Composition. Chatsky - the image of the "new man" in the comedy "Woe from Wit

Chatsky starts new Age- and this is his whole meaning and his whole mind.
I. A. Goncharov
A. S. Griboyedov's comedy "Woe from Wit" played an outstanding role in the socio-political and moral education several generations of Russian people. It armed them to fight against violence and arbitrariness, meanness and ignorance in the name of freedom and reason, in the name of the triumph of advanced ideas and genuine culture. We, like our fathers and grandfathers, admire the artistic perfection of "Woe from Wit", the brilliance of the language, the strikingly vivid depiction of life and customs, the realistic accuracy of Griboyedov's images.
The comedy shows the struggle between the new and the old, which flared up more and more, penetrating into different areas life, reflected in art and literature. Observing this struggle in life, Griboedov showed it in his comedy from the point of view of an advanced person of his time, close in views to the Decembrists.
In the image of Chatsky, Griboedov for the first time in Russian literature showed a "new man", inspired by lofty ideas, revolting against a reactionary society in defense of freedom, humanity, mind and culture, cultivating a new morality, developing A New Look on the world and on human relations.
Alexander Andreyevich Chatsky is a young man, a nobleman. Chatsky's parents died early, and he was brought up in the house of Famusov, a friend of his late father. Chatsky is not only smart, but also a developed person, with a feeling, or as his maid Lisa recommends:
Yes, sir, so to speak, eloquent, but painfully not cunning;
But be a military man, be a civilian,
Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp,
Like Alexander Andreevich Chatsky!
In "Woe from Wit" all Famusov's guests slavishly copy the customs, habits and attire of French milliners and rootless visiting crooks who got rich on Russian bread. All of them speak "a mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod" and go dumb with delight at the sight of any visiting "Frenchman from Bordeaux". Through the mouth of Chatsky, Griboyedov, with the greatest passion, exposed this unworthy servility to a stranger and contempt for his own:
So that the Lord destroyed this unclean spirit
Empty, slavish, blind imitation;
So that he would plant a spark in someone with a soul,
Who could by word and example
Hold us like a strong rein,
From pathetic nausea on the side of a stranger.
Chatsky ardently loves his homeland, but not the state of tsars, landowners and officials, but Russia of the people, with its mighty forces, cherished traditions, intelligence and hard work. This genuine love for the motherland turned into an ardent hatred for all kinds of slavery and oppression of the people - social, political, spiritual.
The nobles of the Famusov circle appreciate rank and wealth in people, and Chatsky is sincere, witty, he laughs at Famusov, sharply jokes about the Moscow nobles, their life and pastime:
Are not these rich in robbery?
They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,
Magnificent building chambers,
Where they overflow in feasts and prodigality.
Yes, and who in Moscow did not clamp their mouths
Lunches, dinners and dances?
Famusov is trying to teach Chatsky: "Do not mismanage your estate, brother. And most importantly, go and serve." Chatsky despises people who are ready
Have patrons yawn at the ceiling,
Appear to be silent, to shuffle, to dine,
Substitute a chair, raise a handkerchief.
He believes that it is necessary to serve "the cause, not the persons." Chatsky defends the right of a person to freely choose his occupation: to travel, live in the countryside, "fix his mind" in science or devote himself to "creative, high and beautiful arts", therefore Famusov announces Chatsky a dangerous person who do not recognize the authorities.
Chatsky's personal drama is his unrequited love for Sophia, Sophia, with all her good mental inclinations, still belongs entirely to the Famus world. She cannot love Chatsky, who opposes this world with all the turn of his mind and his soul. He loves seriously, seeing in Sophia future wife. Meanwhile, Chatsky managed to drink a bitter cup to the bottom, not finding "living sympathy" in anyone, and leave, taking with him only "a million torments."
Ah, he say love is the end,
Who will go away for three years!
A. A. Chatsky is seriously preparing for social activities. “He writes and translates nicely,” Famusov says about him and keeps talking about his high mind. He traveled, studied, read, apparently took up work, was in contact with the ministers and dispersed. It is not difficult to guess why: "I would be glad to serve - to serve
sickening."
One of the main distinctive properties Chatsky - fullness of feelings. It manifested itself both in the way he loves, and in the way he is angry and hates. In everything he shows true passion, he is always hot in soul. He is ardent, sharp, smart, eloquent, full of life, impatient. He is the embodiment of good youth, honesty, gullibility, youthful boundless faith in himself and his abilities. These qualities make him open to error and vulnerable.
Chatsky is the only visibly acting positive hero in Griboedov's comedy. But it cannot be called exceptional and lonely. The thinker, the Decembrist fighter and the romantic are united in him, as they were often united in that era in real people And real life. He has like-minded people: we learn about them thanks to off-stage characters(those that are mentioned in the play, but which are not directly involved in the action). These are, for example, the professors of the Pedagogical Institute, who, according to Princess Tugoukhovskaya, "practice schisms and unbelief", these are "crazy people" inclined to learning, this is the nephew of the princess, Prince Fedor, "a chemist and botanist."
Chatsky in comedy represents the young thinking generation of Russian society, its best part. A. I. Herzen wrote about Chatsky: "The image of Chatsky, sad, restless in his irony, trembling with indignation, devoted to a dreamy ideal, appears at the last moment of the reign of Alexander I, on the eve of the uprising on St. Isaac's Square. This is a Decembrist, this is a man who completes the era of Peter the Great and strives to see, at least on the horizon, the promised land ... "
Griboyedov's comedy is still fanned with the breath of life, calling people forward, into the present and future, and sweeping away everything old and obsolete from its path.
