You can’t deny Varvara her intelligence, cunning and lightness; before marriage she wants to be in time everywhere, to try everything, because she knows that “the girls go out for themselves as they want, their father and mother don’t care. Only the women are locked up.” Lying is the norm for her. In a conversation with Katerina, she directly talks about this: Katerina: - I don’t know how to deceive; I can’t hide anything.

Varvara: - Well, you can’t do without it... Our whole house rests on this. And I was not a liar, but I learned when it became necessary.

Varvara adapted to the dark kingdom, learned its laws and rules. She feels authority, strength, and a desire to deceive. She is, in fact, the future Kabanikha, because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Varvara's friend, Kudryash Ivan, is a match for her. He is the only one in the city of Kalinov who can answer Dikiy. “I’m considered a rude person; why is he holding me? Therefore, he needs me. Well, that means I’m not afraid of him, but let him be afraid of me...” says Kudryash. In conversation, he behaves cheekily, smartly, boldly, boasts of his prowess, red tape, and knowledge of the “merchant establishment.” Kudryash is the second Dikoy, only he is still young.

In the end, Varvara and Kudryash leave the “dark kingdom,” but does this escape mean that they have completely freed themselves from old traditions and laws and will become the source of new laws of life and honest rules? Hardly. Now, having found themselves free, they will most likely try to become masters of life themselves.

Let us now turn to the true victims of the “dark kingdom”. So, Katerina Kabanova’s husband Tikhon is a weak-willed, spineless creature. He obeys his mother in everything and obeys her. He does not have a clear position in life, courage, courage. His image fully corresponds to the name given to him - Tikhon (quiet). Young Kabanov not only does not respect himself, but also allows his mother to shamelessly treat his wife. This is especially evident in the farewell scene before leaving for the fair. Tikhon repeats word for word all his mother’s instructions and moral teachings. Kabanov could not resist his mother in anything, he slowly became an alcoholic and thereby became even more weak-willed and quiet. Of course, Katerina cannot love and respect such a husband, but her soul yearns for love. She falls in love with Dikiy's nephew, Boris. But Katerina fell in love with him, in Dobrolyubov’s apt expression, “in the wilderness,” because in essence, Boris is not much different from Tikhon. Maybe a little more educated. Boris's lack of will, his desire to receive his part of his grandmother's inheritance (and he will receive it only if he is respectful to his uncle) turned out to be stronger than love.

In the dark kingdom, the wanderer Feklusha enjoys great reverence and respect. Feklushi's stories about the lands where people with dog heads live are perceived as irrefutable information about the world.

But not everything is so gloomy; in the “dark kingdom” there are also living, sympathetic souls. This is a self-taught mechanic Kuligin, looking for a perpetual motion machine. He is kind and active, obsessed with a constant desire to do something useful for people. But all his good intentions run into a thick wall of misunderstanding, indifference, and ignorance. So, when he tries to install steel lightning rods on houses, he receives a furious rebuff from the Wild: “A thunderstorm is sent to us as punishment, so that we can feel it, but you want to defend yourself, God forgive me, with poles and some kind of rods.”

Kuligin is the reasoner in the play, condemnation of the “dark kingdom” is put into his mouth: “Cruel, sir, the morals in our city are cruel... Whoever has money, sir, tries to enslave the poor so that he can make even more money from his free labors ..." But Kuligin, like Tikhon, Boris, Varvara, Kudryash, has adapted to the “dark kingdom”, has come to terms with such a life, he is just a body that has taken root in the “dark kingdom”.

The secondary characters, as already mentioned, are the background against which the tragedy of a desperate woman unfolds. Every face in the play, every image was a step in the ladder that led Katerina to the banks of the Volga, to death.
