Who doesn't know what love is?
I. Bunin "Clean Monday".
Man, like no other earthly creature, is lucky to have reason and the ability to choose. A person chooses his whole life. Having taken a step, he is faced with a choice: to the right or to the left - where to go next. He takes another step and chooses again, and so he walks until the end of the path. Some walk faster, others slower, and the result is different: you take a step and either fall into a bottomless abyss, or end up with your foot on an escalator in the sky. A person is free to choose his job, passions, hobbies, thoughts, worldviews, love. Love can be for money, for power, for art, maybe ordinary, earthly love, or it may happen that above all, above all feelings, a person places love for his homeland or for God.
In Bunin's story "Clean Monday" the heroine is nameless. The name is not important, the name is for the earth, and God knows everyone even without a name. Bunin calls the heroine - she. From the very beginning, she was strange, silent, unusual, as if a stranger to the whole world around her, looking through it, “she kept thinking about something, it was as if she was mentally delving into something; lying on the sofa with a book in her hands, she often lowered it and looked in front of her questioningly." She seemed to be from a completely different world, and just so that she would not be recognized in this world, she read, went to the theater, had lunch, dinner, went for walks, and attended courses. But she was always drawn to something lighter, intangible, to faith, to God, and just as the Church of the Savior was close to the windows of her apartment, so God was close to her heart. She often went to churches, visited monasteries and old cemeteries.
And finally she made up her mind. IN last days She drank the cup of worldly life to the bottom, forgave everyone on Forgiveness Sunday and cleansed herself of the ashes of this life on “Clean Monday”: she went to a monastery. “No, I’m not fit to be a wife.” She knew from the very beginning that she could not be a wife. She is destined to be an eternal bride, the bride of Christ. She found her love, she chose her path. You might think that she left home, but in fact she went home. And even her earthly lover forgave her for this. I forgave, although I did not understand. He could not understand that now “she can see in the dark,” and “left the gates” of a strange monastery.

Composition
The theme of love in I. Bunin’s story “Clean Monday”
The theme of love is an eternal theme. Poets and writers of different times turned to it, and each tried to interpret this multifaceted feeling in their own way.
I. A Bunin gives his vision of the topic in the cycle of stories “Dark Alleys”. The collection includes thirty-eight stories, all of them are about love, but none of them creates a feeling of repetition, and after reading all the works in the cycle there is no feeling of exhaustion of the topic.
At the center of the story “Clean Monday” is a mysterious and mysterious love story. Its heroes are a young couple of lovers. Both of them are “rich, healthy, young and so good-looking that in restaurants and at concerts” those around them watched them go. But the inner world of the heroes is not so similar.
The image of the hero is devoid of the psychological depth that the heroine is endowed with. There is no logical motivation in her actions. Every day visiting those establishments where a young lover invites her, she one day notices that she wants to go to the Novodevichy Convent, because “it’s all taverns and taverns.” The hero has no idea where these thoughts come from, what they are for, what suddenly happened to his chosen one. And a little later she declares that there is nothing to be surprised about, that he simply does not know her. It turns out that she often visits the Kremlin cathedrals, and this happens when her lover “doesn’t drag” her to restaurants. There, and not in entertainment venues, she finds a sense of harmony and peace of mind. She loves “Russian chronicles, Russian legends” and her stories about this are full of depth. She says she is not fit to be a wife. Thinking about happiness, quotes Platon Karataev. But the hero still cannot understand what is going on in her soul, he is “indescribably happy with every hour spent near her” and that’s all.
As in the other stories of the “Dark Alleys” series, Bunin does not show in “Clean Monday” love that develops into a state of lasting earthly happiness. Love here also does not end with a happy marriage, and we do not find the image of a woman-mother here. The heroine, having entered into a physically intimate relationship with her beloved, silently leaves, begging him not to ask anything, and then informs him by letter of her departure to the monastery. She rushed for a long time between the momentary and the eternal and, on the night of Clean Monday, surrendering to the hero, she made her final choice. On Clean Monday, the first day of fasting, a person begins to cleanse himself of everything bad. This holiday became a turning point in the relationship between the heroes.
Love in “Clean Monday” is happiness and torment, great secret, an incomprehensible mystery. This story is one of the pearls of Bunin's work, captivating the reader with its rare charm and depth.

He is blinded by his love. Every Saturday he brings flowers to his chosen one, every now and then spoils her with boxes of chocolate, tries to please her with new books he brought, every evening he invites her to a restaurant, then to the theater, or to some party. Completely absorbed in the feeling of adoration, he cannot and does not really try to understand what complex inner world lies behind the beautiful appearance of the one he fell in love with. Repeatedly he thinks about the unusualness and strangeness of their relationship, but never once puts an end to these thoughts. "Odd love!" - he remarks. Another time he says: “Yes, after all, this is not love, not love...”. He is surprised at why she “once and for all stopped talking about their future”; he is surprised at how she perceives his gifts, how she behaves in moments of rapprochement. Everything about her is a mystery to him.

The theme of love in the story

Thus, main topic The story “Clean Monday” is also love, multifaceted, mysterious and mysterious. The story involves only two characters: he and she. Even though their names are hidden, we can see how their relationship develops. The author portrays his heroes as young, beautiful, rich and full of strength, which involuntarily arouses sympathy among the reader. However, external similarities are emphasized by internal differences.
He is a passionate young man, blinded by his love. It does not have the depth that is characteristic of main character. Visiting her every evening, visiting restaurants and concerts with her, he does not even notice how absorbed she is in other values. In his eyes, it’s just her mystery, strangeness and originality. He spends all his time recklessly, since he is quite wealthy and is not forced to think about anything. The only thing that has consumed his thoughts since they met is the uncertainty of the relationship. This love sometimes seems “strange” to him or “not love” at all.
She, in turn, is silent and reserved. There is something strange in her behavior that defies logic. Sometimes she attends some lectures and says that she likes history. He never thought about why she came to Moscow and rented an apartment overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. To him, these are just “fads.” And this is exactly where it lay main secret girls. The heroine was seriously interested in religion, church rituals, admired monasteries, and loved visiting cathedrals. Perhaps that is why she liked Moscow - the city of cathedrals and Kremlin towers. After living there for some time, she became even more convinced of her desire to take monastic vows and enter a monastery.
However, the hero never fully understood what was going on in his beloved’s soul. They spent the night of Clean Monday together, and then she disappeared from his life forever. After some time, he received a letter from Tver, in which she explained her action with love for the church and asked, if possible, not to look for her and try to forget. For young man who sincerely loved and believed in reciprocity, it was ordeal. He tried to get through it by visiting taverns and drinking alcohol. Over time, the pain subsided, but did not leave him. Once it even seemed to him that he saw her among the singing nuns of the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent.
In almost all the stories in the Dark Alleys series, love is doomed. It does not develop into real earthly happiness. So in the story “Clean Monday,” love appears as a great sacrament, an incomprehensible riddle, bringing both happiness and torment. This story is considered one of the best in creativity
