The problem of rank and corruption: examples of their literature and arguments (Unified State Examination in Russian). Arguments for essay (Unified State Exam in Russian) Remorse of a deceiver
Here we have selected for you popular problems regarding lying from texts for preparing for the Unified State Exam in the Russian language. The arguments revealing them are selected from Russian literature. You can download all this in table format at the end of the article or read them directly on this page with convenient navigation on problematic issues.
- One of the central themes in Gorky's play "At the Depths" is the problem of white lies. Thus, Luke and Satin represent two opposing points of view: to tell the truth, despite mental torment, or to lie, but with intent, implying compassion for “your neighbor.” The preacher consoled the inhabitants of the shelter and gave them hope, even if it was not supported by real reasons. But the sharper spoke out against such false healing; he told the truth head-on, without thinking about how his interlocutor would accept it. In his opinion, a real person must live with open eyes, without illusions. Since Luke capitulated with his philosophy and left those who believed him to their fate, we conclude that the author is on the side of Satin, that is, a lie cannot be justified by good.
- Sometimes in life there are situations that require lying to save yourself or a loved one. A.S. Pushkin in the novel “The Captain's Daughter” contrasts ordinary deception with the “white lie” that helped Masha Grineva escape from Emelyan Pugachev. If not for the cunning move of Pyotr Grinev, the innocent girl could have been executed. Each of us must distinguish between cases when to bend our hearts means saving a person from terrible misfortune. Then we can go against the truth. But in other situations, when personal gain is involved, this trick is immoral and borders on a moral crime.
- Comedy A.S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit" also contains the theme of pretense and deception. The main character assumes the presence of lies, but only in cases where it is necessary to save true love. So, for example, Sophia deceives Famusov in order to secretly meet with his secretary. Her intentions are pure, but with this crookedness the girl approaches the hypocritical way of life of that society, whose morals are far from ideal. Her feeling turns out to be an exposed illusion, her knight turns out to be an ordinary swindler, and her lie turns out to be the first step into the secular world of falsehood and deception. So even a “white lie” does not lead to good, because a person cannot always figure out what is good.
False values
- False values are a boat without a life preserver. Victims of circumstances suffer because they did not realize their own mistake in time. Sofia Pavlovna - the main character Comedy A.S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit"- is a “hostage” of his own beliefs. So, Sophia’s ideal is the modest Molchalin, while Chatsky, who loves her all his life, is a person “not her type.” The collapse of her hopes for a future together with her father’s secretary collapses after she learns that Molchalin’s feelings are not reciprocated. This becomes a real tragedy, which Sophia cannot cope with due to her shock. Alas, her values turned out to be extracts from vulgar novels, and not real truths that guide a person.
- Often, false values can play a cruel joke on the entire society. For example, in N. Gogol's comedy "The Inspector General" people are accustomed to building their own future on greed, hypocrisy and self-interest. They were engaged in embezzlement for many years. Their desire to appear before the auditor in the role of respectable managers is an opportunity to save their place, but, having given their savings to the impostor, they found themselves captive to their own values. Because of them, they found themselves in a comical situation, which turned out to be a complete failure for them.
- A.S. Pushkin in the novel "The Captain's Daughter" contrasts morality and ethics with false values. For example, Pyotr Grinev did not tarnish his honor even when he was threatened with execution. The same cannot be said about Shvabrin, who went over his head for personal wealth - this suggests that false values kill in a person everything that connects him with people. Alexey followed the path of selfishness and reached the collapse of his desires and hopes, because society turned its back on him.
