- A.S. Pushkin, simultaneously with the story “The Captain’s Daughter,” wrote “The History of the Pugachev Rebellion,” where he showed the atrocities of Pugachev. Why did he soften the image in the story?
- How do Grinev and the author himself feel about the peasant revolt?
The author had to reckon with censorship. The title of the work is an attempt (and a very successful one!) to veil the political content, the author’s sympathetic attitude towards the rebels and their leader, to present the story as a socio-psychological work, a love story, especially since in the development of the action the image of Masha Mironova, the captain’s daughter, plays a very important role large, including an independent role. And the vigilance of the censorship should have been deceived by such an emphatically peaceful, everyday, apolitical name. And so it happened.
Partially for the same reason (to avoid censorship persecution). It is not the author who talks about Pugachev with great sympathy, but a certain P. A. Grinev, with whom one may not agree, especially since before us is the story of his life, his (Grinev’s), and not the author’s, view of the uprising.
However, the writer puts the characters in situations that allow the reader to independently (of course, with the help of the author!) evaluate their behavior, human qualities, causes and consequences of what is shown. Thus, a short episode of the interrogation of a captured Bashkir, revealing the inhumanity and cruelty of the tsarist servants in suppressing the rebellions, placed before the story of the capture of the Belogorsk fortress by the Pugachevites, explains the reason for the cruelty of the rebels and encourages us to understand them.
This means that both narrators are needed, allowing you to see events and characters from different sides, helping to correctly evaluate what is being told.
The chapter “Duel” depicts a duel between two heroes - Grinev and Shvabrin. The reason for the duel was rude remarks
Shvabrina about Masha. In this chapter, the real reason for Shvabrin’s attitude towards Masha was revealed: he wooed her, but was refused. In this story, all his negative qualities are manifested: deceit, vindictiveness, even meanness, because he wounds Grinev at the moment when Savelich distracted him.
Grinev showed excessive ardor and temper, which can be explained by his youth and the fact that he is truly in love with Marya Ivanovna. In addition, we learned that Grinev is a sensitive person, as he writes poetry in which he expresses his feelings.
Pushkin again showed an ironic attitude towards events, placing lines from Knyazhnin’s comedy as the epigraph to this chapter.
We learned that Shvabrin is a man who achieves his goal through low, even vile, means. He perceived the girl’s refusal as an insult that he could not forgive. He is cunning, even cruel in his behavior.
Grinev also revealed a new side to the readers: he fearlessly defends the honor of Marya Ivanovna. This was the only way to resolve this conflict, because a peaceful path was excluded. In this situation, Pyotr Grinev acted like a real man.
The story was called “The Captain’s Daughter” because all the most bright events The lives of the hero - the narrator Pyotr Grinev - were connected with his love for Masha Mironova - the daughter of a captain who died heroically during the Pugachev uprising.
We offer one of the retelling options, which will include the content of the first chapters.
“Petrusha Grinev reached the age of sixteen and his father decided to send him to the service. At the same time, he is convinced that service should begin not in the capital, but in more difficult conditions, and sends his son to Orenburg.
Along the way, Peter immediately encounters real difficulties. This is the loss of a large sum to Zurin, and a snowstorm in the steppe, and disappointment at the sight of the place of his service - the Belogorsk fortress.”
So all the circumstances of the story lined up before the reader: both its heroes and all the conditions in which events had already begun to unfold.
The storyline that tells about the relationship between Grinev and Pugachev is still less tense and dramatic than the line that connects Grinev and Masha Mironova. It is in this love story we see the most intense and dramatic moments.
Pushkin’s story is historical because it bears all the signs of this genre: genuine historical heroes, it describes specific and actually occurring historical events, in it even fictional characters and circumstances are completely subordinated to the conditions and requirements of the era. The elements of the composition reflect the strength and brightness of real events.
You can write out all the epigraphs of the story, starting with the one that precedes the entire story: “Take care of your honor from a young age.” By writing out (or reading aloud) epigraphs, we are convinced that some chapters are even preceded by two epigraphs. These are Chapter III and V. If you carefully re-read these epigraphs, it will become obvious that they were taken either from works of oral folk art, or from the works of Russian writers of the 18th century. These are works by V. Ya. Knyazhnin (three epigraphs), M. M. Kheraskov (two epigraphs), D. I. Fon-vizin, A. P. Sumarokov.
See the answer to question 4 in Chapter I.
Almost every chapter of the story contains proverbs. You can dwell on the proverb, which is the epigraph of the last XIV chapter. Aphorism “Worldly rumor - sea wave“speaks both of the breadth and inconstancy of the judgments of people around us on any issue. At the same time, to anyone who begins to think about this topic, it is obvious that there is an abundance of various and often contradictory judgments. The author of The Captain's Daughter is an optimist. In the particular case that he described, human rumor did not destroy the hero’s honor. Truth and justice have triumphed, although the epigraph does not say so, and the epigraph does not tell us this.
We can also follow the role of proverbs in the speech of the heroes of the story. For example, they greatly embellish Savelich’s speech and are noticeable in Vasilisa Yegorovna’s lively and vivid speech.
What is most memorable is the verbal portrait of Emelyan Pugachev. The author addresses him more than once and therefore it is worth recreating his portrait, especially since the table in the textbook offers a selection of quotes that paint a portrait of this hero. Let us recall the beginning (Chapter II): “His appearance seemed remarkable to me: he was about forty years old...” Let us pay attention to the fact that Grinev so far sees in him only a counselor-guide, a man who helped him get out of the confusion blizzard In Chapter VII, Grinev faces a formidable rebel. Both on horseback and in a chair on the porch of the commandant’s house, this is not a leader, but a leader, the leader of the uprising. Both in this chapter and in Chapters VIII, XI again and again Pushkin notes the details of Pugachev’s portrait. And among them the main one is his sparkling eyes, his tense pose, full of readiness for action.
