In the comedy "Woe from Wit" Griboyedov tells about the life of noble Moscow in the 19th century. This is the time when the orders of the old, Catherine's era are changing for a new one, in which a person does not want to put up with the backwardness of the country, wants to serve his homeland without demanding ranks and awards. Chatsky is such a person, and his relationship with Famus society is the main conflict in comedy.
Representatives of the Moscow society are: the old woman Khlestova, the prince and princess Tugoukhovsky, Khryumins, Skalozub, Sofya, Molchalin, Gorich, Zagoretsky, Repetilov and others. The life of this society is busy with dinners, balls, card games and gossip. Before the highest in position, they please and flatter, and their attitude towards serfs is very cruel: they are exchanged for dogs, separated from their relatives and sold alone.
Famusov is the main representative of the Moscow society. Most of all in people he is interested in their social status. Therefore, for his daughter, he wants a husband with "stars and ranks." For this role, in his opinion, Skalozub is ideally suited, who “is both a golden bag and marks the generals”. Famusov is not worried about Skalozub's mental limitations, his soldier's manners. However, despite all the efforts of her father, Sophia chooses Molchalin.
Molchalin is young and energetic, he has his own "philosophy of life" - "to please all people without exception." Personal gain and self-interest are in the first place for him. He has no opinion of his own in anything: "In my years I should not dare to have my own judgment." To achieve his goals, Molchalin pretends to be in love with Sophia.
The opposite of Molchalin is Chatsky. Griboyedov portrayed Chatsky as a prominent representative of the "present century." A young nobleman, not rich, educated enough, has his own opinion on many problems of our time. He revolts against serfdom, an empty way of life, an unreasonable upbringing, an unscrupulous service.
But since the rest of the heroes of the comedy belong to the “past century”, they simply do not understand Chatsky. Everything he talks about is alien to the Famus society. If for Molchalin it is considered normal to serve others, then Chatsky says: "I would be glad to serve, it is sickening to serve." And if there are people who understand him, for example Gorich, then they are simply afraid to go against public opinion. When society declares Chatsky to be crazy, he is forced to leave Moscow.
Thus, the nature of the main conflict in the comedy consists in the opposition of Chatsky to the Famus society. As a result of this confrontation, Chatsky found himself completely alone. His accusatory monologues do not arouse sympathy among those present, and all of Chatsky's “million torments” is in vain. However, it is not. The fact is that in the image of Chatsky, Griboyedov portrayed progressive people who want to serve the Fatherland.