- The same person can contain both virtue and commercialism, but what exactly prevails in him? F tried to answer this question. Dostoevsky in the novel “Crime and Punishment”, where Pyotr Luzhin simply plays the role of a “decent person,” when in fact he is “low and disgusting.” His desire to woo Duna is explained not by “love”, but by the desire to have a pliable wife who will revere his every word. However, he strenuously pretends that this is not so. The hypocrisy and meanness in his behavior, fortunately, were noticed before Dunya's fatal mistake, so Peter was expelled in disgrace.
- In A. Chekhov's story “Tears of a Crocodile” we can see both hypocrisy and duplicity. The main character, Polycarp Judas, “suffers” from the injustice of the lives of poor people, while he himself rips them off to the last thread. “Crocodile tears” is a common expression that signifies the grief of an insincere person such as Judah. His behavior cannot be justified in any way.
- An outwardly wealthy person from a material point of view may not be the same “wealthy” in his soul. This is what he says L. Tolstoy in the novel “War and Peace”, where Prince Vasily does everything based on his own benefit. Even coming to Anna Pavlovna did not mean “secular politeness”, but the possibility of settling their children. He deceives Pierre, almost robs him, miraculously not having time to intercept the will of the old count. But in words the hero is always exquisitely courteous and kind, he has a high position and a good reputation.
- The problem of remorse for telling a lie is clearly visible in the story by V. Astafiev “The Horse with a Pink Mane”. The main character, the boy Vitya, must collect a basket of berries to get the coveted gingerbread, but the guys persuade him to collect grass and put berries on top. The boy is tormented by his conscience for a long time, and he decides to confess to a deliberate lie - this suggests that Vitya is capable of admitting his own mistake, and this is an undoubted step towards the “highest moral ideal.”
- A similar example can be seen on the pages V. Bykov's story "Sotnikov". Throughout the story, the author introduces us to several characters, and one of them recalls the incident with his father’s Mauser, from which he fired. Having admitted the mistake, he still feels remorse for the lie, which was that his mother pushed him to the “truth”, and not his desire.
- A similar example can be found on the pages of the novel M.Yu. Lermontov "Hero of Our Time", where Grushnitsky’s slander against Princess Mary for the sake of revenge on Pechorin dissolves in justice. Deciding to switch the duelist's weapon, the dishonest man becomes exposed. Gregory realized that his friend wanted to win the battle by deception. Then the inactive weapon goes to the deceiver himself. Grushnitsky dies, and Pechorin draws disappointing conclusions.
- In A. Ostrovsky's play "Dowry" the main character wants to deceive herself by marrying an unloved person. She becomes his bride, mechanically preparing for an unwanted wedding. However, at the engagement dinner, she is again overcome by an attraction to Paratov, who invites Larisa to the Swallow. She abandons her obligations and sets sail to her death. The next morning, the insulted groom killed her, and she could only thank him for this, because she was disgraced and abandoned to the mercy of fate. Alas, it is impossible to build happiness on lies. Interesting? Save it on your wall!
The Problem of Hypocrisy
Remorse of a deceiver
Consequences of lying
The problem of veneration has always been relevant. Nowadays, it not only maintains its position, but is also growing with renewed vigor. Along with it, other similar problems develop, such as servility and corruption. To overcome these troubles, we need to work in different directions. But, first of all, it is necessary for the state itself to deal with the issue.
Worship of rank is very accurately described in literature. It is enough just to give two qualitative examples. The first work is “Woe from Wit”. The main character Chatsky is a hermit because he cannot come to terms with the rotten state of society. He is ready to serve, but not to be served. It depresses him that people fawn over their superiors.
The second work is “Thick and Thin”.
Here Chekhov described a meeting between two good friends who had not seen each other for a long time. They were glad for the unexpected collision. But as soon as Thin learned about Tolstoy’s high position, he began to fawn, bow, and flatter. This attitude has greatly spoiled society.
Of course, you should always respect those above you. But you can’t kneel down and forget about your personality.