It is worth using historical portraits of Pugachev in this story, especially the one that was drawn on the half-washed portrait of Catherine II.
One portrait will be a repetition of the one in the answer to question 7. The second portrait is a description of the villain, whom the devoted servant Savelich is afraid of, does not love, and from whom he expects all sorts of trouble. He does not consider the details, does not evaluate his impressions, but unconditionally condemns this person. However, we note that it was he, and not Petrusha Grinev, who immediately identified the man who saved them as the formidable leader of the uprising (“Have you forgotten that drunkard who lured your sheepskin coat from you at the inn?”). For Savelich, Pugachev is a drunkard, a villain, an ataman, a bro.
In the 18th century, only the person whom the people considered “God’s anointed,” a person whose family had a divinely sanctified right to power, could lay claim to seizing power. Therefore, everyone who raised their hand to power presented themselves as miraculously saved rulers. Not so long ago, the husband of Catherine II died - Peter III. It was Pugachev who applied for his place.
Pugachev’s associates spoke about this. A conversation on this topic took place between Grinev and the impostor on the way to the Belogorsk fortress (Chapter XI).
The story more than once says that Pugachev is a simple Cossack. It is especially funny that this ruler, having received a list of things that his robbers had plundered from the old serf Savelich, could not read it. He got out of the situation by forcing the constable to read this list, but the situation itself is quite funny: a king who cannot read what his slave wrote.
In the story “The Captain's Daughter” the reader is confronted with an impostor who took advantage of the situation that had arisen in those parts. The author's attitude towards rebellion as a senseless and merciless phenomenon is clearly visible. However, Pushkin was able to discern those qualities that made Pugachev a people's leader: his intelligence, insight, courage, determination, resourcefulness, rapidity of reaction and almost animal instinct (remember how he led a wagon through a whirling snowstorm), the ability to lead people , using their advantages and disadvantages, and even a clear idea of everything that awaits him as a result of the suppression of the uprising. As a result, all these qualities create a bright and significant figure.
Probably, even his ignorance helped him to be recognized as a leader, which created an atmosphere of mutual trust with a certain part of his associates.
To do this, you can use the portrait of Khlopushi. See the answer to question 2, questions and assignments for Chapter XI.
There are few descriptions of nature in the story and they are all closely connected with the fate of the heroes, with the events of their lives. You can also see certain symbolism in them. Thus, the description of a snowstorm in the steppe precedes the development of the plot of the story, which tells about the storm of a popular uprising. You can describe the landscape against which Masha Mironova’s meeting with Catherine II takes place. It is believed that both the portrait of the empress and its framing in the story are similar to the sentimental image of Catherine in the painting by V. L. Borovikovsky.
Comparison of the two folk songs It is interesting precisely because of the opposite attitude towards sovereigns. The “gift” that the robber receives from the tsar in the song “Pra-Vezh” is fair, but in Pugachev’s favorite song the tsar rewards the robber in a different way - “with two pillars and a crossbar.” The choice of this song by Pugachev himself speaks of the impostor’s understanding of his future fate.
The time of Pugachev's uprising was clearly defined by historians and then reproduced by Pushkin in two of his works: a story and a historical work. Both “The History of Pugachev” and “The Captain’s Daughter” depict the peasant war of 1773-1775. The causes of popular uprisings are always similar to each other: it is an increase in the difficulties of the life of the people, which are caused by wars, crop failures, and other disasters. Pushkin introduces the reader to the events of the 18th century.
The time of creation of the story and historical work can be characterized by referring to the pages of Pushkin’s life. The theme of the ruler and the people also sounds in his “ Bronze Horseman"(1833) and in the lyrics of those years. In August 1833, Pushkin went to the places where Pugachev acted, recording stories and songs about him. In 1833, the historical work “The History of Pugachev” was created, and in 1833-1836 work in progress over "The Captain's Daughter". The theme of a popular uprising was also heard in parallel in the unfinished story “Dubrovsky” (1832-1833).
But the most difficult thing is to create a story about the time when the story is read. It is necessary to talk about what resonates in it with today and therefore arouses lasting interest today. So you need to think about what events are typical for the year in which you are answering the question.
In “Dubrovsky,” the rebellious peasants are led by the impoverished landowner Dubrovsky, whose personal grudge against the landowner Troekurov was the impetus for the robbery. The participants in the rebellion were Dubrovsky’s peasants, who did not want to move from the “good” landowner to the “evil” one. The revolt is local in nature. In The Captain's Daughter, the leader of the rebellion is Pugachev, a native of the people. The causes of the peasant war are of a social nature - the oppression of peasants, factory workers, and foreigners. The fight is gaining folk character. Its goal is to install a “good” king instead of the oppressor queen.
The epigraph “Take care of your honor from a young age,” which prefaces the entire story “The Captain’s Daughter,” reveals the main meaning of Grinev’s life story - to preserve the honor and dignity of a Russian nobleman in any twists of fate.
The connection with oral folk art is manifested in epigraphs, some of which are proverbs or sayings, others are lines from soldiers’ and recruit’s folk songs. The folk poetic basis is visible in the speech of the characters (Pugachev’s conversation with the owner of the inn, all sprinkled with sayings and allegories), in the use of A.S. Pushkin folk songs, stylized as a fairy tale, the parable of the raven and the eagle, etc.
Artistic creativity has different principles than historical research. Departing somewhat from historical specifics, the writer creates a full-blooded, ambiguous character of Pugachev, which differs from the official one-line image of the villain-murderer.
