What makes Judas Golovlev an "eternal type"? What makes Judas Golovlev an “eternal type”? What will we do with the received material.

Type of idle talk (Iudushka Golovlev) - artistic discovery M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin. Prior to this, in Russian literature, in Gogol, Dostoevsky, there were images that vaguely resemble Judas, but these are only slight hints. Neither before nor after Saltykov-Shchedrin, no one was able to portray the image of a windbag with such force and accusatory clarity. Judas Golovlev is a one-of-a-kind type, an ingenious find of the author.
Saltykov-Shchedrin, creating his novel, set himself the task of showing the mechanism of family destruction. The heart of this process was

Without a doubt, Porphys the Blood Drinker. It goes without saying that the author paid special attention to the development of this particular image, which is interesting, among other things, because it is constantly changing, right up to the last pages, and the reader can never be sure how exactly it will turn out. this image in the next chapter. We observe the portrait of Judas “in dynamics”. Seeing for the first time an unsympathetic “outspoken child”, sucking up to his mother, eavesdropping, tinkering, the reader can hardly imagine that disgusting, shuddering creature that commits suicide at the end of the book. The image changes beyond recognition. Only the name remains unchanged. Just as Porfiry becomes Judas from the first pages of the novel, so Judas dies. There is something surprisingly petty about this name, which so accurately expresses the inner essence of this character.
One of the main features of Judas (not counting, of course, idle talk) is hypocrisy, a striking contradiction between well-intentioned reasoning and dirty aspirations. All attempts by Porfiry Golovlev to snatch himself a bigger piece, keep an extra penny, all his murders (you can’t call his policy towards relatives in any other way), in a word, everything he does is accompanied by prayers and pious speeches. Remembering Christ through every word, Judas sends his son Petenka to certain death, harasses his niece Anninka, and sends his own newborn baby to an orphanage.
But not only with similar “God-pleasing” speeches Judas harasses household members. He has two more favorite topics: family and household. On this, in fact, the scope of his outpourings is limited due to complete ignorance and unwillingness to see anything that lies outside his little world. However, these everyday conversations, which are not averse to the story and mamma Arina Petrovna, in the mouth of Judas turn into endless moralizing. He simply tyrannizes the whole family, bringing everyone to complete exhaustion. Of course, all these flattering, sugary speeches do not deceive anyone. Mother from childhood does not trust Porfishka: he overacts too much. Hypocrisy, combined with ignorance, does not know how to mislead.
There are several strong scenes, which make the reader almost physically feel the state of oppression from the enveloping speeches of Judas. For example, his conversation with his brother Pavel, who is dying. The unfortunate dying man is suffocating from the presence of Judas, and he, allegedly not noticing these throwings, “in a kindred way” makes fun of his brother. The victims of Judas never feel so defenseless as when his idle talk is expressed in "harmless" banter that never ends. The same tension is felt at the point in the novel where Anninka, almost exhausted, tries to escape from her uncle's house.
The longer the story goes on, the more people fall under the yoke of Judas tyranny. He harasses everyone who enters his field of vision, while remaining invulnerable himself. Yet even his armor has cracks. So, he is very afraid of the curse of Arina Petrovna. She saves this weapon of hers as a last resort against her blood-drinking son. Alas, when she really curses Porfiry, it does not produce the effect on him that he himself feared. Another weakness of Judas is the fear of Yevprakseyushka leaving, that is, the fear of breaking the established way of life once and for all. However, Evprakseyushka can only threaten her departure, while she herself remains in place. Gradually, this fear of the owner Golovlev is blunted.
The whole way of life of Judas is a transfusion from empty to empty. He considers non-existent income, imagines some incredible situations and solves them himself. Gradually, when there is no one alive around who could be eaten, Judas begins to harass those who appear to him in his imagination. He takes revenge on everyone indiscriminately, it is not known for what: he reproaches his dead mother, fines the peasants, robs the peasants. This happens with the same false tenderness that has ingrained into the soul. But is it possible to say “soul” about the inner essence of Judas? Saltykov-Shchedrin does not speak of the essence of Porfish the blood-drinker except as dust.
The end of Judas is quite unexpected. It would seem, how can a selfish man who walks over corpses, a hoarder, who ruined his entire family for the sake of his own gain, commit suicide? Nevertheless, Judas seems to be beginning to realize his guilt. Saltykov-Shchedrin makes it clear that although the realization of emptiness and uselessness has come, resurrection, purification is no longer possible, as well as further existence.
Yudushka Golovlev is indeed an “eternal type”, firmly established in Russian literature. His name has already become a household name. You can not read the novel, but know this name. It is used infrequently, but still occasionally heard in speech. Of course, Judas is a literary exaggeration, a collection of various vices for the edification of posterity. First of all, these vices are hypocrisy, idle talk, worthlessness. Judas is the personification of a person who goes directly to self-destruction and is not aware of this until the very last moment. No matter how exaggerated this character is, his flaws are human, not fictional. That is why the type of windbag is eternal.

What makes Yudushka Golovlev an "eternal type"?(Based on the novel by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin “Lord Golovlevs”)

The type of idle talk (Iudushka Golovlev) is an artistic discovery by M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin. Prior to this, in Russian literature, in Gogol, Dostoevsky, there are images that vaguely resemble Judas, but these are only slight hints. Neither before nor after Saltykov-Shchedrin has anyone been able to portray the image of a windbag with such accusatory clarity.

Seeing for the first time an unsympathetic "outspoken child" sucking up to his mother, eavesdropping, tinkering, the reader can hardly imagine that disgusting, shuddering creature that commits suicide at the end of the book. The image changes beyond recognition. Only the name remains unchanged. Just as Porfiry becomes Judas from the first pages of the novel, so Judas dies.

One of the main features of Judas (not counting, of course, idle talk) is hypocrisy, a striking contradiction between well-intentioned reasoning and dirty aspirations. All attempts by Porfiry Golovlev to snatch a bigger piece for himself, keep an extra penny, all his murders (you can’t call his policy towards relatives otherwise), in a word, everything he does is accompanied by prayers and pious speeches. Remembering Christ through every word, Judas sends his son Petenka to certain death, harasses his niece Ashshnka, and sends his own newborn baby to an orphanage.

But not only with such “charitable” speeches Judas harasses the household. He has two more favorite topics: family and household. On this, in fact, the scope of his outpourings is limited due to complete ignorance and unwillingness to see anything that lies outside his little world. However, these everyday conversations, which mother Arina Petrovna is not averse to telling, in the mouth of Judas turn into endless moralizing. He simply tyrannizes the whole family, bringing it to complete exhaustion. Of course, all these flattering sugary speeches do not deceive anyone. Mother from childhood does not trust Porfishka: he overacts too much. Hypocrisy, combined with ignorance, does not know how to mislead.