Arguments from literature.
MORAL ISSUES
The problem of subservience to dignitaries,veneration .
1. “Woe from Wit” by A.S. Griboyedov
Molchalin’s credo is to please everyone. the goal is “to achieve known degrees.” He serves, seeks the patronage of dignitaries. Maxim Petrovich “knew honor before everyone” thanks to servility and sycophancy.
Chatsky is brave, noble, decisive. He is independent: he does not recognize any ranks or authorities. He values the personal merits and dignity of people, protects the right of every person to have his own beliefs.
2 . "Thick and Thin" by Chekhov.
3. “Chameleon” by Chekhov
He laughs at respect for rank, at the guardian of order’s fear of his superiors, even if they deserve censure for something. This fear forces him to endlessly change his point of view and line of behavior, which causes the author's irony.
Problemmercy (loss of mercy),humane relationships to each other.
1. “The Captain's Daughter” by A.S. Pushkin.
Pugachev was cold, Grinev warmed him up. Not so much warmed as touched by human touch. In his eyes it was a gesture of mercy. The hare sheepskin coat becomes a symbol of Christian charity, human relations towards each other. And in turn, Pugachev demonstrates humanity and the ability to be generous. Pugachev pays mercy for mercy. Debt good turn deserves another. The hare sheepskin coat becomes a symbol of Christ's mercy, humane attitude towards each other.
Mercy, which binds a variety of people in our world, is a universal human feeling, thanks to which we remain human even in the most difficult moments.
2. “The Wonderful Doctor” by A. Kuprin.
3. Gorky. Not a day (Luke)
4. Crime and punishment.
D.’s “poor people” do not evoke any emotions other than deep compassion and sympathy for their fate.
Motivated only by love for her loved ones, only by the desire to save them from starvation, Sonechka Marmeladova is forced to sell her body. In this choice of hers, according to the author, there is no sin, since it is justified by a humane goal.
“Cordiality is the same gift as beauty and intelligence”
The problem of spiritualdegradation
1. Chekhov's stories: “Ionych”, “Gooseberry”
In the story “Ionych” the author also explores the process of man’s spiritual fall. The hero of Chekhov's story "Ionych" Startsev lost all the best that was in him, exchanged living thoughts for a well-fed, self-satisfied existence. Where is the power that should have helped Startsev preserve his youthful ideals? It lies in the spirituality and character of a person. And he had such power, but he lost it, sacrificing his principles, and ultimately lost himself.
But Raskolnikov managed to be spiritually reborn. By this Dostoevsky expresses the hope that a person can be saved from moral destruction.
"Dead Souls" by Gogol.
By portraying Plyushkin, the author shows what a person can turn into. The feeling of death is present, it seems, in the atmosphere itself. His frugality borders on madness. His soul is so dead that he has no feelings left. “A person could condescend to such insignificance, pettiness, and disgustingness! - exclamation. Author.
3. V. Rasputin. Live and remember
The problem of spiritual and moralcleanliness
1. Dostoevsky. Crime and Punishment
High moral qualities are not given to a person from birth, but can be cultivated in him. It is very important to have before oneself an appropriate ideal with which a person could compare himself in search of truth.
Sonya Marmeladova appears as an example of spiritual and moral purity in the novel. Earning money in a “low” way, she does it solely for the sake of saving her neighbors. Without her help, they would have faced starvation. Enormous, selfless love for her father, readiness for self-sacrifice and compassion - this is what morally elevates Sonya.
Problem of good And evil .
Goethe. Faust
Master and Margarita
The depiction of world evil in the guise of the Devil, Satan is traditional for fiction. in Bulgakov's novel, Woland evokes involuntary sympathy. If he punishes someone, it is completely deserved, and he does not commit evil at all.
In my opinion, good and evil exist within man himself. Everyone is free to choose between them. Woland tests people by giving them a choice (a session of black magic). B. Punishes those who have a bad conscience and who do not want to admit their guilt. He exposes and punishes various manifestations of evil, existing vices, and corrects corrupt morals.
The confrontation between good and evil is an eternal theme.
“A handful of good deeds is worth more than a barrel of knowledge.”
“Every good deed has its own reward.”
“Good is the only garment that never wears out.”
The problem of family (The role of family in the formation of personality)
In familyRostov everything was built on sincerity and kindness, that’s why the children are Natasha. Nikolai and Petya became truly good people, and in the familyKuraginykh, where career and money decided everything, both Helen and Anatole are immoral egoists.
Problemmoral revival person
1. "Pre" offense and punishment."
Following his idea, the hero crosses the line and becomes a murderer. R.'s spiritual rebirth, which began at the end of the novel, expresses D.'s hope for the possibility of saving a person from moral death. The author sees love for one's neighbor as the highest form of humanism and at the same time the path to salvation.

