One of the most famous works of Alexander Kuprin is "Garnet Bracelet". What genre does the story about the unrequited love of a modest official Zheltkov belong to? More often this work is called a story. But it also contains features characteristic of the story. It turns out that it is not easy to define the genre of "Garnet Bracelet".
In order to do this, one should recall the content of Kuprin's work, as well as consider the features of both the story and the story.
What is a story?
Underneath it literary term understand writing short prose. A synonym for this word is "novella". Russian writers usually called their works stories. Novella is a concept inherent more foreign literature. There is no significant difference between them. Both in the first and in the second case we are talking about the work small volume, in which there are only a few heroes. Important feature- the presence of only one storyline.
The structure of such a work is quite simple: plot, climax, denouement. In Russian literature XIX centuries, a story was often called what is today called a story. A striking example- everyone famous works Pushkin. The writer created several stories, the plot of which was allegedly told to him by a certain Belkin, and called them stories. In each of these works there are few characters and only one storyline. So why didn't Pushkin call his collection Belkin's Stories? The fact is that the literary terminology of the 19th century is somewhat different from the modern one.
And here genre affiliation Chekhov's works are beyond doubt. Events in the stories of this writer revolve around any, at first glance, minor incidents that allow the characters to look at their lives differently. There are no superfluous characters in Chekhov's works. His stories are clear and concise. The same can be said about the prose of later authors - Leonid Andreev, Ivan Bunin.
What is a story?
The work of this genre occupies an intermediate position between the short story and the novel. In foreign literature, the concept of "story" is missing. English and French authors created either short stories or novels.
IN Ancient Rus' any story was called prose work. Over time, the term has taken on a narrower meaning. Before mid-nineteenth centuries, it was understood as an essay of a small size, but larger than a story. There are usually significantly fewer characters in the story than in the War and Peace epic, but more than in Chekhov's The Wallet. Nevertheless, modern literary critics sometimes find it difficult to determine the genre of a work written more than 200 years ago.
In the story, events revolve around the protagonist. Actions take place in a short period of time. That is, if the work tells about how the hero was born, graduated from school, university, did successful career, and then, closer to his seventieth birthday, he died safely in his bed, then this is a novel, but not a story.
If only one day in the character's life is shown, and the plot contains two or three actors, it's a story. Perhaps the clearest definition of the story would be the following: "a work that can not be called either a novel or a short story." What is the genre of "Garnet Bracelet"? Before answering this question, let's recall the content.
"Garnet bracelet"
A work can be confidently attributed to the genre of a story if it deals with two or three characters. There are more heroes here.
Vera Sheina is married to a kind and well-bred man. She has nothing to do with the telegraph operator who regularly writes love letters to her. Moreover, she never saw his face. Vera's indifference is replaced by a feeling of anxiety, and then pity and regret after she receives a garnet bracelet as a gift from the telegrapher.
The genre of this work could be easily determined if Kuprin excluded such characters as General Anosov, Vera's brother and sister, from the narrative. But these characters are not just present in the plot. They, and especially the general, play a role.
Let us recall several stories included by Kuprin in the "Garnet Bracelet". The genre of a work can be determined in the course of its artistic analysis. And for that, you need to go back to the content.
Crazy Love
The officer fell in love with the wife of the regimental commander. This woman was not attractive, and besides, she was a morphine addict. But love is evil ... The romance did not last long. An experienced woman soon got tired of her young lover.
Garrison life is boring and monotonous. The military wife, apparently, wanted to brighten up everyday life with thrills, and she demanded proof of love from her former lover. Namely, throw yourself under a train. He did not die, but remained disabled for the rest of his life.
Love triangle
Another story from garrison life is told about another story included in the "Garnet Bracelet". Its genre could be easily defined if it represented individual work. It would be a classic story.
The wife of a brave officer, highly respected by the soldiers, fell in love with a lieutenant. A passionate romance ensued. The traitor did not hide her feelings at all. Moreover, the husband was well aware of her relationship with her lover. When the regiment was sent to war, she threatened him with a divorce if something happened to the lieutenant. The man went to sapper work instead of his wife's lover. Checked guard posts for him at night. He did everything to save the health and life of his opponent.
General
These stories are not random. They were told to Vera by General Anosov, one of the most striking characters in the Garnet Bracelet. The genre of this work would not raise doubts if this colorful hero did not exist in it. In that case, it would be a story. But the general distracts the reader from the main storyline. In addition to the above stories, he also tells Vera about some facts from his biography. In addition, Kuprin paid attention to other secondary characters(for example, sister Vera Sheina). The structure of the work from this has become more complex, the plot is deep and interesting.
The stories told by Anosov impress main character. And his reasoning about love makes the princess look differently at the feelings of a faceless telegraph operator.
What genre is "Garnet Bracelet"?
It was said above that in literature there was no clear division between such concepts as a story and a story before. But that was only in early XIX century. The work referred to in this article was written by Kuprin in 1910. By that time, the concepts used by modern literary critics had already been formed.
The writer defined his work as a story. Calling "Garnet Bracelet" a story is wrong. However, this mistake is forgivable. As one well-known said, not without a share of irony literary critic, no one can perfectly distinguish a story from a story, but philology students like to argue on this topic.