Problemcruelty .
1. Gorky Larra.
The problem of relationships between teenagers is especially relevant in our time. We often ask ourselves: why are today's teenagers so cruel to some of their peers? And this is not only physical cruelty, but also mental cruelty. There are many examples proving this: they write about it in newspapers and show it on TV. This is what the text is about...
See problem (126). As punishment for his harshness and pride, L. is deprived of his human destiny: he does not die, but is doomed to forever hover above the earth as an ethereal cloud. He doesn't even succeed in trying to kill himself. All that remains of L. is the shadow and name of the outcast.
Probleminferiority complex.
This problem is as eternal as the world. Probably 90% of all people have experienced or are experiencing an inferiority complex to some extent. But for some it becomes a driving force on the path to perfection, and for others it becomes a source of constant depression.
What is this – an inferiority complex? Perpetual brake or perpetual motion machine? Curse or grace?
“War and Peace” (Marya Bolkonskaya)
Problemmoral choice (How to be? What to be? How to preserve the human in yourself?)
A person is born with free will, the ability to choose between good and evil, between living according to conscience or opportunism, between service to a cause or service to individuals, his free will is to give preference to spiritual concerns or carnal ones. But this freely made moral choice determines the entire future life of a person: this is what people mean when they say that a person is the master of his destiny. Artists from different countries and times paid great attention to the theme of moral choice.
1. V. Bykov. Sotnikov
These are very difficult questions...
Finding themselves in a situation of choice, people behave differently: some commit betrayal in exchange for their miserable life, others show perseverance and courage, preferring to die with a clear conscience. The story contrasts two partisans - Rybak and Sotnikov.
During interrogation, afraid of torture, Rybak answered the truth, i.e. issued a detachment. He not only agreed to serve in the police, but even helped hang Sotnikov in order to confirm to his enemies his willingness to serve them. The fisherman chose the path to save his life, while Sotnikov did everything to save others.
2. V. Rasputin. Live and remember.
3. Life and work of Bulgakov.
PontiusPilate feels that Yeshua ha-Nozri haswith enormous spiritual strength, and am humanly grateful to him for getting rid of a painful headache. On top of everything, having understood his case, the procurator is convinced of his innocence. But at the decisive moment, when he was faced with the problem of choice, he could not act according to his conscience and, in order to preserve his own power, sacrificed the life of Yeshua.

White Bim Black Ear. “You are forever responsible for everyone you have tamed.”Ivan Ivanovich, despite his good attitude towards Bim, despite his excellent qualities - such as kindness, mercy, compassion, sensitivity - did not do everything he could for his friend and thereby marked the beginning of the tragedy of the devoted, trusting, loving and tamed them creatures. Kind, compassionate, sensitive Ivan Ivanovich, who knew that sooner or later he would have to lie on the operating table to remove the bullet, and who knew that during his absence Bim would be left alone, did not worry in advance about the fate of the dog he had tamed.We are forever responsible for those we have tamed - responsible for any living creature that has become attached to you.
Take care of these lands, these waters,

Compassion for animals is so closely related to kindness. Character that we can confidently say that someone who is cruel to animals cannot be kind.

1. "Farewell to Matera" V. Rasputina (Andrey, Daria’s grandson) is going to the construction of a hydroelectric power station, which will eventually flood Matera. “It’s a pity for Matera, and I feel a pity too, she’s dear to us... All the same, we would have to rebuild, move on to a new life... Don’t you understand? .. Not everyone stayed here... The young ones cannot be stopped. That's why they are young.

What is true friendship?
Friendship between Pushkin and Pushchin.
The problem of friendship and betrayal worries people in any era. And in the history of mankind we come across many examples of both great selfless friendship and terrible betrayal. These are eternal questions, eternal themes that will always be reflected in modern literature.
I.I. Pushchin occupies a very special place among P.’s friends. It was to him that the poet, more willingly than others, confided all the doubts and anxieties of his young heart during the lyceum. It was Pushchin who first visited P. in exile. Years later, now P. sends his message to Pushchin, exiled to Siberia: “My first friend,...”
Friendship carried through the years becomes the moral guideline to which everyone involuntarily strives, who has at least once thought about the meaning of friendship in a person’s life.
Film "Officers"
Problemfeelings of duty to a loved one (spiritual nobility)
Pushkin. Eugene Onegin.
T. Still loves Onegin and is confident in his love, but she resolutely refuses possible happiness. She is characterized by high spiritual nobility. She cannot break a promise she made to another person, even an unloved one. The subordination of all one’s actions to a sense of duty and the inability to deceive form the basis of T.’s philosophy.
Wives of the Decembrists, who voluntarily followed their husbands into exile, to a life full of hardships and suffering. Among them were those who walked not only out of love for their husband, but out of consciousness of their duty, their responsibility towards a loved one.
Problemselfless and selfless love.
See problem (124) Love is unselfish, selfless, not waiting for reward... The one about which it is said “strong as death”... the kind of love for which you can perform any feat, give your life, go to torment... Isn’t this Zheltkov’s love?
Problemspirituality/lack of spirituality.
Bitter. Old woman Izergil (Larra).
This character is the embodiment of lack of spirituality. He uncontrollably sows death and opposes himself to life. He strives to achieve his goal at any cost, drags out an existence devoid of past and future. He only considers himself perfect, but destroys those he doesn’t like.
Ostrovsky. Storm.
Problem conscience
1. "Thunderstorm"
2. Dostoevsky. Crime and Punishment.
The writer poses to us the question of the need to live in harmony with our conscience and the interests of other people. The crushing collapse of theory R, which does not contain a moral principle and does not take into account the highest values of the world - human life and freedom - confirms the rightness of the writer. Raskolnikov's torment of conscience, his emotional experiences due to the sin he committed, became a kind of moral guideline. The writer convincingly shows what would have happened to the hero if he had not gone through repentance. Torment of conscience, emotional distress due to the sin committed became moral punishment for R.
3. “The Master and Margarita.”
“Do not think that if you have done something bad, you can hide, because if you hide from others, you cannot hide from your conscience.”
Conscience is not an executioner, but a person’s eternal companion, showing him the path to the truth, serving as a true moral guide.
Fear for his life and career does not allow Pontius Pilate to pardon a man who denies the authority of Caesar. However, when announcing the verdict, Pilate understands that he is pronouncing it on himself.The hero's judge is his conscience.

Problemkindness (what does it mean to be a kind person?)
Pierre Bezukhov.
“In the inner world of a person, kindness is the sun,” said V. Hugo. In fact, it is unlikely that anything else can compare in terms of impact with this quality. Everyone is drawn to a kind person, basking in his warmth and attention, and then they themselves become a source of bright spiritual energy. This was also noticed by the writer... who, using an example from life, makes us think seriously about the problem...
Oblomov
“A big heart, like the ocean, does not freeze.”
“A good person is not one who knows how to do good, but one who does not know how to do evil.”
“Of all the virtues and virtues of the soul, the greatest virtue is kindness.”
“Kindness is a quality, the excess of which does not harm.”

LANGUAGE, CULTURE
The problem of careless attitude towards Russianculture , native language. (loss of language culture)
1. "Woe from Wit" (admiration for the West, careless attitude towards Russian culture, native language, slavish imitation of foreigners - aren’t these problems of modern Russian society?). almost 2 centuries ago they worried the great citizen of Russia A.S.grib. Now time puts them before us. Chatsky advocates for the preservation of the Russian spirit and morals. He speaks out in defense of “holy antiquity.”
Our society, which in many ways has not yet come to the norms of community life, has already felt the need for a culture of behavior and communication. In lyceums, colleges, gymnasiums, schools, electives with the names “Etiquette”, “Business Etiquette”, “Diplomatic Etiquette”, “Etiquette of Business Communication”, “Culture of Speech Communication”, etc. are opened. This is due to the need of people to know how to behave in a given situation, how to correctly establish and maintain speech, and through it business, friendly, etc. contact.
The problem of corruption and impoverishment of the Russianlanguage (caring attitude).
Problemdevelopment and preservation of Russianlanguage
Conclusion :
1) What is the Motherland? This is the whole people. This is his culture, his language. Each nation has its own, different from others, recognizable. What makes the Russian language different? Of course, its extraordinary imagery and majesty. No wonder A.N. Tolstoy compared the Russian language. in brightness with a rainbow after a spring shower, in accuracy - with arrows, in sincerity - with a song over the cradle. But, unfortunately, sometimes we spoil it and don’t take care of it. Many people forget that Russian is the language. – great and powerful, using profanity, belittling the status of the Russian language. Everyone’s job is to preserve it.See (7)
N. Gal “The Living and the Dead Word.” The famous translator discusses the role of the spoken word, which can hurt a person’s soul with its thoughtlessness; about borrowings that distort our speech; about bureaucracy that kills living speech;
about caring for our great heritage - the Russian language.
Problemabuse foreign words.
Conclusion:
1) Our modern life is a cycle of affairs, meetings, problems, experiences. We don't have time to stop and think about what is happening to our language now. We must not forget that we ourselves are spoiling it. This problem affects...(see problem (3)
2) We have no power over the speech of others, but we can be more attentive to what we ourselves say, we can think about whether we are polluting our language. And if we watch our speech, do not utter rude and dirty words, and respect our interlocutor, we will help cleanse our language.
3) To conclude my essay, I would like to quote the words of N. Rylenkov:
The language of the people is both rich and precise,
But there are, alas, inaccurate words,
They grow like weeds
On poorly plowed roadsides.
So let's do everything to ensure that there is as little weed as possible.
(see below)
The problem of the meaningless, artificialmixing languages
The compiler of the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” V. Dal wrote: “We do not anathematize all foreign words from the Russian language, we stand more for the Russian language and expression, but why insert into every line: moral, original, nature, artist, grotto, press, garland, pedestal and hundreds of similar ones, when without the slightest stretch you can say the same thing in Russian? Is moral, genuine, nature, artist, cave worse? Not at all, but it’s a bad habit to go to French for Russian words. and the German dictionary does a lot of evil.” (see above)
Environmental problemculture
Preserving the cultural environment is a task as important as preserving the surrounding nature. Failure to comply with the laws of biological ecology kills a person biologically, but non-compliance with the laws of cultural ecology can kill a person morally. “By working only for material benefits, we build our own prison. And we lock ourselves in alone, and all our riches are dust and ashes, they are powerless to give us something worth living for” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry).
Language is part of the national culture, a cultural monument. And as a cultural monument it needs protection and preservation. Turn on the TV: tongue-tiedness and lack of internal culture. Cool words and expressions that are not included in Ushakov’s dictionary, but rather correspond to criminal music, are heard everywhere. Backbiting and even profanity have become almost the norm in television series.
The problem of anxiety about leaving with20th century culture
Problemcultural person (what qualities form the concept of “cultured person”?)
What is the true culture of man? I think that this is one of the most difficult questions that Shakespeare wrote about in his sonnets. In our view, a cult person is an educated person, with good manners and taste, competent speech... But even behind external silence and inconspicuousness a truly cult person can be hidden. This is exactly what he writes about...
Who among us has not encountered people who, behind external gloss, behind ostentatious erudition, behind superficial knowledge, hide inner lack of culture and ignorance? The unreliability of such people is alarming. Not like that...

A person will always lack something for complete happiness. Life is especially difficult in the modern world, when from the pages

Is it possible to feel happy from the most earthly joys? And it depends on the person himself! Some people don’t even notice primroses, some have forgotten the last time they threw their heads back into the starry sky, and there are those who see the reflection of the sky in a tiny forget-me-not flower, in a floating cloud - a small boat in the boundless sea, hear in the sound of drops music of spring. In my opinion, you need to enjoy every day you live, be friendly, not hold grudges in your soul and just love life!

Problemfreedom as the highest value
1. M. Gorky. Makar Chudra.
In his romantic productions. D. Raises the problem of freedom as the highest value. However, the desire for it often contradicts other human values, and people are forced to decide what is more valuable to them. Loiko and Rada’s thirst for personal freedom is so strong that they even look at their own feelings as a chain that fetters their independence. Loiko kills Radda and then himself. Death gives them liberation from the choice between love and freedom.
In his works, G. admires a free person, believing in his inner strength and courage.

Imbued with respect and interest for the “wandering philosopher,” sensing a truth unknown to him in his words, Pilate decides to save Yeshua Ha-Nozri from death. But his worst vice - cowardice - forces him to change his mind. Fear for his life and career does not allow the procurator to pardon a person who denies the authority of Caesar. Now, sitting in his chair, Pilate, more than anything else in the world, hated his immortality and unheard-of glory, which turned out to be an eternal reminder for him of a moral crime, of betrayal. There is no excuse for him.
V. Bykov. Sotnikov.
"Crime and Punishment".
The problems raised by the writer in the novel are still relevant today. The loss of spiritual generosity, compassion, and a sense of responsibility for one’s thoughts and actions can lead to spiritual emptiness, discord with oneself, and loss of spirituality - the basis of human existence.
Relationship problemperson and fate.
"Hero of our time".
Man controls fate or fate controls peoplea sheep? Who is the person – the victim, the darling or the master of circumstances? In Lermontov's depiction, man and fate are inseparable.
Throughout the entire novel we see how Pechorin argues with fate and how fruitless his efforts are. While suffering himself, he causes suffering to others because he persists in his selfishness.
The problem of meaning human existence
1. “Hero of our time.”
Pechorin, being in constant tossing and not finding his place in life, cannot be happy.

5. L. Tolstoy. War and Peace
In the noble family of the Kuragins, the purpose of existence is idle pastime and easy money. It is not surprising that vulgarity, evil, hypocrisy, and lies reign in their home. But in the Rostov family, the author notes love, simplicity of relationships, respect for each other, for other people.

What is a sense of life? How many copies have been broken on this issue! What sense can we talk about if labor is not put at the forefront. Everyday, everyday, honest work. Take away a person’s opportunity to work, and all the blessings of life will lose meaning.
Only when a person does not do anything good in his life, does not perform a good deed, does he die. The most real, most terrible disease. A person who has not beautified the earth with his labor goes into oblivion forever, because after him there is nothing left that would live in the deeds and memory of descendants

The story is about the unpredictable consequences of scientific discoveries, about the fact that a premature experiment with inadequate human consciousness is dangerous.
Are universal human concepts of morality applicable to the work of a doctor, the work of a physician or a biologist? Do those involved in human cloning think about this? What is it, medical debt?
Unfortunately, no invention or discovery belongs entirely to its author: having created or discovered something new, a scientist often lets the genie out of the bottle and can no longer manage the consequences of his scientific experience alone - there are too many users around, and their interests are not always commensurate with morality .
In a word, when starting this or that experiment, a scientist or doctor must calculate its consequences many moves ahead, which is a difficult but always relevant task.

Good is the truth of Yeshua. He is sure that “there are no evil people in the world.” He preaches his truth to everyone, incl. and the procurator. Jesus in the Bible is the son of God. Yeshua in the novel is a man, he is weak. But he is also strong in his faith in goodness. His reward was immortality. It also became a punishment for Pilate.
For Yeshua the truth isthat no one can control his life: “...agree to cut a hair,” onon which life hangs, “probably only the one who hung it can.” ForYeshua is the truth andthat “there are no evil people onlight." ANDif he talked toRat slayer, he would have changed dramatically. It is significant that Yeshua speaks ofthis is "dreamy". HeI am ready to move towards this truth with the help of conviction and words.This is his life's work.
N.V. Gogol comedy "The Inspector General". In this comedy, N.V. Gogol introduces us to the world of city officials. The writer exposes bribery, embezzlement, sycophancy, and strict adherence to bureaucratic subordination. All officials talk to Khlestakov obsequiously, with trepidation. They know that everyone takes bribes, so they immediately begin to think about how to bribe the auditor. It is characteristic that the merchants, who are in the play under the bureaucratic world, come to Khlestakov with “a body of wine and sugar loaves.” Officialdom is portrayed grotesquely in the play. So, the mayor’s tyranny is limitless. He embezzles the money allocated for the construction of the church and subjects the non-commissioned officer to the rod. The trustee of charitable institutions believes that an ordinary person “if he dies, then he will die anyway, if he gets well, then he will get well,” and instead of the required oatmeal soup, he gives the sick only cabbage. The judge, confident that in his papers “Solomon himself will not decide what is true and what is not true,” turns the judicial institution into his own fiefdom. Dr. Gibner is unable to communicate with his patients due to his complete ignorance of the Russian language. The ending of this disorder, according to the writer, is natural - the imaginary auditor leaves, but the real auditor arrives, who will be able to punish the guilty.
- M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin - “The History of a City.” This work is a bold and evil satire on the administrative arbitrariness that reigned in Russia. The writer creates grotesque images of mayors replacing each other in the city of Foolov. Each of them has its own characteristic feature, something different from the others. So, Intercept-Zalikhvatsky rode into the city on a white horse, “burned the gymnasiums and abolished the sciences.” Another mayor, Brudasty, instead of a head had a vessel with an organ that issued only two phrases: “I will not tolerate it!” and “I’ll ruin you!” Major Pimple had a stuffed head. Thus, Shchedrin’s city of Glupov is a grotesque image of all of Russia.
- A.P. Chekhov's story "Thick and Thin". In this story, the author raises the problem of bureaucratic subordination and veneration of rank. Its plot is simple. Two old friends meet, at first they are very happy with each other, communicate easily, but then the “subtle” one learns that his old friend occupies an important government post. And all the simplicity of communication is immediately replaced by compliance with bureaucratic subordination. The “thin” one begins to talk to the “fat” one obsequiously, ingratiating himself with him. The second hero maintains equanimity and good nature throughout the entire story. Thus, the writer here speaks out against the slave psychology of man, which leads to veneration, flattery and servility.
- V.V. Mayakovsky - poem “The Sitting Ones”.
In this poem, the poet raises the problem of bureaucracy. We see employees reporting for duty at institutions and a pile of papers, from which “about fifty” are selected for the next meeting. Moreover, these meetings follow one after another, their topics are absurd: the theater department meets with the main department for horse breeding, the purpose of another meeting is to resolve the issue of “purchasing a bottle of ink by the Gubkooperative.” The lyrical hero, vainly seeking an audience with officials, is sincerely outraged. He breaks into one of the meetings and sees “half the people.” The hero’s mind “went crazy” from this terrible picture. The secretary calmly explains that the officials are “at two meetings at once.” This is how the phraseological unit unfolds in the plot of Mayakovsky’s poem: “I can’t be torn in two.” Mayakovsky's realistic, life situation merges with hyperbole, fantasy, and grotesque.
